The use of different weapons and methods of hunting should be addressed and discussed by hunters. We should not support everything blindly. As the saying goes police yourself or someone else will. If spear and atl hunting can be shown to be humane, ethical and effective by those that take part in it I would fully support it. But it is up to that user group to defend it. Would you be up in arms if the ABA opposed hunting out of helicopters or using dogs to hunt deer? Groups are in place to promote ethics and conservation and sometimes hunting methods will be challenged.
