>> I've gotten a little interested in the way the Inuit hunt from a kayak -- spears, and that. I keep thinking about building a replica Inuit spear and trying it out. Now, an Inuit hunter would probably want to go out hunting seals, but seals are an endangered species around southern Michigan, the last one in these parts having been seen about the time the glaciers receded. However, one of the local lakes have some carp that approach seal size . . . hmmmmmmm. Does anyone actually know anything about making or using an Inuit spear? -- Wes >> Franz Boas' _The Central Eskimo_ has a number of drawings of Inuit implements. Also see John Brand's _Little Kayak Book_, which is available from John Winters.
