hunters back in the day regularly used an atl-atl to toss spears at wild deer ~ they were very successful at it.

“It is a known fact that deers are fast animals,” concluded Buric.”

Maybe, just maybe, he found it dead.

I’ve not yet been successful throwing rocks at deer.

[bunkerhill7]

Nahhh they used bolas

[Sawdring]

I got to use an atlatl to throw a spear. It was pretty fun.

[M-cubed]

most likely a road kill....

[stickywillie]

why did they bury the antlers in the dirt if they were found hangin’ on the wall of a prehistoric house? wt*?

[One Name]

Roman chariot, perhaps? The early Croats didn’t have much for horsepower.

I had a friend with a Yugo once; it might have been able to run over a crippled chicken on a good day.

In Croatia, running over crippled chickens is the national sport.

“It is a known fact that deers are fast animals” - and so are mooses.

A guy has to do something to pass the time!

We have grasshopper face-chewing contests when we’re bored here.

[One Name]

The uncrippled chickens get all the slow grasshoppers before their prime, so it is a skewed grasshopper special olympics, at best.

[SatinDoll]

To Hell with the antlers; I want to know more about the jewelry!

[ansel12]

Archaeology union rules.

[muawiyah]

Real men used sharpened stone points on the end of short spears. The bola thing comes along with the bronze age!

[commonguymd]

LMAO. I said the same darn thing.

[bunkerhill7]

Neanderthal women invented the bola by throwing their stone necklaces at their husbands,- Every schoolkid knows that.
