I've seen that one a few times and its about as close to a gut shot as you can get. Wonder why there's no pic of the hunter with his kill?

Geez what a way to kill an animal. Even it it was legal, i could never do that. Does anybody know where that bear was shot? Kinda seems weird that there is a spear season for black bear.....Quote:

that gene morris is real modest too eh
Dont know of too many deer that would run after this hit
Isn't it legal in Quinte in the spring ?
Oh ya,,, sorry my ignorance ,,,, They call that fishing .
My bad !
i wouldn't say too inefficient, it kept the human race alive long enough to invent guns!Quote:

Other shows have extreme long-range shots that by most standards,no hunters I know would take under any circumstances.Personally,I find "trophy" hunting very troubling,but,here we go again with one's own view of what is ethical. I can still remember Dad yelling at me "put that thing down before you poke your eye out!!" That's about how I feel about spear hunting.
Philip, I think if you read back through the history of warfare you'd find that a large proportion of those wounded died a lingering death as a result of infection from their wounds. Theres a reason those types of weapons are referred to as primitive.
i also think you would only find guys that where very dedicated try this and it would not be for every one .also not much worst than 4 guys that unload slugs and ssgs at a deer running across an open field knock it down get back up knock it down .it would be a waiting game .i have been to bull fights and seen bulls killed with a sword that did not suffer like some wild game just my 2 cents but why not
Dedicated? I wish I could believe that but you don't have to go further than YouTube to see that stupid people will try stupid things at least once.
