Spear hunting sounds primitive but lately has come under fire from some who feel it is too brutal. Spear hunter Michel Blanchett has been spear hunting for 7 years. He claims this primitive way of hunting is the most ethical as it pits you against your game at close range with one throw to get your game. This type of hunting is for the elite hunter
This allows game to have a better chance against a hunter than it would against a long distance rifle shooter or even a modern archery armed hunter. What is your stance on spear hunting? See the action here.
I vaguely seem to remember that some people spear hunted boar in the East Texas swamps back in the 60’s. But I was young and had many other things on my mind.
One has to use an assault spear, so...
Well, wild spear is a bit crunchy, but it tastes far better than the domesticated variety. I’ve stopped hunting spears, though, because I’m getting older, and it’s getting harder to move out of the way of the faster-moving spears when they charge.
“How many spears would a spearchucker chuck, if a spearchucker could chuck spears?”
;^)
I think they should require spear hunting for environmentalists and animal rights activists to understand nature.
Kill or be killed.
Seriously though, "too brutal" ??? What exactly *isn't* brutal about being hunted, killed, and eaten? I'm not saying hunting is bad, just the opposite. Hunting is natural. Right now, all across the globe millions of predators are hunting. Their prey may be speared, shot, clawed or bitten to death. It's a brutal world, the sooner these gentle tender-heart libtards realize that the better for all of us. SMH
Depends on who (whom?) is on the receiving end of the spear.
Never hunted a spear
Spear hunting???
I don’t get the point.
Spear hunting is too easy and gives the hunter too much of an advantage. In west Texas, some people hunt feral hogs with just hunting knives. Jump on their backs and slit their throats. Now that is pretty even odds!
Ugh, umgawa!
It’s fine with me. Why do libs have to ban everything?
Wrong thread.
Went spear hunting once....but I only found 2 spears.
There was an Argentine hunter in the 60’s, who hunter jaguar with a spear (spear and dogs). Lots of people around the world hunt wild pigs with spears and dogs.
The British used to hunt wild pigs with spears and horses, at least until WWI.
They considered it good training for mounted warfare.
I have no problem with this. Why do libs want to try to ban everything they don’t like?
Hillary, Obama the Democrats and some Republicrats want to take away our lawful guns. I guess we’ll have to resort to spears and bows and arrows.
And that’s apparently why he likes this.
I say have at it, ethical self-righteous apostles of The Environment(TM).
