Spear chuckers in PA

[951hunter]

Could you imagine a spear chucker walking under your stand while your in it. I'll piss my pants if I ever see one. http://lewistownsentinel.com/News/articles.asp?articleID=636

I agree, I would crap my pants too the worstwould be to run into one of these people in the darkcarrying a spear, guess theres no point to that though!!!I posted about this a while ago, I would like to know what others think of this!! I don't see how it can be done or leathel but hey what do I know about these spears!!!

I think the whole thing is pathetic.

The indians used spears and they killed alot of pale faces. Seems lethal to me

[germain]

Well I hope none of them kill this pale face when he's sitting in a tree stand.

Probably a little harder to kill a deer with one then a Pale Face.

I have actually have thrown one of these and people who know how can throw them hard and accurate. But i think there is too much movement to hunt deer.

I think it is pretty cool. perhaps those doubting its effectiveness should watch somebody, who knows what they're doing, throw one. If hunters killed deer et al with it thousands of years ago, I'm sure there are those who could use it effectively today. I'd be much more nervous seeing a random orange "pumpkin"with a rifle coming then somebodywith a atlatl.

I think somebody reported that expert "spearchukers" were the reason for the Pennsylvania deer decline

I support them...

Can you imagine how hard it is to kill a deer with one? The movement would spook a deer in a nanosecond. That is hunting at it's zenith. Waiting for your quarry to look away for your chance at a kill at such close range is the ultimate hunting experience. I say let them have a go and God bless. I support any hunting activity.
