hunting spear

Thrown for game

A hunting spear is a weapon designed for killing game, typically featuring a long wooden shaft with a sharpened point or metal blade.

Unlike war spears, hunting spears are often heavier and built for thrusting rather than throwing, allowing hunters to deliver lethal force to large animals at close range: He brought down the boar with a hunting spear.
