http://www.live-shot.com/
We are currently working on a very comfortable, ADA compliant blind which will house the LIVE-SHOT shooting system. Once this and the perimeter fencing are completed, will we be able to offer a unique computer assisted hunting opportunity. Disabled and handicapped hunters, as well as others who would like to try this type of hunting, will be able to use our system. This is offered in addition to the traditional hunting methods that will be available at the ranch. For those interested in coming to Texas for a hunt, lodging and meals are available in nearby Rocksprings. Transportation is available to and from the ranch and pick up form San Antonio international airport can be provided. Listed are some of the species which will be available on a year round basis.

Just when you thought you had seen everything.
I wonder if I could start something like this but instead
I will set up a camera and instead of a hunt in will be an orgy LOL.

So you'd control a "device" via webcam and remote control after having subdued or otherwise pacified your quarry...hmm...that would be worth $15 a month, especially since you can get it all on DVD after.

This could be interesting. The hunting part seems far fetched, I'll grant you. If you can't leave the comfort of your house to take game, you have no business hunting.
The target shooting though sounds like a neat idea. Gimmicky as hell, but not a bad idea. Might be fun to try as an internet diversion once or twice, but you can play Deer Hunter on the computer and probably have just as much fun. Far as hunting goes, it's probably more fun.
That's why it's called hunting and not killing.

Hmmm...combine this idea with capital punishment, and I think there's some serious money making potential here.
-
Hell its already been done SOB, back in the old days. Remote control rifle house. No one made money on it then. Why do you think it would make money now?
Saw something about that on the History Channel not long ago.

The part that I don't get is the "Disabled and handicapped hunters" aspect of it. From the ones that I know who hunt they enjoy getting out into the woods and can do so with assistance from friends and others who enjoy hunting as much as they do. If you are so handicapped as to be bed ridden or house bound I really don't think you are wondering about shooting something this way as much as you would be about making it from day to day.
These deer ranchers should be put out of the online hunting business. In my view; if you are going to hunt get off your butt and go do it. Hell thats over half the reason I go hunting is to get outside and away from the real world.

The whole thing is...sick

I agree Reschke, but there was no mention of deer hunting in your link. The game animals are sheep and wild hogs. Exotic animals mostly, and mostly tame. How wild can a sheep or hog be?
Les

There was an article on the BBC UK site (should be the first article in a google search for remote control hunting) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4022147.stm
In there it mentions that regulated animals such as native deer were not able to be hunted but as you can only imagine it may change everything.

Ummm.........
Have you ever SEEN a wild boar? Or even a sow with piglets? My dad damn near lost his leg to one of those because he thought like you.
Even though the ones here in Hawaii are nothing like the size of real Razorbacks, I still wouldnt want to get too darn close to one. 100-200 pounders are still big enough to take a chunk outta you if you arent careful. A real Razorback I wouldnt get within 100 yards of unless I had a high powered rifle and a quick getaway in case I dont drop him fast. They can hit over 300 pounds, and the shield on those things can stop a .44 magnum.

Wheew, you mention that S word again and JOC will appear. :D
On the other hand a hog can be just wild enough to cut a stirrup from a Billy Cook roping saddle while your trying to do a circus act by standing up on the saddle. :p

I've killed several large boars walking down the road at 7:00 AM at various times. The largest one I've heard of was a 600 pounder (estimated), and the 7mm magnum misfired. I have the cartridge, and no quarter was given to the hunter who had it in his sights. However I believe him when he described the size. We hunted in the river swamp and killed about 30 hogs amongst 3 people.

Wild hogs occasionally tear up the golf courses around here. A guy I work with offered to take me hunting them. All they use are dogs & knives. I think they've lost their minds.
-
Thats what they use here too. Ive been on one hunt, and yes, they have lost their minds. I'm not in any kind of shape to be running through jungle with those dogs while they chase down a boar, and then wrestle the damn thing and stab it with a knife. I have taken one with a bow here. Damn good eating. I'd never dream of going after a big wild boar on the mainland with a bow though. Not unless I was in a tree where he couldnt get at me.

Wild pigs are not dangerous. They're a lot more concerned about staying to themselves and minding their own business than being defensive. They are elusive and shy animals, and do not attack men.

How about this one?

That's a nice picture Rhino. I would post mine but don't want peta to be upset with me.:D

I didnt kill that one. I sure wish I had. I just did a search for big hogs and this is what I found. Just wanted to illustrate how big these things get.

LOL Those Alamba pigs must be nibbling on the valium trees over there.
You run up on a bunch of wild hogs around here, especialy if there`s pigs around, you better have your track shoes on or be able to climb trees reeeeaaaal fast because they will get in your back pocket in a heartbeat.

Most of the fun I have hunting is just being out in the woods and the hunt itself. The meat is just like icing on the cake. I couldn't imagine sitting on my butt in a nice warm house with a cup of coffee and hunt. It just doesn't have the same feeling to it... :rolleyes:
-
Yep. Maybe the hogs around you have been nibbling on something with a sedative effect, because when I went Razorback hunting in Arkansas, you better make damn sure you know where a good climbin tree is at all times. You get downwind of one of those things even, and you can hear it coming from over 100 yards away. They do NOT like intruders, and have no fear of men whatsoever. Here's a bit from a ranch that organizes hunts in Florida......
It's the personality in addition to the power and athleticism of the wild boar that beguiles so many hunters, now, and over millenia. Wild boar are secretive and wiley--and can be terrifying. When cornered they can become vicious...and they will hold a grudge.
At times the squalling of a caught hog will draw in other enraged hogs, but it's not because they want to rescue a buddy...they come purely from inflammation of their aggressive drive. Hogs that approach a downed comrade come not to mourn, but to dine. Hogs are not nice to each other, or to anyone else for that matter (apart form maternal groups, but after pigs are weaned, even they're not that nice). Boars have been known to circle around a human adversary to initiate their own attack from behind. A boar, pressed by a pursuing pack of dogs will still make the extra effort to hook the hunter as he's passing, and some boars get so ticked off and insulted that they'll continue to harrass and bite at a hunter that is already up a tree.
Someone who has injured a wild boar, might get a look--directed to only him--that could kill, and with the boar's first opportunity, be the target of its charge.
The hunter's wisdom when boar hunting is to, in a confrontation, "pick your tree" so you will not take that extra millisecond to decide which one to climb.

I could say the exact same thing about grizzly bears, does that make them not dangerous either?
Saying they do not attack men is just plain false, they will attack if startled.

I don't know about the wild pigs down in extreme south Alabama as I haven't hunted them down there. However the ones up closer to the central part of the state are long lost relatives of the Eurasian boar that was imported into the South over a hundred years ago to help get the hogs bigger. A few escaped into the wild as all things like that do and they have a nice niche area from about Selma north to Centerville and over to Tuscaloosa and down towards Demopolis. There have been several in the 300+ pouind category taken from there. I also was invited on a knife hunt but politely told my friends they were stupid and asked where the nearest tree was so I could get up it in a hurry and if I could bring my Springfield 1911 .45!

They certainly will attack
