Turkey Hunting with an atlatl

Was just reading an article about BLM archeologists at a National Turkey Hunting day demonstrating the use of atlatls to hunt turkey. Someone commented "I would go hungry if I had to hunt turkeys that way".

My immediate thought was that it would probably be easier to hunt turkeys with a throwing stick, a bola, or something involving snares. So unless you find an arrowhead (or "dart point") with turkey blood on it, then I would give up on that idea. Why not kick that up a notch and demand a fossil turkey with an arrowhead lodged in its vertebrae!
