There has never been a terrestrial predator (to my knowledge) that evolved a strategy of hunting by means of impalement through the use of horns or similar devices. This begs the question, why not?? It would appear a simple enough means to hunt, if not a primary one, then why not as an aid to clawing, biting, etc.?

One potential problem is getting dinner off the impaling horn and into the mouth. -- Jeff Hecht
