is it legal to hunt with an atlatl?
gene roberts:
I am pretty sure that here in Alabama you can use them for big game.
ballista:
yeah in illinois i know theres no projectiles allowed, at least in my town, but barney, the local cop, has played airsoft with us before ;D for big game, im not real sure, but i would assume its legal for like rabbit, carp, ect. and i'd bet money that the restrictions would get easier as you go more south, because you're allowed to hunt with flintknapped heads in the carolinas. -jimmy

You can hunt with an Atlatal in Alaska. Big and small game.
Up here, if you can hunt it with a rifle, you can use a spear, atlatal, etc.
A guy up here has killed black bears with a spear.
longfletch:
in the thudscave list, it says NC cannot hunt or fish with an atlatl ...but i know you can spear flounder, stingray, and i think sharks. so if you just say your spearfishing its probably legal, maybe the word "atlatl" is just a spooky word that alot of people dont understand, so they say it cant be legal ;D

My son has made a couple of atlatles, and he can throw them pretty far. I tried his and both the atlatl and dart ended up on the ground about a yard in front me.
At Pinson Mounds State Park south of Jackson TN., the guides put on atlatl demonstrations. I was able to throw theirs pretty well.
