Sure . .did you see Sly in First Blood ! Jumped out of a tree with one and got himself a hog. I'm too old for that but I'm all for an extended "spear season" for deer.

RE: big game with a spear?
we hunted hogs with knives and pit bulls in south georgia for years, I took a cold steel "boar spear" with me once and I found it tough to carry through the woods and swamps due to thier length. Didn't get anything with it. After that my buddy at work bought the spear off of me.
I imagin that hunting over bait from a treestand would be the most effective way to hunt with one.
Or just learn to use an atlatl.
If you go to accuratereloading.com they have a spear hunting forum.

I would love to try that. Man what a rush that would be going after bear with a spear. Over bait or not if u can get that close to a bear and keep your pants clean than you are probly gutsyer than i am. Im gunna have to try that someday.
Whare do i get information on how to do it?

Try a search on atlatls. Not exactly the classic spear, more like a long arrow but it is much more effective.
Try www.thunderbirdatlatl.com and www.atlatl.com
And accuratereloading.com has a spear hunting forum.

i actually considered this this year, when i had 20 plus deer under my stand daily for weeks. 4J in NY is infested. But, a spear is illegal in NY, says it right in the reg. book.
so no go.
