Game hunting via Internet?
Of all the terrible happening around the world today I just can not believe this is happening.
The inter-net is a great tool however this should not be allowed from your own home. How in the world can this be legal?


A controversial Web site, www.live-shot.com, already offers target practice with a .22 caliber rifle Via the net

1. How long before one of these is set up in Iraq?
In a "Live fire zone?"

7. Hunting
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 04:27 PM by Iktomiwicasa
isn't a "sport" here where I live. My family and I depend upon the meat to get us through the winter, same for many families here.

edited for spelling.

8. I am not questioning hunting used for food
I am asking where is the sport in using the inter-net to hunt from lets say 2000 miles away or farther.

11. It's a blessing to the Republican Chickenhawks.
When they eventually set this up for overseas warfare. The Yellow Republicans can sit at home safe and comfy while doing their "duty" online. :eyes:
