if we can set them up on the border and in iraq, im all for it... |
Afganistan too! Imagine every ARFCOM member manning one of those remote control guns, we'd clean out the all tangos in about 30 minutes and post the pics too!  How about also putting them on the US/Mexican border too!!!

This sounds like a hoax to me. Leaving an electronically controlled weapon available to anyone in the world with a computer is just plain rediculous. It is called reckless endangerment, and there is no way in hell the authorities would allow it. Methinks someone is having a good laugh on this one.... |

I was wondering how long til someone decided to do this. What the hell, drop the gun assembly on an oversized radio controlled vehicle, use a wireless net connection to pilot it (or if you are nearby one of those goofy wireless X10 cams or equivalent). Now not only can you hunt from your office or car (using a laptop) you can also stalk your game! Perfect for the 500lbs lardass who always wanted to be a trained killer but just couldn't step back from the donut pile. |
I agree with that. Defeats the purpose.... we don't much hunt for food, even though we usually eat what we kill (we don't NEED to hunt for food, that is). We hunt because of tradition, to spend time in the outdoors, to spend time with family (father and son hunts) and friends... If you can just point and click on the net... it defeats the whole purpose. |
Huh? Did either of you even read the article before commenting? hinking.gif He says that attendants would retrieve the animal to be disposed of at the hunter's wishes and offers an example of taxidermy and meat processing:

+1 Whacking game in your den, wearing tightie whities while drinking Jack Daniels? Either urban legend or very stupid (albeit fun) idea. |
The guy could have it up and running in the time it takes to network this www.precisionremotes.com/
|
Wait wait wait wait wait. I am supposed to read something before commenting? I read nothing. I want to shoot at the attendant going to get the animal 
|
You don't hunt Texas do you? “Non-game” typically means non-controlled. Non-game animals can be taken by almost any means of legal hunting, whereas "game" animals have certain restrictions placed on how they can be controlled. Mostly non-native animals and nuisance animals are non-game. |
[sarcasm]The Clinton News Network reported it, so it must be true...[/sarcasm] |
Dude, what do you think happened to the cow used to make your hamburger? Do you think it stalked for hours by some hunter who finally got the right shot and took it to your grocery store to be sold in nicely presented packages? NO! It was herded into a smelly slaughter house where it had a pneumatic bolt driven through its temple, then processed assembly line style. Kind of takes the moral superiority out of the argument IMHO I wouldn't shoot an animal via the internet, but if someone else wants to do it then more power to them. It's good for people to REMEMBER WHERE THEIR FOOD COMES FROM!!! |
OM HELL, you could win the war on terror and pay for it to. Set up remote shooting platforms in the cities, sign people up and train them in rules of engagement and target discrimination and then rent the gun to them in hour blocks. Keyboard commandos everywhere shooting insurgents from their computers..... Wow! Great idea-

Actually, if you could rig up something similar using , say, a minigun or two, some old cars, a couple of moving tango targets and some tannerite, you could make a fortune right here every payday! Just click and shoot via PayPal. Imagine the airsofters that would pay to do that! Sarge might even do a production on it!

I wouldn't do it, it's not hunting. BUT, this is an individual's fenced, private property ranch. The animals are NOT game animals, they are exotics/ferals that are HIS LIVESTOCK. To paraphrase a Florida conservation officer who I was questioning about hunting wild hog on private property, "If you go onto a farmer's land and have an agreement to kill as many cows or chickens as you want, by any means necessary, that's not our business. Feral hogs are the landowner's property same as other farm animals, even though they're not fenced." Exotics would be even MORE so. He is allowing you to kill some of his livestock. That's all. And he has the right to do with his property as he sees fit. |
Extremely well put... |
Along with my earlier comments I agree with DDiggler, it is not hunting but it should be permitted. |
+1000. I got no beef with this guy trying to make a buck but DAMN..  That ain't hunting. Why waste the ammo.  All the fun is the getting there and doing it. You want that shit, tune into Jimmy Houston. |
