Heres something for all you budding marksmen and women.

"LIVE-SHOT is a new concept. You can challenge yourself and compare your skills to other members with our on-line target shooting. We have developed a system where you can control a pan/tilt/zoom camera and a firearm to shoot at real targets in real time.

While your membership is active, access the viewing cameras to see how others stack up to your abilities, control the pan/tilt/zoom camera to take a look around, and schedule a reservation for your on-line shooting experience.
Currently, shooters will be able to fire 10 (ten) .22 caliber rounds at paper and silhouette targets."

You will also be able to shoot wildlife online in the near future. Yup I could shoot a bunny in Texas from Scotland!

Saw this on the "Today Show".. it's for real.

Oh and since we're talking about Texas "bunnies" again I thought maybe it was time I show you a picture of one so you know just what you'll be getting yourself in to should you decide to hunt them online or otherwise.

Now that's a Texas "bunny". Anything smaller probably was imported from Oklahoma, Arkansas or New Mexico (we don't import from Louisiana for health reasons). <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> They are usually not this tame however. This one was obviously raised in captivity. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You know you are messing up my ability to wear slippers when I come to this forum.

You just pile it so high, I am going to have to buy hip waders. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Very impressive. Of course, to find the most ferocious of the genus Lepus, you have to come to Utah. Here is an example:

Come and pursue him--if you dare....

Edit: ignore the Wyoming reference. Everybody KNOWS that the largest Jackalopes reside in Utah!

I was thinking chest waders <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I have seen the rubbings on trees during rut ... and I thought they were from teeny tiny deer. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You have got to quit smoking that Elk hair.

The made-up pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald, the Loc Ness monster (Nessy.), and Bigfoot were put together better than that with less technology available back then. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Cut it out, I just have my bedroom slippers on!

I have to go buy those hip waders tomorrow.

Aww, you continent born Americans are too fixated on chests.

Us Europeon born Americans have got it right by loving everything about women as long as the women work and continue to support their man. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just a note to the new concept. personally I find it distasteful to say the least. What is the point of shooting an animal online? See cruelty for the sake of cruelty. The animal is not utilised for a (lifesaving) purpose. What if the animal cripples away in a wounded state out of sight/range? WHAT THEN???

On a lighter note. What are the legal implications of shooting someone via the net? You can argue:-
"I wasnt even a thousand miles near him! It wasnt me alright!"

Are you insinuating that the photo of the fearsome Jackalope is made up? I'll have you know that the Rocky Mountain West is full of watering holes where a Jackalope head adorns the wall above the bar. I have yet to see a mounted Nessie or Bigfoot head--although I do occasionally see Sasquatch-looking fellows sitting at the bar. (I'll leave Oswald for another day.)

No, the infamous Deerbunny is more than a myth.

By the way, shooting any animal by proxy is in my opinion pretty chicken**** unless a person is handicapped in some way and thus unable to harvest the animal themselves.

Ya I saw it again on TV. This time on the local news. Apparently some sportsmans groups are pretty upset about it. That's is atleast according to Dallas, TX broadcast media.

Norad45:

I reread the original post, and I was not able to discern that it meant you would get whatever you shot actually sent to you.

Did you visit the site, and is that the case?

If it is the case, it would appear, based on the laws of some states, that you could be found guilty of hunting without a license, discharging an unlicensed firearm, and shooting animals in an unlicensed hunting preserve by your state or the state in which the "hunting" and kill take place.

As long as I can crawl out there myself, I prefer to do hunting in real time, in real woods, and with real guns.

You try going after Texas jack rabbits and you may wish you were hunting from hundreds of miles away. We don't have bears here but I have heard of a few mountain lions being eaten by wild jack rabbits. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Here in France we have our "Marseillais" (inhabitants of Marseille, on the Mediterranean sea) : one of their most wellknown (and oldest...) joke is about a sardine, a fish that was so big that it blocked the port entrance ....... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well I guess you, in the States, you have Texas people, to tell such stories ....

well its nice to know that my tall texas tales are getting international exposure.

According to my dictionary, "exposure" has different meanings.
Do you mean "publicity" or "denunciation" .... ??? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

publicity most likey
