[QUOTE="orkan, post: 706461, member: 25377"] I can already see where this is going. Just like the AR15 vs bolt action debate, we will be our own worst enemy here again with this technology. The die-hard traditionalists will [B]work against their fellow hunters[/B] to ban/regulate/restrict this technology simply because it goes against their chosen system. Yet again we'll be divided where we should be united, and the other team will laugh as they gain ground against us in the end game. As so goes virtually every ridiculous regulation that turns some hunters into criminals just because they don't hunt the way someone else thinks they should. It is truly a sad sight to see, and it's something I don't believe I'll ever get accustomed to. Seeing fellow hunters work to restrict the sport based on some misguided sense of ethics is akin to the Salem witch hunts. There have been many times that I've been in heated debates about long range hunting. Their opponents arguments are the SAME as the arguments I've heard about this technology and others that are controversial. They claim that it is unfair that I can kill a deer a thousand yards away. "Where's the sport in that?" "That is unfair to the animal." "That is unethical to shoot from that distance." On and on it goes. In each instance, an individual or a group of individuals tries to control another individual or group. Instead of worrying about what THEY are doing, they want to tell everyone else what to do as well. This happens in many things outside of hunting... but with the highly politically damaging nature of divisive things like this, it is something we can scarcely afford. [/QUOTE]
