Rare Footage - A Classic Alaskan Bow Hunt from the 1960's

This is what bow hunting was like 50 years ago. Jim Dougherty takes us to Alaska for some awesome Caribou Hunting.

I love these old-school videos! They don't promote products every 3 minutes and play rock music in the intro. I'm a hunter and this video is great.

By far Jim was my favourite archer hands down the best ...

[@timfarris8783]

I started watching Jim's vidios when I was a teen now Im 56 I sure miss him daurety he was an still is the best bow hunter to draw a string back

I'm the same age, and I had several books featuring Dougherty, and he used Pearson bows, just like I did. Related to him much more than I did with Fred Bear.

Great video, would love to see more videos like this

I had the bow quiver quiver in this video back in the 70's. Also had a solid fiberglass Ben Pearson recuve which got warped in a hot car. I still have it but is is twisted backwards.

Run it under hot water and gently twist and coax it in the opposite direction. Takes time, but it works.

@@rampantcolt1684 Wow thanks. I may try that. I received as a gift when I was in grade school, but at 45 pounds, it was way to stiff for several years to draw back.

Bow hunting has changed those old timers could take an animal at over 50 yards with a recurve you won’t find but a small handful of hunters that would attempt that today

a real archery hunt!

[@bwfreel]

I like how people used to dress for travel, suit coat and tie for the guys. Fred bear films showed the same thing , people cared more about their appearance back then

[@tonycasagrande4103]

65 yards with a recurve instinctive wow.

[@jamescooper2618]

I'm old and never saw this in school.

I used to shop at Doughertys archery shop in Tulsa, OK

Very Impressive, excellent adventure, however the music is very distracting, too modern, too degenerate, sounds like hippie music!
