Its all about how convincing you can be. And, lets be honest, they're Park Rangers not Sherlock Holmes.

I mean, I legit trust that Sliver legitimately isn't acquiring spears to hunt bears. I don't think he's intentionally attempting a grey area or planning to chase bears like kids chasing an ice cream truck. I think he just wants a hefty option in case his bear antics backfire on him, like the time he blew an airhorn into the ear of a scam caller to get the guy to fata off and got more calls instead.
That's why I suggested a Makila a few pages back. I saw reference to one in a museum in Spain and thought it was basically what Sliver was looking for while also being convincing it's mostly walking stick with that minor change he needs a weapon for defense. I just had no idea they were so expensive and basically part of a UNESCO program.
Basically if Sliver could pretend he had a slightly fancy walking stick that also hid an effective spear, maybe it gets overlooked, maybe a conservation officer is willing to believe it is a walking stick and the spear part is coincidental...
The one he's going to get though gives me more images of a guy who might be more likely to hop on a rascal and chase bison off a cliff or joust than a dude with an unwieldly walking stick.
