I'm so going to make an atlatl!

gigmaster:
I live in TN. If you check the Hunting regs, an atlatl is not listed on the Prohibited Weapons list. It also is not listed on the Legal Weapons list. It is a gray area. I was cited last year for taking a deer with one of my atlatls, and it was dismissed in court for that very reason.

Wiggy:
Wow, I was told by the conservation officer that if it isn't specifically listed as a legal weapon, then it would be illegal to hunt with. Like, air rifles are listed under legal weapons for small game, but air pistols or air shotguns would be illegal. But then again, they don't mention "in-line" muzzleloaders either, they say that's lumped in with "percussion cap" and is legal (even if it used electronic ignition)... I'm fairly new to this state but the regs seem very confusing. Seems to be up to the officer whether or not a weapon is legal or illegal.

Glad it worked out for you though! That's the first atlatl success story I've heard on whitetails.

You can use it for hunting certain animals already allowed to be hunted with a spear, I think you can hunt hogs but I am not certain.

We need bumper stickers that say:

When Atlatls Are Outlawed
Only Outlaws Will Have Atlatls
