Pope and Young Museum with PICS

[Sant-Ravenhill]

Thanks...20 years ago I got to see some of these items in Seattle at Glen St. Charles archery shop. It was just amazing to see bows used by Pope, Young and others.

I was there for a NABC meeting representing TBOF several years ago.  It is a great museum.

Except for the photos posted by Gregg Dudley, I was unable to pull up any of the other photos.  However the ones I could see were great.

It's in Chatfield,MN right off hwy 30 and 52. About 20 miles SE of Rochester. I'm right up the road and have had the privelage of serving on the Museum committee for a few years. I've done a few of the mounts like the Buffalo, the dead bear in the one picture you showed, WR Woodland Caribou and Coues deer to name some. It's great history for every bowhunter to see.

When the museum was at NWA, as I roamed around looking at all the cool archery items, I knew then and there I found a hobby that would replace alcohol. I always loved walking around swap meet with Glenn looking for archery stuff. Nearly ten yrs sober I always think of Glenn and his adventures and contributions to archery. I have several things from Glenn and loved bringing salmon to him. I sure miss his storys and one day would love to go to new Pope and Young museum.. One item I got from the St Charles family was Fred and Glenns last get together in Florida in 1988...Hearing there voice and compassion they had for one another.. Its a old VHS tape that says a Conversation with Glenn and Fred.. Its one of those old videos that never can watch enough.. Thanks for pics and post Gents..
Best wishes and cant wait for more pics for old time sake..Thanks again....Warberg

Could you tell us about that case with the bear skulls, please? Is one of those skulls the world record skull that Jay St. Charles brought back from Alaska?

As I remember the story, Jay got the skull from the guy who killed the bear with a Damon Howatt bow. I think the guy was the owner of the hardware store where Glenn and Fred and the guys would buy their licenses when they went up to hunt the Little Delta area. I may have that mixed up but that's how I remember it. I was told that Glenn had the skull at NWA but I don't know for sure. Any info would be appreciated.

THANK YOU for posting these photos and commentary. This is a great thread.

I don't beleive any of those skulls were ever in Seattle but the old world record Polar bear skull was brought to the museum by Jay. Right off the top of my head there's a black bear skull from Dave Cordes, Dennis Dunn's world record brown, a grizzly, and the polar. That's without looking, I'll try to remember to look next time down there.

Thanks!

I hope I can visit that museum some day. All of us owe a debt of gratitude to Glenn St. Charles for his lifelong devotion to archery, its lore and its history.
