 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Because hogs aren't considered game animals on private property, atlatls may be used to take wild hogs. Atlatls may not be used on wildlife management areas.

Is it legal within the state ? It would be used for hog control !
 


Thought the Florida guys would want to see it !

The best place to buy an atlatl is Thunderbird Atlatls : I had to remove the link since it violates Primitive Archer rules. Justin
I also make atlatls. Here are a few of mine.
