John Underwood purchased and bred live deer, antelope and wild pigs as targets. The first paid hunt will occur on April 9, and many states are attempting to outlaw it already, including Texas. You have to have a Texas hunting license, pay a one-thousand dollar animal deposit fee, and pay a fifteen dollar monthly fee. For an additional charge, you can have the meat and head sent to you. The final cost depends on the species and size of the animal killed and the cost of having the trophy mounted.In my opinion internet hunting is okay. This doesn’t kill more animals; people can still only kill the same amount. You still have to wait, and look for the right animal that you have a license to kill. It’s definitely not the government’s job to outlaw this. This doesn’t hinder anybody’s life, liberty, property, or pursuit of happiness. John Underwood says he designed it mainly for those who love hunting but are unable to get out into the woods such as the wheelchair-bound. The first person to sign up was Dale Hagberg, a paraplegic from Ligonier, Indiana. Mr. Hagberg says he broke his neck in an accident almost 18 years ago and has only been able to watch hunting on TV. He loved hunting more than anything. "I was an avid hunter before I became hurt, and I've missed it ever since," he says through his nurse. Hagberg is excited - and nervous - about his coming April 9 hunt. "I'm sure when I see the animal walk in my view, my heart will start beating as fast as it used to." Many people say it’s terrible and it’s “the stupidest thing they’ve ever even heard of.â€? people complain that it’s not real hunting and it totally ruins the sport. This doesn’t mean it has to be outlawed. They have the right to complain, and that’s okay. If they don’t agree, then fine, they don’t have to like it, but their attitudes shouldn’t prevent others from doing something they enjoy that doesn’t hinder others in life, liberty or pursuit of happiness in any way.
