What a GREAT idea! But wait.....maybe not!

I once stumbled on a website designed by a private hunting reserve located somewhere in Texas. They advertised a "real hunt".....right from your desk!

They set up a rifle with motors which allowed you sitting at your computer to elevate and traverse and fire. They then charged many many thousands of dollars which allowed anyone in the world to kill a deer.
They then butchered the animal, froze the meat and sent it to the customer. Their claim was that most of their customers were from countries that outlawed guns or simply lived where hunting was something one could not do.

I am quite certain this required reserve employees "shooing" a passive, probably drugged animal in front of the rifle's field of fire, which was quite narrow.

Thankfully they were in operation only a short time.
