I think even for the handicapped it is BOOSHEUT and I doubt seriously this is why such is promoted. I suggest that the "oh but what about the handicapped?" is just a ploy floated by the very people wanting to get this kind of thing started (about the same way as the anti-abortion folks always pull the "mothers life" crap out of thin air).

Think about it for a minute guys... what are you doing when you pull the trigger on camera? The emphasis is being placed on what?......... the kill. The hunter isn't out enjoying the scenery, isn't out in the wild seeing all of Gods creatures, they aren't enjoying the comradre with anyone. They are just pulling the trigger, BLAM and the head is on its way too the taxidermist. What kind of message would that send too a teenager who is already a Nintendo freak and is clueless about hunting? You think he would be open to going out in the cold and rain or would he rather sit in his worn out video chair behind his all to familiar monitor and "pull the trigger"???

I thought this was already "chit canned" in TX?

It is just the same as the canned hunting issue. Somebody is trying to make money off the small segment of the population that wants a hunting experiance without doing anything. IMO it is wrong but falls in line with all the other modern trappings that people today are growing up with. Kids now are addicted to TV and video games and spend countless hours behind the screen. Theygrow up and see nothing wrong with pulling the trigger via a mouse. After all it is just another killing game. For the disabled hunters there are plenty of places that will accomodate them and their needs in a sportsman like fashon. I am all for fair chase in every situation without any exceptions.

DADGUM IT L.C.C. .... now you let the cat of of the bag ...Ole Jimmy Houston will be doing THIS NEXT ...and its ALL YOUR FAULT

the deal i saw on the news awhile back was here in tx and the guy that did it tryed it out at first wiht a 22lr and ballons as targets but then offerd it wiht big game rifle and exotic game on his ranch im guessing it was intended for qoute[disabled hunters] wich the guy probaly had a good idea 2 start with but when they showed were it could be avilable 2 anyone then i think cyber hunting is crap i dont no if ther are more then just this one but my hat is off 2 every disabled hunter and disabled person in genral thats got 2 be hard, my selfif i was disabled itwould make me mad not being able 2 be outside in the country [HUNTING] not point and click shoot get trophy in the mail thats not right and just anohter thing for the antis 2 pry on but just my 2cents funny thought what would happen if the computer froze as u shot and u hit something u were not aiming at lol just a thought

lpv77, I should apologize for taking aim at a particular city, in this case New York. Being from a rural community, I intended to generalize a hotbed of crime, which to me means "big city", and in this case I randomly picked NY. No offense intended!

I would have to say that the whole thing that its for handicapped is also crap. Ive seen shows wher the disabled are hunting. Seen blind guys,guys in wheel chairs and ive also hard about alot. Hunting over the net is just stupid. When it gets to that point its no longer a sport. There is no challenge no physical activity nothing. So in my own eyes i dont see one good thing about it the only way i would use that thing is if i could turn the gun on the guy sitting by it and shot him.

Amen to that!
