Real Online Hunting!?!

I heard about this story on the radio during my morning commute and before the work day really starts, I had to write something... WHAT!?!

Sure, there are ways to isolate yourself, in fact hunting can be considered one of those ways. Hike to a remote landscape, set yourself up in a tree and track a deer. But now the internet allows you to sit in your pajamas with a cup of coffee, track a deer a thousand miles away, and make a kill.

First, I am not a hunter, not interested, but not against it, provided that the hunter actually uses the animal to the fullest extent. I don't believe that you should hunt a deer just to get the ten point antler to hang on your wall. But that's my perogative.

Who are these lazy hunters who don't even want to do it right but rather sit at home? It seems to me that as we evolve technologically that the simpler things in life will become digitized and we will lose the qualities we had less than 10 years ago. People don't even go outside to ride a bike or run, we can watch TV while running in place, we can play poker and never see the face of the man/woman we are betting against, you want to call his bluff? He's sitting there laughing his ass off, his hand shaking slightly on his mouse as he anticipates getting caught or winning the pot. But you'd never know cause his avatar sits there unwavering.

It's a great world and maybe I am against hunting as it evidently is wasting the lives of nature and man... Thankfully legislation might force the people to go outside and get some fresh air.
