Seems like it takes the entire purpose out of hunting - the thrill of stalking, pitting yourself against nature, etc. I don't care for hunting myself, but having grown up in northern Minnesota with a passel o' gun-toting relatives, there's something about the cameraderie and the effort that is just lacking here. Might as well be playing Halo.
Kind of off-topic, ratbastid and I came up with the idea of setting up a cat-squirting cam with an X-10 camera and a supersoaker so we could monitor our cats' actions and squirt them while we weren't home. Squirting them in person just makes them think "ah, if I get up on the counter when the big hairless cats are here, I get wet....I'll just wait till they're gone!" But if we could shoot them anytime, it'd be real Hand of God stuff. We even thought jokingly about setting up a website - squirtmycat.com - and charging to let people man the gun for a while, but we figured we'd end up with very wet, very neurotic cats.
