A Kind of Hunt That Even Deer Can Get Behind

Quote:
The tournament, held here in September by the American Whitetail Authority,
was the first in the Whitetail Pro Series, the only hunting competition in which deer are stalked but not killed.
<snip>
Armed with bolt-action 20-gauge shotguns mounted with digital scopes developed
for military training, each hunter was given five blank shells a day.
Each night, he returned the empty shells and firearm to tournament officials,
who removed a memory card from the $1,200 scope.
The 10-second video clips on the card were used to determine the most skillful hunter.

Whitetail Pro Series judges reviewed the day’s video clips from hunters’ scopes at the Gopher Plantation in Millwood, Ga.
