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

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

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.
