Peter LaGana was notorious for bagging small game in Pennsylvania with his thrown Vietnam Tomahawk.....as well as caping the game with his Hawk as well....there will be some photos of this in the LaGana Virtual Museum.
He used a sidearm motion so the Hawk would "skim" the earth at high speed.
I have not hunted with a Hawk, but have with Throwing Knives in 1994....Boar. Tony Cascarella did it in the early 70's with knives, and Tom Rose of Florida has bagged Whitetail as well as Boar with his knives within the past two years. The late Skeeter Vaughan, one of the best Hawk throwers that ever lived, also bagged lots of small game and some Whitetail with a thrown Hawk.
Our Forumite-brother, Brian Jones, plans on pursuing some game with his ATC Hawk as well....
Hawk Hunting is certainly challenging and in most cases, requires more than one Hawk to throw. While there is no season for it, some game preserves allow it if informed in advance.
Anyone game
for a contest? Pictures from a successful Hawk Hunt would earn a surprise from the ATC!!! If there are enough participants, I think a formal contest and prize would be in order. Game and hunting permission would have to be documented and obtained legally...please don't show us a pic of a ground hog you whacked in your backyard as a result of this post!
Let's hear your thoughts....
