Maybe Jim Dougherty.
-
That is what I thought right away also. I maybe wrong but I think I have seen that somewhere before, a long time ago.
-
I'll second what Kip said!

That is artwork depicting "Jim Dougherty!"

Probably a lot of younger guys haven't heard of Jim Dougherty, but us graybeards remember him from his writings in the 60s and 70s. And yes, that looks like him.
-
:clapper: yes. I was worried no one would recognize him. I have been working on this painting for a month. It's my version of his Trails End story from November 2001 titled Fred's Bow. He' s one of my favorite writers, and a great asset to the bowhunting community.
-
Yep, the hat & recurve were dead giveaways.
Nice work!
-
I am color blind but it looks like you even got his signature grey aluminum arrow shaft. I remember shooting them before I went to all wood arrows.
-
I don't know him but I sure do like your art work.
-
Great job! Impressive work.
Centaur, you're right - no clue who Jim Dougherty is. I figured I'd leave this question to the older gentleman here to figure out :D
-
I remember him! Nice painting.
-
What tipped me off was that he is a lefty.
-
And the hat reddoge
-
great piece, I like it. Had me thinking of Thomas Aquinas Daly a bit.
BTW I have only been shooting trad for 15 years (wow, that went by fast!) and I recognize the name and a few writings of Mr. Dougherty. Didn't Easton run a signature line of birch bark looking aluminums for a few years before the SuperSlam line?
-
Cool painting......I remember reading stories about him hunting on Catalina Island for feral sheep and goats.......good stuff back in the day! I guess I may be dating myself......lol!
-
He was my idol when I first started bowhunting in 1969. Read every magazine that featured Jim. Had the privilege of bowhunting Antelope with Jim in 1981 for a week. Super guy....

Does anyone know how he's doing these days? The most current thing I could find was over a year ago, and he was battling four different cancers.
-
It was the hat and the vest that gave it away for me. Loved his articles in the 70s. They're what lead me in this direction!!
-
Don't remember him as being left handed, but that's just me. He just about had an article in every bow-hunting magazine you would pick up. :thumbsup:
-
Yeah he's a lefty, that's how he got to use Freds' bow at Grouse Haven. Just saw his display at the archery museum at Bass Pro, on another post.
-
You are a talented artist! My grandfather was a commercial artist for the courier journal in Louisville Kentucky. I never got the art gene!
-
Thats a great painting.
-
Sweet painting!
-
I am from Canada and did not get serious about bowhunting until the 90's, did not get my first recurve until 2009, and I said right away it was Jim Dougherty

Beautiful painting. I'm another that remembers Jim's writing's from the 70's. If I remember correctly he was pictured on a Archery Digest with a Ben Pearson marauder bow. And had a article on gluing razor blades to a 2 blade broadhead. Cutting technology at the time!
-
I remember the gluing razor blades article. Never tried it though.
-
Wow I was right!!!
-
I still buy Bowhunting just to read Jim Dougherty's Trails End segment. His writing is pretty meloncholy these days and I hope he is doing alright. A lot of trad archers won't know of him because he embraced compound bows and chose that bowhunting path. He is among the last of the old guard and most would enjoy his work even with the difference in equipment.
-
I met him in his archery shop in the early 90's in OK. Really nice guy!
-
I recognized him right away. Nice job.
-
Thanks all! Trying to figure out who to do next...had thought of doing one of St. Charles, but Jack Paluh did one of him.
-
Talked with Jim a couple of hours about a year ago,seemed to be doing pretty good then.Great person.

Followed Jims articles for many years. Probably second in my all time favorites, next to Fred. A very nice tribute to him.
-
Good to hear he's doing good. Didn't realize he was still writing the trails end column.
-
Very nice art work.
-
How about this photo of Glenn St Charles...

Had thought of that one, but with a mountain goat up above he's stalking.
-
I said Jim Dougherty as soon as I saw the picture. Someone I followed closely in my younger days. Unfortunately you don't hear much about him now. :thumbsup:

Good stuff......thanks
