Mouse vs. Moose
A Senate committee just cleared a bill that would ban Internet hunting in North Carolina. Specifically, it would ban someone setting up an operation in North Carolina that offers one the opportunity to view and shoot game over the Internet.
The bill has already been cleared by the House and with the nod from the Senate’s Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources committee it next heads to the Senate floor.
There was such an operation in Texas. See stories from The Washington Post and the L.A. Times on the place. (Registration required in both cases.)
The way I read it, House Bill 772 only bans computer assisted hunting by remote. So, if you're on site, and use a computer to track your quarry and "pull" the trigger, you're free to blast away.
Bill sponsor Rep. Fred Steen, a Landis Republican, summed up this bill best when he told the committee: "I don't think we want anywhere in North Carolina where you can click a mouse and delete a Moose."
