Modern spear hunting!
« on: February 11, 2010, 10:49:49 am »
Found this while doing a web search for companies that make spears.

Haven't bought any of his books or DVDs, but I suspect I will.  Spear hunting is illegal here in Vermont, but it's not illegal in all states and countries, so I might practice up for a few years and make some travel arrangements...

    Looks like it's pretty close to a beach too.  Could be a nice trip.

I doubt it.  Between his apparent attitude in the photographs, his portrayal of his skills and kills and his museum I suspect his primary intention in hunting is to overcome some deep-seated feeling of ineptness or insecurity.  But that's my guess.

One thing I've learned from hunting is that there's no relationship between the tools hunters use and the intention we carry with us.  You can hunt "Paleo", with a wooden, sinew-backed self bow and wood, stone-tipped arrows and still be driven by bloodlust or to overcome your personal feelings of insecurity by "defeating" an unarmed animal.  Or you can carry a high-powered rifle and a lot of humility, and exercise the utmost restraint in the types of shots you're willing to take and the number of animals you kill.

Does anyone know of a good source of information on making spears?
