5-Year Old Descendant Of Davy Crockett Kills Him A “Bar”
Posted by Tom Remington on December 12, 2007
“Born on a mountain top in Tennessee.
Killed him a “bar” when he was only three.
Davy, Davy Crockett.
King of the Wild Frontier”
We all learned the song as a kid growing up (well, those of us with a little age behind us) and about the legend of Davy Crockett. Now, 5-year old Tre Merritt, whose grandfather claims is a ten-times removed great grandson of Davy Crockett, has perhaps written his own legend by bagging a 445-pound black bear, shot and killed in Arkansas.
According to Fox Sports, this isn’t the first time young Tre has taken big game.
According to the report, Tre’s father said his son began shooting when he was 2 1/2 and killed three deer last year. What else would you expect from a decendant of the “King of the Wild Frontier?”
You can watch video of Tre and his grandfather from KATV at this site.
