Franklin teen unfazed by note condemning lion hunt

117. your post is so completely wrong

I am not financing a thing...not one dime in fact. My son paid 15.00 for the permit. He was drawn in the lottery. One ticket was a lottery draw (my sons) and the other permit was an auction which auctioned for over 13,000 dollars. Again ..Holden's ticket was 15.00 and he used his own money. As far as the cost of the hunt itself we have people crawling out of the woodwork to help on this hunt. We have offers for free places to stay, free dogs to use, free land to hunt on. Hunting where we live is a way of life. Everyone we know hunts and puts the meat in the freezer. In our family the kids are taught they have to eat what they kill. They are not allowed to just hunt for fun. Every year my children hunt pheasant, deer and turkey. We process all the meat ourselves and make jerkey out of the deer. This season we are donating all of the meat to 2 local families in need who want the meat to feed themselves over the winter.
As far as bragging- not sure what you mean by that. The news has ran several articles on this hunt as it is Nebraska's first and big news around here. We have released very few statements about it. We did not put him in the news the news came to us after his name was drawn. He still remains a child and us as adults know better than to bully children. If you have a problem with the hunt then address it to Nebraska game and if you feel you need to make a personalized statement then by all means make it to me. I am more than happy to address concerns or help straighten out any misconceptions or media coverage concerns.
As far as his illness this is a completely separate thing from the hunt. These two things are not related in anyway.
I am curious...where did you get all your incorrect information? Lets make sure we keep all the data objective not subjective so it can be evaluated and discussed in manners that benefit all. The best part of life is that it is a mixture of many opinions and ideas..no one is completely right or completely wrong is all in your perception. Thank You for sharing your opinion with me.
