"The real archer when he goes afield enters a land of subtle delight. The dew glistens on the leaves, the thrush sings in the bush, the soft wind blows, and all nature welcomes him as she has the hunter since the world began. With the bow in his hand, his arrows softly rustling in the quiver, a horn at his back, and a hound at his heels, what more can a man want in life?" This classic original printed in 1922, Hunting with the Bow & Arrow tells the tale of the author and his friends who took up hunting deer with the bow and arrow and went on to harvest Cougar, Black Bear, Dall Sheep, Moose, Grizzly Bear, and Kodiak Bear with their basic handmade wooden bows and arrows. Dr. Pope takes the reader through some of the historical uses of the bow in hunting, to the practice of making a bow, shooting the bow, and general info on archery and its equipment. Specific chapters detail the hunting of the raccoon, wildcat, fox, wolf, deer, bear, and mountain lion. This is the book that directly and indirectly inspired the thousands and now millions of sportsmen to take up hunting with the bow and arrow. It is regarded as the bible of modern bowhunting.
