* EveryoneHasStandards: Jimbo is a trigger-happy lunatic, but he has a series of hunting rules that he abides by, don't ever walk with your gun unless the safety's on, don't shoot anything that looks human, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers never spill your beer in the bullet chamber]]. The second one also triggers a JerkassRealization when he realizes that the creature that he was about to shoot was in actuality Cartman in disguise.

Added DiffLines:

** People who've only seen the later seasons would likely be baffled at the sight of [[OnlySaneMan Stan]] being driven to shoot Scuzzlebutt and showing no remorse whatsoever after the fact, which is consistent with [[KidsAreCruel his characterization]] in the early seasons but he will grow out of it as a 4th grader.

Added DiffLines:

* ManlyMenCanHunt: Deconstructed. Jimbo and Ned live by this trope, as does [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior Kenny]]. Throughout this episode, Stan finds himself stuck between his admiration for his uncle and his love for animals. He eventually chooses the former and shoots Scuzzlebutt like Jimbo wanted him to before, but by then the beast had revealed himself to be a GentleGiant so Jimbo is instead horrified.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: In Jimbo's eyes, Scuzzlebutt threads the line between human and animal because he saved their lives, but Stan doesn't see it that way and shoots him thinking it's what Jimbo wanted.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Stan spends most of the episode being belittled for his inability to shoot creatures, and he ends the episode being belittled for shooting a creature.
