Cyber-hunters
Has anybody talked about this type of hunting. You go on line to a live game cam, pick your trophy deer, and click. A hunter at the location shoots the deer, and then you are sent the rack and a very large bill.
I have a definite problem with this, although I guess someone who is quadraplegic or weights 500 pounds might argue the pros of this.

RE: Cyber-hunters
I did some reasearch about this. Not sure if you guys know but the camera is robotic controlled through your mouse. They guy is there only to make sure crazy people don't shoot the deer in the foot or something. From what I understand it won't last long.

Oh, but imagine the spin-offs! In the future I could sit at home, and through a click of the mouse, pick offa few terrorists in Iraq. How bout a mugger on the streets of New York? All it would take is a camera- mounted rifle set up inhot spots of crime around the country and we couldwipe out crime all together! Just imaginesitting at the computer while eating a cheesburger and popping a few rapists or child molestors! Ah, the benefits of hunting by computer!

RE: Cyber-hunters
Two sides. I think it should be outlawed, its lame in my opinion. But if the DNR could controll it I think it would be awsome for the extreamly disabled hunters. I wish we could do more for the disabled hunters out there.
