A new website offering internet based hunting is causing public outcry and lawmakers are starting take action. Wisconsin Rep. Scott Gunderson, R-Waterford, is proposing a bill which would ban online hunting in the state of Wisconsin. Meanwhile, several other states including Texas, where the website is based, have also moved to outlaw hunting over the internet. John Lockwood, founder of Live-Shot.com says he originally created the site for disabled hunters who would like to hunt but physically cannot. Currently the site only offers customers paper targets for practice, but live game is scheduled to come later next month.

There is a lot of confusion surrounding this site so I decided to check it out for myself...and from what I read, it seems to offer a pretty controlled hunting environment. The hunting takes place on a remote ranch somewhere near San Antonio, Texas. Ranch personnel are always present during a hunting session and have the ability to override the controls at any time. It seems like a good option for the those enthusiasts who are unable to make it out into the woods and even offers discounts for disabled hunters.
