Use a rifle. It’s not morally good to make an animal suffer. We are not living in ancient Rome and reveling in games of death in the arena.
I’m with you on this one. I hunted for many years, always chose the weapon designed to quickly and certainly kill the game. I tried to honor the sporting rules, or at least my understanding of them. Spears and such seem contrived. Don’t know why anybody would ever choose such a weapon unless forced to do so. I mean, why not bash ‘em over the head with a rock if you want to go full caveman? Rifles yes, spears no.
