Way to go Tanner!! I know how much effort went into your first spear harvest.
Thanks bud. Hunting is not life or death for me, but it is for my prey. Therefore the least a hunter can do is take all measures to ensure a quick, relatively painless kill. This responsibilty is magnified when I choose to take a less lethal weapon such as a spear or a bow to add to the challenge aka my enjoyment. I owe it to the animal to do everything possible to be extremely proficient with that weapon. As you get into less and less technologically advanced weapons a dilemma of fairness to the animal vs lethality is created. A bow or spear allows much greater chance of escape and challenge to the hunter than a high powered rifle but also provides greater odds of a non lethal hit. This is where that responsibility of extreme proficiency comes in. It leaves me thinking had I just worked a little harder/practiced a little more maybe I’d have made a better throw.
I was only there about 2 hours. Mosquitos are always bad lol
