Catch and release

[Terry]

well it had to happen

 

what do you think

they now have c&r hunting they started by shooting the animal with a camera

 

but most didn't get the feel of the hunt, so they took it to the next step

 

hunting with paintball guns

 

and some have a built in camera so they can get the kill/hit photo

 

and the latest weapon is a paint gun bow and arrow, it gives the shooter the feel of the kill with the animal walking away from the encounter...

 

so what do you think, is it for you

 

is this the future

I hear the MNR is looking into making new regs for it

LOL...

I like it!!!!

If they paint them all up in bright colors then send them on their way it will definatly make 'em easier to find and increase my accuracy!!!

[e-z-out]

I like it makes it more fun.

I hear people shoot these paintballs at each other too

 

what a world

[Smokey]

I agree Brian it would fall under harassment of the animals and never happen.

 

May as well out right kill them for the possible stress you could put them under with that.

 

Now the archery aspect might make the game of paint ball far more exciting.

[misfish]

You see what you have started Terry. bydajeepers.

[bigugli]

There's a whole lot wrong with that concept. Beyond the added stress to the animal, a paintball does hurt. Especially in cold weather when they can be frozen.

What happens if the bull or bear you just painted decides to run at you?

Interesting.... It kind of reminds me though of a study they did in a conservation park in Africa I read about. The ecologists wanted to study different giraffe groups so they painted the ones they wanted to study white..... Until they did that the lions weren't hunting giraffes because they are mean and way too big. Once they were marked though the lion prides killed everyone because apparently lions look for any difference in any potential prey and exterminate anything with that difference?

 

So I can see P3TA saying if you shoot a moose with a paint ball then the lions here will single it out and kill it first!!!! You know especially the blonde P3TA members like Pamela Anderson.

My first thoughts too

[Terry]

for the record

it was a joke...I was interested in peoples gut feelings....

I thought more people would say it was nasty to shoot them with paint

[outllaw]

geee wizz . i hope those paintballs are non toxic.

just kidding.

[pikehunter]

Lay a picture on your plate, pour ketchup on it and enjoy.

 

Non toxic... Naw, the paint balls are made in China and contain lead.

i think most are aware of this. if i saw someone shooting critters with paintballs, theyd better get outta there before i have a chance to grab them

I paintball often I told the girlfriend I want to mod my bow to shoot paintballs. haha Now that would be something to see on the feild.

[purekgw]

Paintballs dont hurt that much but they are harder in the winter and if i where to go hunting with my gun the animal might be all yellow before it walks/ runs away my gun shoot 21 balls per second
