RE: Bowhunters' double standard?
SA, you can remove your head at any time from the nether regions of your posterior, especially on items you know nothing about.
1. Spears are legal in Alabama in primitive weapon and general hunting seasons in Alabama, not in archery season.
2. Why would I fight to have a weapon removed from seasons that they belong in? I do not now, nor have I ever proposed to have crossbows removed from archery season here in Georgia.
3. I do not reside, nor hunt in Alabama. It would be very presumptios of a non resident that does not hunt in a state to make any efforts to change the laws in that state.
Yes, spears are legal for deer and all big game in 'Bama. There is even a legal definition of a legal spear over there, and if anyone shoudl want they can retrieve it for themselves from the Alabam DNR website, something about hand thrown, certain sixed point, not sure all of the rest, but it is fairly specific.
