Alabama used to have a spear season and regulations for it. Then the dude who petitioned for it died and they quit publishing regs for it since he was apparently the only guy in Alabama doing it.
Starved to death I assume?
Lol. He was pretty successful. If you ever swing by the Gulf Shores area his family bought a building and turned it into a spear hunting museum. I get the idea the dude was a bit eccentric.
All I remember was it was basically legal to spear hunt during archery season with a spear that had (i believe) a 2" wide or wider cutting diameter.

592 big game animals laid low by one dude with a pointy stick. I've never been to the museum because I hate the tourist trap cesspool that is south Baldwin County but I've always enjoyed reading about Gene or watching him on the local TV now and then

But does it meet the Ashby's seal of approval?
I mean, I'm sure its over 600 grains, the heaviest arrow possible and has extreme structural integrity on the head. Lol.
Check out the slock master, TIM MOTHER EFFFIN WELLS!
Boy you don't think I'm already a member of the church of slock??
Why am I not surprised my good man!?
Josh Bowmar also did some spear hunting. Albiet with an unbelievably high level of doucheossity. I think that's how he and his wife lost their sponsorship with under armour.

I would love too but illegal as it isn't defined in our regulations as a legal implement to use. Does you state allow it? Ours specifically spells out what type of "legal hunting implement" to use.
Like for deer? I've personally never seen it done here. However, I HAVE for pigs. Its good clean fun. Well. Its fun.
Oh yea, there's people killin deer every year here
