It's getting tiresome to see killers of near-endangered animals treated like heros.
The essential idea is a dual-scope rifle with "red-dot technology" (sorry to get overly technical with the hunters among you).
Software calculates the likelihood of a "kill" based strictly on a photograph of the
red dot and where it occurred on the identified animal.
Pieces of this are "common as muck", per comments in the link.

Quite right. Most of them are no sort of a
challenge anyway, and no matter what you
do with it, panda is basically tough and
tasteless - just about tolerable in a
casserole*. |
|
|
On the other hand, both the Red-breasted
goose and the Vietnamese pheasant are
delicious. If they want to survive, they
shouldn't taste so good. |
|
|
*The skins, however, make wonderful bedside
rugs, and are a great talking point. |

You say that, but a bowl of deep-fried panda ears is
absolutely fantastic with guacamole. |
|
|
I assume this makes a loud bang when it takes the
picture so the target will run away. Otherwise you
could take many photos while the animal is just
standing around. |

Now you tell us. Sadly, on that occasion, as on so many before, your
Aunt Phosgenia got to the buffet first, leaving in her wake only two
limp lettuce leaves and a large, completely untouched bowl of what
we fervently hope was potato salad. |
|
|
At least now the reason for her ownership of that gigantic handbag is
explained. |
|
|
Given that we're all going to die, what's the point... |
|
|
Stalkers could use this to terrorize their assumed friends. |
|
|
//Aunt Phosgenia got to the buffet first// She has,
in fact, been known to stow away in the caterers'
trucks on their way to family events. It was this
habit, coupled with her famously poor eyesight, that
once led to her being exported to Bolivia. |

This could work. I've been with Druze friends who
have this knack for hunting that I never understood.
I'm sure if they could have a camera that would make
the noise and give the thrill, and then make them
famous for their video of spotting the last Gazelle
seen in the wild, they would adopt the sport with
both hands. |

They could keep the real hunting skills for shooting
myna birds. |
