Leave it to those heated blind, deer feeder watcing Texans to come up with an even lazier way to hunt. This kind of thing realy steams me!

Lazy or smart........ :grin: Just kidding, I grew up hunting south Texas and most of the time we hunted by watching a feeder. You talk about easy hunting!!!! Sure was fun, and warm, and you could drink hot chocolate, and take a nap, and talk, and sit back in a chair, and not worry about camo. Yep, it was rough :grin:

Smart, that guy will be a millionaire in no time.

I grew up hunting in Texas. We had feeders on our ranch, although no one was allowed to hunt near them. We never had blinds, but I have seen some with swiveling recliners, heaters, stoves, and all the luxuries of home.

With a majority of the property in Texas being private, if you didn't have feeders on your property you didn't have any animals either.

The stand and feeder hunting doesn't bug me...that's just the way other parts of the world work. However, the idea of "hunting" (term used loosely) from a computer somewhere really irks me.

The anti's will have a field day with this one.

No problem. Then when a guy bags his 'online' buck, they can email the meat and antlers to him.

Chances are that anyone who would use this sort of opportunity to take an animal would only want the antlers.

A quote from the article... "Internet hunting could be popular with disabled hunters unable to get out in the woods or distant hunters who cannot afford a trip to Texas, Underwood said."

As a paraplegic and disabled hunter, who mainly hunts for the meat, I would never stoop this low to have roasted wild game on the table. Even though I can't wade the streams, hike the ravines, struggle through head high salal, etc., as I did in my youth and abled-bodied days...getting out into the wild outdoors via vehicle still is a great part of the hunting experience.

On another note similar to this...I heard partially a story on the radio this morning where some folks were promoting a chance to shoot a steer (cattle) and take it home like it were a big game animal. Anyone else hear of this?
