Internet Hunting

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shooting-made-easy dept.

cybergrunt69 writes "An enterprising Texan, John Underwood currently has a website that lets you target-practice online with a .22 caliber rifle, but will soon start offering "hunting" abilities. He recently built a platform for about $10,000USD to house this new system on his 300 acre properly, but the Parks and Wildlife department is now scrambling to find ways to try and stop him. While this may sound like cheating to some people, this may be a large benefit to hunters with disabilities."

  4. Mouse aiming? Forget that, I need WASD too~! by MukiMuki · · Score: 5, Funny

    What we NEED is a robot on a Segway (for terrain adaptation and minimal field footprint) that's noise-dampened, carrying a shotgun, with a sensor that won't allow it to shoot outside a given radius.

    Why all this, you ask? So we can CIRCLE STRAFE those freaking animals over the internet~!

    I don't think the "he was a camper" defense would stand up in court.

  6. An advanced society.... by raehl · · Score: 4, Funny

    An advanced society makes accomodations for its disabled members, which is why prostitution should be legalized immediately.

    A more concise summary of the essence of redneckhood may never have been spoken. Truly a quote for the ages.
