  Jim Dougherty

 

1936 -  2015

Class of 1997
Bowhunter, Contributor to the Sport, Influence on the Sport

In truth, there are only a handful of bowhunters whose names and faces are instantly recognizable to fellow practitioners of the sport, and fewer people still have given their lives to bowhunting, personally and professionally, blazing a trail for others to follow while leaving giant sized tracks as evidence of their being on this earth.

Jim Dougherty is such a man.


 

 

 

 

Why do I bowhunt? Because I love it. Sometimes I get very frustrated, but I think we are supposed to. After all, we do it because we want to make things a bit more difficult, because we like the challenge,. One way or another I am involved in it – or around it – 24 hours a day. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

 “ I would like to be remembered as a guy who loved to bowhunt, who did it rather well and who tried to represent the sport properly.”
