Pa. May Let Hunters Use Ancient Weapon

An ancient weapon that was apparently used as early as prehistoric times to slay woolly mammoths may soon be added to the arsenals of Pennsylvania hunters.

The state Game Commission is drafting proposed regulations to allow hunters to use the atlatl, a small wooden device that propels a six-foot dart as fast as 80 mph. The commission could vote in January and make a final decision in April, officials said.

It's not yet clear which animals would be hunted, but the proposal has the support of people who want to kill deer with the handmade weapon of Stone Age design.

"For me, it would be a thrill to have a deer get up close enough and to throw my dart and hit the deer, bag it like my ancestors did," said Jack Rowe, 45, a veteran hunter and atlatl enthusiast from Sayre.

In Alabama, one of a handful of states that allows atlatls for hunting or fishing, few hunters use them during deer season, said Allan Andress, chief fish and game enforcement officer for the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Even spear hunters — Alabama game law also allows spears — outnumber those using atlatls.

"As you might imagine, it's not something that most people have the skill or the patience for," Andress said.

oh, ok.

personally, while I certainly have no problem with hunting (especially deer, they are evil, serve no purpose and should be eliminated), I do respect people that hunt with bows more than guns. That shit is crazy awesome.

I gotta look into this atlatl thing; And hows about people hunting with spears?!? Fuck yeah!

Yeh, I hate when they infest your home and get into the food cupboards. Good thing we have a cat.

Actually one of the bastards ran in front of my car and mangled it up nicely.

Pretty much kills any allusions of animal rights.

Plus, venison is pretty good. I'd hunt the bastards myself but I've just got better things (read-anything) to do than sit in a deer stand in the freezing cold.

But if someone called me after they did the hard work and felled one, I'd most certainly come by and finish it off.

Fuck deer.
