To Spear Or Harpoon
I would like to talk about the difference between spears and harpoons and this is shaped mostly as a message or warning so you don’t get injured in the future.
The misconception lies in the fact that many people believe the two weapons are interchangeable they are however not. Spears can only harm land animals and harpoon at only those of the sea.
So for example, throw a spear at a whale, and nothing happens, it bounces right off. Or if you harpoon a bear, even it it sticks in his body it wont hurt, he will look at the harpoon and laugh at you saying “this doesn’t affect me”.
There is still another problem what about hybrid animals, say a seal on the beach, or crabs. Well, it comes down where are they at the moment, the water or on land.
And I think I can tie this all together quick will with this example, if you see a crocodile walking along the road, without a question you would spear it, but if it was in the water and you were hunting it by boat it’s clear that a harpoon would be the only thing to kill it with.
