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.

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.

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.

reddogge · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2015, 11:41:00 AM »

What tipped me off was that he is a lefty.

LA Trapper · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2015, 11:43:00 AM »

And the hat reddoge

V I Archer · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2015, 11:44:00 AM »

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!

joe skipp · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2015, 12:23:00 PM »

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....

NIGEL01 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2015, 01:02:00 PM »

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.

Sean B · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2015, 01:36:00 PM »

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!!

iohkus · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2015, 04:09:00 PM »

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.
