Elkcrazy i believe the answer your looking for is Ishi. I completely agree very limited in technology and able to survive for as long as he did.

Although I do believe there are still some native tribes in the world that still hunt with traditional methods, though maybe they get there now by snow machine LOL.

Ishi is it!!! Many of todays tactics have come down from what Ishi taught, He taught Pope and Young the art of decoying and calling......

In the non-yankee category, akin to Eskimos probably best include the bushmen of the Outback of Australia and Africa, perhaps the pygmies as well.

The guy who did the slam with a recurve is Fred Eichler ( don't know if he finished or not yet). But I believe the absolute best in the game you will not find. They are so absorbed in the game they don't seek the spotlight and therefore don't enter the books. The best hunters I have known are pretty quiet about what they do and don't need to see their name in some book.

1)Herb Klien,
2)Chuck Adams
3)Jim Shockey


IMHO Herb Klien, was the best hunter.
