So, you'ver taken the sport out of it completely? Best to not have to break a sweat, eh?

Just a minor nit-pick...Hunting is NOT a sport. It is exactly what it is...It is HUNTING. That's not anything against hunting. I've hunted before, and I refuse to see it lowered to the level of softball. Hunting will become a sport when the deer can return fire. Hunting has been a time honored activity since man found out just how tasty meat is! What this George Eastman wannabe did is poaching. Hunters (at least the non-tree stand kind) look down on poachers and are likely to turn one in faster than this punk at Walmart did.

All the deer hunters I knew used compound bows or rifles and actually did trudge around hunting. What is described as hunting in this article seems to me as no more hunting than what I do at the grocery store.

Nah, then it will be war. However I suspect we'll be to busy with the Jehadists to bother trying to conquer Bambi.

Actually it's not poaching, that's taking game out of season or on lands that you do not have permission to be on. What he did is baiting, and for some types of game, in some states, it is illegal. Of course there is sometimes fine line between baiting and providing suitable habitat and food source for game animals. This guy was apparently way over the line.
