Probably because its "cruel," or something along those lines. It's alot more humane and quick than bow hunting, where the deer is likely to travel a long distance(for wounded deer) bleeding to death.

^This however, in spear hunting you also throw the spear and typically the animal runs off and you follow the blood trail. |

Spear hunting is illegal in most states due to the fact that the respective state wildlife departments would have a difficult time regulating it, as well as insuring that those applying for spear-hunting permits are qualified to do so. I imagine that there is a dearth of qualified spear-hunting instructors too.  |

You could get some ARMA guys to show the spear skills, and Indians to teach the tracking skills. See how simple that is  |

I seem to recall a story my wife and in-laws told me about a French cousin of theirs hunting boar with a spear. Perhaps it's legal in France?

Yes, I have many stories of spear hunting. They're not appropriate for the forum, though.
Cheeky. |

I was watching TOP-SHOT season 2 and they had Blow Darts in one of the events. Seems like a great way to do some small game hunting.
