Bullwhip - Use As Hunting Weapon

Use As Hunting Weapon

Simon Tookoome, a Canadian Inuit and expert bullwhip handler, was known to have used one to hunt ptarmigans, caribou, and to kill a wolf:

"Tookoome took the advice to heart and began hunting bigger animals with the whip, even after his family acquired a rifle and a snowmobile. He took down several caribou, and once even used it to kill a wolf that he had shot and injured. He kept the whip with him because operating a rifle was too expensive."

Famous quotes containing the words hunting and/or weapon:

    “The man that once did sell the lion’s skin
    While the beast lived, was killed with hunting him.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughts—not to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
