I saw this today and had to share. I can't tell if it is a photo or a painting, either way I really like it.
-
Nice, looks almost like an ELB :)

Heck no, that's an ALB :)
Cool pic A-a-ron.

It's probably a hand colored photo. That's what they had to do back then.
Or it's a modern recreation of the look from an old black and white image.

That's a cool picture, good catch Aaron, thanks for posting.

Anyone care to guess his target?
Mine would be a flock of geese lifting off or a moose at 50 yards.

Oh yeah, What about the guide? Dream land?
Actually I am thinking an older Howard Hill??

Looks to me like a staged photo, with a picture back ground. The canoe, looks like it is sitting on something, other than water, unless that is the reflection of the canoe, in the water, and if the guy is actually shooting at something, the guide isn't too particularly interested in a successful shot or not, and the guys stance, in a canoe, isn't exactly a stable stance, and the bow of the canoe looks like it is raised, not down with the guys weight, unless the guide, or paddle grunt, has a huge glutemus maximus, and he is like OK, take the picture, I want my money, and lunch for this! Just my opinion, still neat picture.

That looks like a lemon wood bow 30,40's. That go's along with the guys way of anchoring up the chin.
Field archery shooting a butts, walking the string for shooting distance's. Doesn't look like he's shooting 20 yards. Way the reflexon in the water looks it's differently a painting from 30,40 50's who knows if it isn't signed.

The best I can find for a source: Below the image in the article it gives credit to "http://www.jerrygowins.com", but nothing seems to exist on that site anymore.

I like it it would look god in Man Cave

I wouldn't have the guts to shoot a moose from that vantage point. Suppose the moose got mad. How would those two men maneuver to escape? How would they salvage the kill?

Thanks AHF. Outstanding find.
-
I'd like a copy of it. Looks like he was probably after Moose.

I am going with photo of a photo. The guide blinked. Nobody paints that in. Too much detail in the grass. If you look there is a reflection on the entire photo as if it was shot through glass or had a gloss. With the right equipment you could actually enhance the reflection and see who took the photo of the photo.
-
Love it. Where's the camo and trigger release ? :o

In my youth I was fortunate enough to shoot tournament
rounds and hunt with men like the dude in the photo.
These gentlemen were disciples of the thumb anchored
tightly under the ear behind the jaw. The ring finger in the
corner of the mouth. Bow shoulder rolled into the chin
and the lack of a finger grip on the bow.
Fond memories.
