>A good idea. We are already working on it, minus the rifle but with a digital camera as well as a regular camera. the customer gets a photo album, digital, dvd or still and because this happen during hunting season in rural BC the person is taking up a space that a hunter would use to make a KILL

keep working on it. e-mail me at fredmonika@hotmail.com

>>We are a team of 8 engineers that have volunteered to
>>research and design a process, product and/or service
>>for a Community. We will develop a display based on
>>the theme 'Engineering for Ecotourism'. However, we
>>would like your opinion on our idea. If you have
>>anything you would like to state regarding the
>>benefits to conservation, social aspects, moral
>>implications, or anything else - your words would be
>>largely appreciated.
>>Please allow me to elaborate on the concept:
>>
>>Game hunting. Responsible for countless numbers of
>>extinctions
>>and endangerments. It will never be stopped, but it
>>can be
>>controlled. The 'killing' effect removed; the animal
>>populations
>>restored; the local people assisted; the fun and
>>thrill kept.
>>With the revolutionary new SHR, Simulated Hunting
>>Rifle.
>>
>>Through a tiny digital camera installed in the scope
>>of a former
>>hunting rifle, the hunter points and shoots, and a
>>digital
>>photo, with real/superimposed crosshairs is taken and
>>stored. A
>>battery pack in the shoulder stock runs the devices, a
>>compressed air cylinder provides a realistic smoke and
>>recoil,
>>and the ingenious reloading system where the
>>photographs are
>>stored in a 10-shot magazine-style memory module.
>>
>>The photos are viewed on a computer at base camp
>>through a
>>direct uplink from the memory modules, or while in the
>>field on
>>a 'Viewcam' style flip screen installed in the stock.
>>Photos are
>>available for purchase from the base camp. The base of
>>the stock
>>is removed to replace the batteries and gas bottle.
>>
>>Although this may seem still like a blood sport, it is
>>the only
>>true way to control game hunting. Human's enjoy the
>>thrill of
>>hunting, killing, dominating... The SHR provides the
>>thrill of
>>the hunt, without the conscience/nightmares of
>>slaughtering
>>innocent animals. Tourists partaking in the 3 day
>>guided hunting
>>tours are supporting the locals with which they
>>live/dine/travel. The impact on the
>>environment/ecosystems is
>>positive: no destruction, and money going back into
>>the land and
>>the peoples who own it...
>>
>>Plans are already in production for peripheral devices
>>taken/used on the hunting tours (safer trucks/APCs.
>>etc), and
>>modifications of the gun for other hunting areas
>>(underwater-spearguns, forests-shotguns,
>>space-laserguns)
>>
>>Help, complaints and any comments welcome. Email:
>>mk.morgan@student.qut.edu.au
>>
>>Thank you for your consideration.
