Interesting enough, while Okanagan typed it tongue in cheek and obviously being facetious, the scenario was almost brought to fruition here in Texas!

If you recall, a few years back there was a group that came under fire (rightfully IMHO) for attempting to market and sell "Internet hunts"! They had a rifle rigged up in a blind that could be controlled remotely via Internet. The Internet "hunter" (they were pitching it mainly for the disabled) could log-in, and control the rifle via their mouse. Click - click..... BOOM. Dead deer.  :alscalls:


I remember that. I remember seeing plenty of footage, and plenty of ads. What ever happened to it?
When I seen it, they were stuffing people in wheelchairs.

Long story short, 40 States have enacted laws or regulations to ban internet hunting. There was also Federal legislation proposed, but I'm not sure if it ever made it to a vote.  :shrug:
