kdub:
 Would yall advocate the thought of atlatl hunting ever being allowed for game animals, ie whitetails , where you live, either during the archery only season, or during the general season?  I was reading over a debate about crossbows on another forum and people were arguing that they are to much like a rifle...bla bla bla, so it got me thinkin what if the scenario went in the opposite direction and got more primitive?

Pat B:
I believe that there are states that allow atlatl hunting for big game(deer at least). I have no problem with an atlatl being allowed as a hunting weapon...but I don't know if the hunting public in general is responsible enough to use them effectively.

kdub:
I don't think that the public in gneral would want to.  Its to hard and peple like things easy today.  I think it would be cool to be able to hunt deer with an atlatl, or a spear even.  I also can see how placed in the wrong hands, such a weapon could cause alot of suffering, but then again so can a 270.

Hillbilly:
I'd love to try deer or hog hunting with an atlatl. They are effective weapons in the right hands. I think Alabama is the only state that allows general big game hunting with them now.

kdub:
here in TX you could use an atlatl on hogs, you can kill hogs however you want.
