I think boomerang hunters mainly snuck up on farmers, knocked them out with the boomerang and stole their livestock that's the only effective hunting I could imagine with a boomerang
It’s a cool thought, but it has bone-breaking force, they used it to hunt creatures like in this video.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BtsGsF-50uo.htmlsi=Ahwk7ok-DgLp4H1v
Those boomerangs climb and stall too soon. Make some with more of a bend and off set the bend a bit from the center to make it wobble side to side. The wobbling will confuse the prey as to which way to go to dodge it. Birds see color good too so I would paint some green and yellow for the parrots and some grey, black and white for the pigeons so they don't notice it inbound until it's too late. I used to make my own out of hickory planks when I lived in Texas to take out grackles with when they were swarming fields. I could hit two or 3 with one throw of my wobbling ones that I painted black and if I missed there was a good chance it would come back to me sometimes coming back through the flock for another try depending on the wind so I didn't have to chase it as far.
I saw something similar in Australia. The boomerang would suddenly break upwards. If it missed, it would carry back towards the thrower. The way the guy explained was that the straight flying boomerang would be thrown towards and above the flock causing it to change directions and slow a bit. The 'returning' boomerangs are then thrown just under as they would suddenly break upwards.
*Tim Wells Bow Hunter* Yeah, so good-ol Boomerang Buck better trade in for something else, lolooo. Thanks fellas for taking the time to bring us along. God Bless.
He walks just like my grandma going into the local grocery. Same aged flat a$% as well. No lie I just had flashbacks of my dead grandmother. :10 and forward I'm dying! Haha
You'd be surprised back when it was the most valuable skill a man could have to accurately throw spears at large game and rabbit sticks at small game just how good people can be at things.
It is a bit unnerving to watch the parakeets perish, considering i own one. But i understand they are a nuisance and a pest, this will help the ecosystem to thrive. very entertaining!
We've all seen Tim and Buck make shots that seemed impossible. We've also seen them shoot into a field with more animals than ground and miss everything. There's a good lesson in there...
I've seen a boomerang kill before. Not into a flock of birds but a single static rabbit. I honestly thought it'd just stun it but dead as a doornail. The man was in his 70s. And had been hand tuning these boomerangs all his life Looked more like an l shape rather than the wide v shape cold steel has. Gorgeous hardwoods laminated together. One throw could go 400 yards.
parakeets here in the south of brasil are also extremely common you can find huge flocks even in cities. Of course not close to that size but you can find groups of 10-20 birds if you’re lucky
@ Tim Wells Bow hunter . Is there any chance of you hunting a polar bear in the future?that seems like it would be a great hunting trip an overall cool experience to see you have ❤.
Didn't the Australian natives hunt Kangaroo with boomerangs? Probably be able to hunt rabbits with them all day long. Basically is a rabbit stick anyway. Birds on the wing just have to good of reflexes ..unless Tim's shooting at them with a bow that is lol. Yeah Buck would fit right in with our ancestors 😆.
Hi Tim, Noongar/Ngadju man here from Australia here, please can you ask Buck to join this thread do I can share my knowledge with him for successful hunting the 'Kerl - Karli' thank you
Boomerang: noun a bent or curved piece of tough wood used by Australian Aboriginal peoples as a throwing club, one form of which can be thrown so as to return to the thrower. Don't think I saw one return to Buck.
What do you call a boomerang that does not come back when you throw it......? : A Stick Seem Buck was throwing sticks.... none flew like a boomerang .... ;)
Buck throws a stick pretty good! Maybe he should try a boomerang. And NOT ORANGE! a DULLcolor. And MAYBE... don't throw the stick into them or in front of them, but throw it PROPERLY AS CLOSE to the same direction as they were flying. Thrown properly it will skim along the ground, then rocket upwards surprising them. I think birds USUALLY get attacked from Above while in flight. Jmho.
Hey Tim love the Arial bow shooting of bird. What's it run to go to Argentina and hunt? Keep up the awesome work on the video's and love everyone of them. Stay safe and save some for the rest of us.
Why not just throw some rocks because, just like your boomerangs, they don't come back either. Weigh a lot less, too. Stupid is as stupid does. I learnt that in some movie or other.
Tim, what I really want to know is how many cows did you slock? Come on, tell the truth man, and were they good eating? Thanks for another great video!
Those boomerangs appear to be pretty heavy, and I'm certainly not trying to be overly critical because I love you guys and all of the great content, but if you learned how to properly throw that boomerang overhanded, you'd be a lot more successful, and....it would come back to you when you missed !!!
