Teen Mom’s David Eason threatens to use fans for ‘target practice’ with his crossbow after row over family dog shooting
TEEN Mom star David Eason has threatened to use his crossbow on a fan who launched at him on social media.
The reality star joked he would use the fan who lashed out at him for killing his family dog as "target practice" as he brandished the ranged weapon.
It resulted in the parents temporarily losing custody of their three children - and Teen Mom 2.
David took their French bulldog named Nugget out to the backyard and shot him after the dog displayed Ensley, four.
It was this that one fan took the chance to allude to in a new video where the father-of-two could be seen brandishing a hunting crossbow.
David filmed himself holding the weapon as he dressed in camouflage and hid among the forest in North Carolina on a hunting trip.
"Feels good to be in the woods," he wrote to his fans, who couldn't help but enquire what the reality TV star was hunting for.
"Hunting for chihuahuas?" one cheeky follower asked, referencing the small dog that was shot in their back yard in the spring of 2019.
"No, just looking for people like you on my land so I can use em for target practice," David hit back in a threatening response.
"So David started filming from far away and then all of a sudden she went to go give the dog a hug and the dog like bit her on the face, almost in the eye.
"Then, after that happened, you know, the way David was raised, he took the dog outside and took care of it himself.
