Primitive Hunting and Weapon Making with Ryan Gill and A Texas Giant Centipede Gives My Better Half a Scare
Description
About once a year Erin agrees to go varmint hunting with me. That usually occurs at our annual Guns and Guitars event at Koon’s Canyon Ranch. This year, that outing took a turn for the worse when a venomous giant centipede crawled up her dress.
What ensued next was part frightening, part calamity. We discuss when my better half joins me in the studio.

We dive into the research and archeological impact of this hunt and the atlatl’s lethality. Also, spear hunting as a viable means to harvest a deer (you’d be surprised at how many states have regulations preventing this). Plus Ryan discusses his knapping technique that he uses to create all of his stone points for both spear and bowhunting.
