Saxton Pope: Icons of Traditional Bowhunting Vol. 2 with guest Gene Hopkins
In this episode, we sit down once again with bowhunting historian Gene Hopkins for the second installment of Icons of Traditional Bowhunting. Gene and Matthew explore the importance of preserving bowhunting heritage by documenting the stories of legendary figures like Saxton Pope, Ishi, Art Young, and Will Compton.
Many of our traditional bowhunting forefathers left little written record of their adventures or their advocacy for the sport. Gene’s tireless research helps ensure that their contributions aren’t forgotten, giving today’s community a clearer sense of where we came from and the challenges that remain in safeguarding our right to hunt with a stick and string.
If you value the roots of traditional bowhunting, this conversation will deepen your appreciation for the history—and inspire you to carry the torch forward.
