     Bowhunter, Influence on the Sport


A rt Young's friendship with Dr. Saxton Pope through their mutual feelings for Ishi begin in the early 1900's.

The three men spent much time hunting together in northern California and learned much from one another.  Pope and Young also hunted later throughout Yellowstone collecting grizzlies for the San Francisco Museum.

The largest bowhunting organization, founded in 1961 by Glenn St. Charles is named after both bowhunters and is known worldwide as the Pope & Young Club.
