That is cool right there. Thanks for sharing this. Some day before I get too old I want to do an Alaska adventure with my bow.

Nice, thanks for sharing that.

I am waiting out your storm as well. I "was" heading up to Bighorn to hunt whitetails.

Wow, great old video, thanks for posting.

A couple things on it. The upper part of the Youkon (Yukon) River that they showed on the map, is actually the Tanana River, a very large tributary of the Yukon. There is a glacial river that is tributary to the Upper Tanana River, the Robertson River. My remembrance is that the Robertson River was named after a guy that was part of a US military expedition that mapped & traversed the Upper Tanana early in the last century. Can't remember the guys full name i.e. if Young was with the Robertson that was on the first official expedition, or if a different Robertson. I'm not a Young historian but I've been on the Yukon, Tanana, and Robertson a fair bit and have some history of the area.

Chinook,
As cheechacos in the summer of 2011, we were highly impressed when the wife and I crossed the Robertson, and even moreso when we saw the Tanana. For those who haven't seen these rivers, they are huge and wild, and I can only imagine the adventure that Art Young and Robertson encountered before roads and civilization brought these places to where they could be observed by the tourists from the lower 48. What an awesome place!

Real men with real bows. I know I wouldn't have been tough enough.

I have that on video, Art did not shoot at game with the same form that used when he posed for pictures, but was that goat sequence cool or what.

Butternutz · « **Reply #17 on:** November 11, 2012, 02:54:00 PM »

Awesome video!! I liked how he touched the bear with his bow to see if it was dead. I usually throw something at mine. Lol. Don

It is recorded that Young had only Robertson with him. Young had two cameramen with him.
