Senate bill to make spear hunting legal.

Not for me, but totally awesome for somebody who can pull it off.

I thought spear hunters stabbed their animal with the spear, like bear hunters of old.

But this guy throws the spear? Are you supposed to throw? Or stab?

Getting into stabbing distance to a big game animal is a lot more work than getting to 20-30 yards. I pull that off all the time rifle hunting in trees.

Post by: PTK on February 12, 2011, 08:33:18 PM: If it's legalized, I have reason to take my atlatl out and have some serious fun, along with possibly pissing off a buck enough to nail him with a boar spear.... =D

My horse used to be scared of deer, so one time we chased a couple deer a little ways - that teaches the equine mind that anything that runs away is not to be feared.

Yeah, that went well ...

For a long time after that, he wanted to chase every deer that we saw ;/
