No excuses for these clowns. You shoot a deer to make soup? In our society, if you can afford an assault rifle, you sure as hell can afford to buy a can of soup or go to meat section of a market and buy meat/bones from animals bred for eating! There is such a thing as "grass fed", "organic" farmed poultry, beef, pork, fowl, you know.
Last time I checked, the VAST MAJORITY of hunters DO NOT shoot small or immature animals for food.
This kid was born to two idiots. It messed him up, and it cost the lives of innocents. End of story.
