Reply #16 - Nov 5^th, 2005 at 4:53pm Average rocks could take stuff out easily and I've heard of some people hunting deer with slings. I'm guessing they used larger stones, but if they can get the big rocks to hum when they leave the sling like my little rocks do, it seems more possible.

As long as you can get the rock out fast enough to either brain or stun the deer, you should be able to finish it off with either a spear or a knife. Personally, you wouldn't find me getting within 10 feet of a stunned deer, but if I thought I could kill it outright, a sling might do it. Your accuracy, though, would have to be nothing short of godly.

Yesterday I was hunting pidgeons, me slinging stones, my father with shotgun. We didn't get anything, we didn't even see any pidgeons, but wee saw six woodcocks (the dictionary's fault if the name's wrong Roll Eyes

), but you don't see them untill they suddently fly up 2 meters in front of you, and they're so fast, so you've got no chance taking them with sling.

Edit: A friend of me says they're called quails...

Sure, you can make a sling out of something as simple as a couple of shoelaces and a rectangle cut from an old pair of jeans, or the leather uppers from a shoe, preferably a leather one, like a boot. I used a couple of shoelaces and a rectangular cut of fabric from an old pair of curtains, for mine. I just cut the rectangle twice as long as I wanted it, folded it over, and superglued (okay, yes, I should have SEWN it, but I was in a hurry to make a sling) the end, punched a couple of holes in the end, put the shoelaces through, made a knot in one lace and a loop in the other, and put a tennis ball in the pouch and launched it. Worked just fine. Of course, it looked like crap, but it was enough to get me hooked.

When I was about six years old, I accidentally got seperated from my parents and our party on a group trip to antarctica. I survived three days in a blowing snowstorm by huddling in with a group of penguins, eating several of the smaller ones to keep me warm. I would then decorate myself in their skins to look like another penguin. And that, ladies and gents, is how I came about that info! Wink
