What is the difference in hunting dear with a rifle, bow or spear?

Very basically, 80 to 180 grains at 2,000 to 3,000 feet per second, vs 400 to 600 grains at 200 to 300 FPS vs the spear weight at 100 fps. I've no idea what kind of energy the spear develops, but my guess it would easily kill a deer. If they're an objection, I'll speculate that people consider it "barbaric".

Hey SJackson, happy New Year.

I an not being a smart ass so if it comes out that way chalk it up to the coffee is still brewing this morning. I guess my point is, what difference does it make what weapon is used to kill the animal, they are still dead. As far as being barbaric I would have to say that has to be an idiotic thing to say. Just because the means to kill an animal isn't modern doesn't make it barbaric. I guess once we get a laser weapon perfected enough to use it for hunting all weapons that fire bullets will be barbaric.
