I want to try that some day...think of the challenge!!!! Home-made longbow? ha!
Not on a deer like that tho...others can (hey, somebody has to kill livestock guys) just not for me.

I want that kid to train me properly on how to stalk within 10 yards of deer, that is the amazing part. The method of the kill is questionable as far as my ethics, but I could accept others doing it if that was their desire. I wouldnt do it, but it cant be that much different than my longbow I suppose?

Whats the big deal anyway? I see nothing wrong with what the kid did, that was a heck of a shot or throw or whatever you want to call it! Thats how they did it years ago!

I dont see anything wrong with it. Nice shooting kid. Double lung with a spear, and it sounds like him and his grandpa were enjoying the outdoors together. Whats the problem????

There are trout ponds where you can take your kid fishing for a fee. Those fish are fed daily and will probably take food rightout ofyour hands. When that food is put on the end of a hook with a kid holding onto a pole, the fish still eat it just the same way. The kid is happy, the dad gets to see his kid happy, and the farmer makes some money.
I don't see anything different or wrong here. It even looks as though they took the time to dress and clean the carcass which suggests they will eat it.
Great shot kid!

I'm not so much bothered about the choice of weapon. It's pretty obvious the kid has practiced with it and it was very effective. However, that fact that they were "hunting" in an area where you can walk up to a deer with a 6 foot stick and it will be unalarmed until you jam that stick through its lungs. That kid knows how to use a weapon, but not hunt a deer.
Bottom line, canned hunts stink.[:'(]
