Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska For YOUR Viewing Pleasure 1926 ALASKA Hunt

1926 Art Young (Of Pope & Young) They were both in their early 40's y/o.

So, if you think you're a badass Alaskan hunter watch this: (No Sound).

One of the first books I read back in the early 70’s about bowhunting was the adventures of Pope & Young. They were true pioneers.

Cool video, thanks for posting. I like the moose hide canoe. That thing looked pretty stable and buoyant.

Thanks for posting! Great adventure. Seconds on the moose hide canoe. Killed a bull this past fall in Northern Manitoba...no doubt that hide is thick enough to do the job.

Very Cool!

thats a cool vid. Wife and I will watch it all later on

That video just blows me away. That was 97 years ago. about 48 years after the
American civil war. They were not 26 y/o they were in their early 40's.

Neat video, refreshing to watch a hunting video without someone wearing Mossy Oak or Realtree.

Thanks for sharing!

That was awesome, I had never seen it. They were rugged men. Never been to Alaska except the airport but the numbers of Salmon is astonishing. I will have to read the book. Great movie, Thank You for posting it.

I enjoyed the video. Looks like their dog enjoyed the trip, too.

The caption said they carried no weapons but a bow, but in a couple of shots you can see one of the men has a holstered sixgun on his side. I'd be having a good rifle along, also.

Thanks for the video.
