Pretty good story. Thanks Old Salt.

I heard about the guy that wants to offer remote hunting via computer.
God I hope that never passes.

I can't see it either..but on the computerized hunting..it's being challenged I think in Texas.
I predicted several yrs. ago that so called deer hunting would come to that.
I was arguing about high fence hunting where people go and buy their hand raised trophies.
I said before it's all over you will be able to sit home in front of your computer and via joystick operate a gun installed on a tower near feeding stations...and it's hear now.
Seems like that is what a lot of people want..just a head on the wall...the lest amount of time and effort the better...specially if they don't even have to get up and leave the house..or actually go outdoors.

me three . If what you are talking about is killing animals remotely , using the internet , I didn't know there were enough sick morons out there , to make such a thing economicly feasable . I don't know what to call it , but it certainly isn't hunting . The idea makes me want to puke !

Got it ! Thanks Old Salt . I don't use tree stands , scents , cameras , or bait when I hunt , that's the way I prefer to hunt . I've never been on a guided hunt and never will . I don't "trophy" hunt , I eat what I kill . These are my personal choices . I don't much care about how others choose to hunt , as long as it's legal "fair chase" hunting , and they are doing their killing , in person . Anything beyond that , is not hunting , in my humble opinion . :m2c:

Yep, came up for me this time too. Thanks.

I got it this time and it's what I thought it was.

The remote control man said this in the article.."It's just like it was if you paid for a guided hunt on my ranch, or any one of a thousand of them here in Texas," he said. "Ever since we stopped running after our prey and killing it with our hands, we have evolved into distancing ourselves farther and farther from the game and making it more and more efficient, for whatever reason we want to take it."
Then he says..."Everybody has their own idea of what hunting is," he said. "Just because you don't do it that way doesn't mean somebody else can't do it."


I guess it's pretty much anything goes now. That's got a lot to do with why I decided to go in the other direction and hunt with flintlocks and round balls.

If there is a prize for most asinine quotes, here's my nomination:

New technology, he said, "makes you a more ethical hunter."

:bull:

I guess a night-vision scope and guided munitions would make me the most ethical hunter ever.

 

[bob1961]

i just hunt where i know the deer are....if i don't git one they'll be back the next day i go....started hunting in 1983 and 39 deer have falling to me and 5 were lost....not good but it's not bad either....9 by rifle with no scopes and it was at least a lever action marlin .35..............bob

 

[oomcurt]

"Its modern technology for you"...nope..not in my book..it is modern laziness and stupidity. Man, I dunno...at times I think we are devolving instead of evolving. Sickening, really...everything today seems to revolve around money and technology. If it weren't so sad...it would be laughable..this "thing" we have made part of our culture...really...we have a new God...it solves our problems (well no, but most folks think it does), it does this, it does that..it slices, it dices, it all out stinks, IMO.

"It's back to the intent of maintaining a primitive weapons hunt," said Tom Thornton, game program manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Rather than going more modern, Walt Christensen, past president of the Washington State Muzzleloaders Association, is heading the other way. He plans to hunt next season with a flintlock, joining friends seeking the challenge and romance of the older technology.

These guys can be commended for having the better attitude. Makes me wonder if some other states will also follow suit.

Old Salt

I wish ALL states would adopt that attitude. At the Ohio Deer & Turkey Expo, it's all about technology. If it can be made from plastic, it's got to be good (not).

The publications that the averge guy reads are pushing the inline to the hilt with promises of the same performance that a modern cartridge gun has...gosh...look what Savage firearms has done: a muzzleloader that you can use modern smokeless powder in!

Some fool will attempt that in a muzzleloader not made to withstand that abuse and look out! There's a law suite waiting to happen!

Then what happened to cigarettes may just happen to muzzleloaders!

 

[brubincam]

how do you sneek up on a deer if it is out of range with a remote rifle? :what:
