Review: Praise for a fantastic book - In 1914, 49 year old Ishi, the last of the Yani tribe walked out of the woods near Oroville, California. Ishi was the last of his people and he was the last "Wild Indian" in America. Anthropologists throughout America wanted to learn as much as they could from this wild man and he was soon living and working (as a janitor) at the University of California, Berkeley. Having no immunities to most disease that we are used to, he spent much time in a nearby hospital where Saxton Pope was a teacher. Anyone who has ever learned of the hardships of Ishi's life can't help but remember this fascinating historical figure. This book however, is not about Ishi although his teachings and skill are an important part of what you will read. This book is about what the title says "Hunting with the bow and arrow". Saxton Pope learned to use a bow from Ishi and carried the love of bow hunting for the rest of his life. This book covers everything from making your first bow to killing your first Grizzly in a pleasant and easy to read style that keeps you reading and wanting more. You can and will learn secrets that you would have never thought of , secrets that before Ishi, had been so completely forgotten that Dr. Pope had to reintroduce the techniques to other Native American Tribes. I am not a hunter, I have never used a bow but I have a great love of the outdoors and I loved every moment of this book. I feel like I have learned enough to supply food for myself and my family if the need arises. Along with the wealth of information I gained by reading Hunting with the bow and arrow, I feel that I have also stood witness to a wonderful adventure and lived through the excitement of the hunt. Even though, once again, there are no diagrams or photos with the Kindle edition, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow will never be removed from my Kindle. Review: The greatest hunting book ever written. - This book is a grand adventure, the history of the last Native American in the wild, and the beginning of modern bow hunting. I read this book decades ago as a young man and it inspired me like few others. Today is August 2025 and it's impossible to fathom a professor and doctor in San Francisco being the founder of modern bow hunting. But it's true. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,446,475 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #45 in Archery (Books) #334 in Hunting #8,265 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 140 Reviews | ## Images ![Hunting With the Bow and Arrow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D+2g0-gzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Praise for a fantastic book *by K***T on April 21, 2012* In 1914, 49 year old Ishi, the last of the Yani tribe walked out of the woods near Oroville, California.

I read this book decades ago as a young man and it inspired me like few others. Today is August 2025 and it's impossible to fathom a professor and doctor in San Francisco being the founder of modern bow hunting. But it's true. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This wonderful classic will delight, enthrall, and educate you --- all at the same time. *by O***L on March 28, 2013* This is a classic, written many years ago by one of the two legendary bowhunting icons who later became the inspiration for the founding of the Pope & Young Club. The amazing hunting adventures of Saxton Pope and Art Young will entertain and delight. The book will also acquaint the reader with their befriending and civilizing of Ishi, the last 20th-century native American Indian to emerge from the wild and come into contact with the White Man. Among many other things, the book is a fascinating historical work, written by a cultural anthropologist --- and a great outdoorsman, to boot! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1112236-hunting-with-the-bow-and-arrow](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1112236-hunting-with-the-bow-and-arrow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
