According to a Nov. 19 bulletin from the Georgia Information Sharing & Analysis Center, "three shotguns were set up on a platform and linked to a Web-accessible camera system that allows the guns to be fired via an Internet connection."
A second, identical system was found on the other side of the right-of-way, for a total of six shotguns.
The expensive Benelli shotguns appear to be chambered for 3-inch shells and fitted with magazine extension tubes that increase their capacity from five to as many as eight rounds. Such a system, if fully operational, could direct substantial -- and deadly -- firepower.

I'm sure the intent is fascinating. No hint of who or why.

I read something, somewhere on the suggestion of wild boar as a target.

Actually going hunting is so time consuming, not to mention the mud, snow, cold, bugs, poison ivy, etc. We should be able to have it outsourced to India via fiber optic within the decade.

Wireless internet only travels so far. Cell phone wireless is attached to an account. No way they couldn't figure out who it was if they wanted to.

If I would have found that stuff it would have been mine.

I'd love to have something like that set up in my house for when I'm away.

There was a guy that developed a system like this in Texas a couple years ago for a quadriplegic who could obviously no longer hunt under normal circumstances. I'm surprised it took this long for some redneck to do something stupid and/or illegal with the technology.
