Hinkle noted that Jared Allen, defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings, is an avid spear hunter and has taken bear and elk with the weapon. His exploits have been featured in American Hunter magazine and are viewable on YouTube.

The world's self-proclaimed champion of the practice is Gene Morris, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, who claims to have hunted more than 500 big-game animals including bison, bear, lion and alligator.


I have a few friends who would love to do this. Me, I'd happily be the guy who stands by with the .30 caliber semiautomatic rifle while you hurl spears at Yogi.
