Computer Hunts

[eyecrosser2000]

Did anybody read the article in a "popular weekly outdoor newspaper" about the guy who is starting a business that lets people shoot exotic animals from their computer? I read it a couple of times to make sure I was getting it right, but I am sure that for a big fee (couple thousand bucks) you can sit at your computer, watch animals at feeding station, and shoot an animal. Not sure of all the details, but it seems like the web-cam is synched up with the crosshairs on the rifle and when you click the mouse you pull the trigger. Wow!

I saw that article. I gave me a real uneasy feeling. I don't like it at all.

I saw that article to. Doesn't sound very sportsman like, sounds more like playing a video game.

The sad thing is there are people who will do it.

I read the same article you can see a demo of the shoot on the HSOforum. seems a little scary and very unsportsmanlike. If you need to sit behind your computer to shoot animals then it's probably a safe bet that most of us are happy your not in the woods. I guess different strokes for different folks.

What the he!! happened to the good ole days of fair chase, now that really crosses the line! That shouldnt even be legal, i agree, if you dont even want to get off your duff to leave the house to enjoy the hunt than I'm probably glad you arent in my woods also!

You gotta be kidding me... Pulling the trigger and watching the animal fall is about the only part about hunting that I somewhat dislike. And people will pay big money to do only that? Makes ya wonder.....
