I do have a friend in the USA who hunts with bow, crossbow, knife and spear, but only when he needs to, and not always successful.

Please enlighten me with what does he hunt using a knife and spear?

 

A knife I can understand the need to use in order to field dress and clean an animal, but that's not really considered 'hunting' with it, is it?

 

......and a spear?

I've never seen him hunt, so no clear idea. I did see him throw a knife at considerable distances an hit bullseye.

No idea how close experienced hunters can get to prey. Maybe, as you say, it was mentioned as part of the tools, but not the main hunting weapon.

 

The spear, yes. I also wondered about it at the time. Some kind of modified native American thing. More like a javelin, perhaps? I call it a spear because I don't know if there's a specific terminology for that in relation to hunting. Me experience with such stuff is strictly gaming...

Australia has sold camels to Arab countries. Apparently, they have better, purer breeding closer to the original.

But, for some very odd reason, the Arabs only want the prettier female camels with hanging lips (for "riding"?).  Gorgeous creatures.

I'm not a hunter and don't condone the practices I describe.

On YouTube I've seen brave hunters kill bear by baiting, then throwing a spear into them from a hidden blind in a tree above.

Others kill pigs after their dog pack keep the animal immobile for them to slaughter it with a knife. (I do support humane culling of feral pigs where they have bred up in huge numbers)

A dictionary definition of a backyard:

(the immediate surroundings or locality of a person, organization, country, etc)

 

Pedant:

(someone giving too much attention to formal rules or small details:)
