No doubt I couldn't do worth a flip in the high country. I'm so crippled up, I have a hard time in the flatlands. But even as screwed up as I am,I can still stalk within 15 yards of a particular buck in a group of 8 deer and not get busted. Non-grain fed deer, by the way.

I'm sorry you've got such a narrow opinion of traditional equipment, especially since that opinion is based on a completely false premise. That's why I challenged you on it. At least I can come away from this little spat knowing that I am not the one who is trying to say another legal form of hunting equipment shouldn't be allowed.

By the way, you asked about spears... Yeah, I think if they're legal, then they should be used. By folks who aren't afraid of taking the challenge. Who aren't afraid of learning those hard lessons. Who aren't afraid to go home empty handed at the end of the day because the animal won the game that day.

I guess it'd be kinda hard to mount a 3rd axis sight on a spear though, wouldn't it. [8D]

Cold Steel makes a few very nice spears suitable for hunting. For stickin' them up close and personal, or for throwing. I've got a hankering to buy the Boar Spear. www.coldsteel.com
