I know the guy in Summerdale harvested all types of game with a spear, but I wasn't sure if he harvested a whitetail in Alabama. I was just curious if it has been acomplished.

Just what are the odds of A deer walking straight under your stand so you can drop the spear?? And the hard, fast arm movement to launch a spear sends every deer within 50 yards into a flight frenzy.

It's a small drainage in the middle of some 10 year old cuttover that was never replanted. I assume the drainage was wet at the time and they couldn't get the equipment in there. It's dry now and there about about 10 pin oaks. I put a lockon in one of the pin oaks so I'm going to give it a shot the next couple days if I can get the wind right.

He did it from the ground. Said that he was behind a big rock right on a trail. Heard him coming and got ready and stuck him as soon as he saw him. The guy said that he would go to great extremes to control scent, including not eating meat for 2-3 days before hunting. I don't know if that helped but I was impressed with his success. "Make a difference, take a kid hunting".
