Ice Age hunters didn't use copper spear points. The last ice age ended roughly 12,500 years ago. The Chalcolithic Period (when copper first came into use) spans the period between 4000 and 6000 BCE. In fact, a realistic date for the first use of smelted copper is 4300 BCE. Ice Age hunters were from the Paleolithic Age. The word means "Old Stone." They exclusively used bone, antler and especially stone spear ponts.

Why do you think hunters with spear-throwers could hunt large animals?
Hunters with spear-throwers, or atlatls, could effectively hunt large animals due to the increased force and distance they could achieve when launching spears. The mechanical advantage provided by the atlatl allows for greater leverage, enabling hunters to strike larger prey from a safer distance. This technology likely improved accuracy and penetration of the spear, making it easier to take down larger and more dangerous animals. Additionally, the ability to throw spears with more power would have enhanced the hunters' chances of a successful hunt.
