It's no different than the soldier throwing a puppy off a cliff-totally heinous! It was no accident. He was trying to hit the hawk, what a loser.

IMO...VERY different.

I guess your right, but I read one report where witneses heard him say "I'll take care of this", and he kept hitting low shots from 75 yds. until he hit the hawk. That's pretty deliberate.

Im not condoning what he did by anymeans....clearly a stupid ass decision. But his chances of hitting the hawk were very slim.....even slimmer if he was hitting low shots.

Again...imo, it is quite different than actually having a puppy in your hands and just tossing him like the soldier did.

I am quite sure he was hoping to hit one close enough to the bird to get him to fly away. I don't think he or any of the video crew around him (who said nothing to stop him) thought there was any chance in hell that he would actually hit the bird.

OK so my analogy was bad, I overreacted and take it back.

What I find funny is that he was filming a piece called "Shoot Like a Pro" yet he contends that he had "like a million to one chance" of actually hitting his target.( no wonder no one can compete with Tiger )

The fact is he took multiple shots at a protected bird in a tree from 75 yds, and was quoted as saying "I'll get him now"

"About the sixth ball came very close to the birds head and Isenhour got very excited", a few shots later he hit the bird.

Only after it died and got reported did he show remorse. The odds of him hitting it were a lot higher than you think. And yes the film crew should have stopped him too.

This happened in December, right?

Good thing it wasn't me and Big's trying to hit the hawk. Poor bird would have died falling from the tree after laughing so hard at us.
