Actually they didn't hunt them with a sharpened stick but rather with a stick with a sharpened rock lashed to the end of the stick. Much more effective, especially if the rock was obsidian.Gee lets go poke a 3000 pound bear with a piece of flint lashed to a stick. Yeah, that's so much better. That kind of talk around the old campfire probably went over real well.

I am sure it was a matter of survival, they didn't do it for fun. Also, compared to bringing down a Mammoth, or worse yet a Cave Bear, a Giant Sloth was probably duck soup:). Flint heads would be infinitely preferable to a sharp stick or the bone spear tips some tribes used.
