Just what we need, more in-yer-face foolishness to fuel the anti-hunters. That a**hat just set us back about 30 years with this PR disaster. What an arrogant jerk.

How is a spear to the vitals any different than an arrow or a bullet? I see someone who is crazy to get that close but he put the spear in the right place and I could see a large spear like that being a lot quicker of a kill than many broadheads that are openly used today.

I wouldn't worry about the antis.. they'll always be around...whether you hunt ethically or not.

and he harvested it and I'm sire will enjoy eating it... a kill is a kill... the antis will always find things to use against hunters... Is baiting "ethical" - some would strongly argue not... We have to ignore this

Too bad his hunting skills are not matched by an equal or higher IQ.

People should always consider the consequences of their actions.

Seems like a foolish way to hunt a bear, but i don't see anything wrong with it, just a big arrow. I think that is a article written by a anti hunter....

this was posted months ago on here.
i think if he practiced and got his technique just right, than what is the difference than using a bow?? However most people are not body-builders and will not be able to put a spear right in the vitals and this encourages copy-cats who will be stalking through the woods under trained with spears trying to stab bears.

that article though.... it is the most anti-hunting toned article i have ever read... i love how they quote animal rights activists as if they are scientists or experts on the subject.

this is a tough one, but from the perspective of PR for hunting (which unfortunately is very important), this is way off the mark. this is not a method of hunting i would get behind, mostly because i do not feel the average person could get good enough to hunt with a spear ethically.

It is called risk assessment, maybe he has a really high IQ and understands that the likelihood of the bear charging him is low and that his mind and body are up to par to react in a situation that may warrant it.

Not a whole lot different than car racing, sky diving or walking across the street for that matter.

Wow you'd think that using a spear to get meat for your family was totally unheard of, eh Pilgrim
