Few people will argue that Glenn St. Charles
is one of the few "Great Ones" left. He was born in 1911 and
started bowhunting in 1926 - before bowhunting was even considered a
hunting method. He founded the Pope and Young Club for reasons that
may surprise you. He spent many campfires alongside some of the greatest
bowhunters of all time, including his good friend, Fred Bear. And he
lived through an era that many people only dream of now. Listen to Glenn,
in his own words, as he shares his stories, views and insight after
a lifetime of hunting with the bow and arrow.
Note: this interview is a multimedia format so you can listen
to the delightful stories and insight as only Glenn can tell
them. It requires a Windows
