Interesting show. I'm not so impressed personally. People around the globe have been using blowguns forever. Sure it would be exciting to do a close range stalk and shoot but other than that...heh.

Hey Stinky C...That crazy mofo isn't so crazy. He has a few feet between him and his quarry. I saw a video of a good sized bear with his head in a pail of bait by a tree... and while the bear's head is in the pail a guy steps out from behind the tree and sticks the bear in the heart with his knife. That's a crazy mofo.

Blowguns would be great for grouse. While I wouldn't encourage big game or predator hunting with them it is too bad they are a prohibited weapon in Canada.

Ya old Timmy is the man. Just watched a clip from two months ago where a spear goes into his thigh and almost takes him out.

oh he is that crazy, if you haven't seen him before, once you see all the stuff he's done you'll agree he's as crazy as they come

Or that show where he runs up to a large head down feeding grizzly between his guide and the bear and when the bear lifts his head he stops, draws, and shoots it through the eye hole and kills it stone dead at very close range. Beyond any help, his guide would not have been able to save him, he was over a 100 yards from his guide and cameraman by the time he stopped and shot that bear...maybe 15-20 yards from the bear. He's nuts alright...and also the best shot with a bow i've ever seen, a gifted natural for sure, his running shots on game are unreal, nevermind flying birds.

If he really did do that in Canada he committed a criminal offense. Blowguns are prohibited weapons in Canada. Right up there with throwing stars and Uzis.
