Internet hunting idea has wildlife officials up in arms
HOUSTON, Texas (Reuters) -- Hunters soon may be able to sit at their computers and blast away at animals on a Texas ranch via the Internet, a prospect that has state wildlife officials up in arms.
The Web site already offers target practice with a .22 caliber rifle and could soon let hunters shoot at deer, antelope and wild pigs, site creator John Underwood said on Tuesday.
Texas officials are not quite sure what to make of Underwood's Web site, but may tweak existing laws to make sure Internet hunting does not get out of hand.
"This is the first one I've seen," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife director Mike Berger. "The current state statutes don't cover this sort of thing."

I'm a hunter but this is just insane.

Underwood, an estimator for a San Antonio, Texas auto body shop, has invested $10,000 to build a platform for a rifle and camera that can be remotely aimed on his 330-acre (133-hectare) southwest Texas ranch by anyone on the Internet anywhere in the world. Cool...

Every time I am in the grocery store I expect one of those tabloids to be named CNN. Really. It would be hilarious, someone should do a graphic

I like the video game where the deer go hunting for the hunters. Very funny. They use beer for bait etc.

LOL, you would ask me that. Only excuse I have for not having even one idea is that I don't read supermarket tabloids. I'll keep thinking. :-)
