I’ve highlighted some of Fred Bear’s legendary bowhunting footage in the past on this site; click here to watch Fred’s insane bowhunt for a Kodiak brown bear, and click here to see him stalk a mountain goat, then a grizzly.

In the 8-minute YouTube video below, Fred is pursuing Rocky Mountain elk near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Fred is joined by four buddies on this backcountry horseback hunt, and it takes place in the 1950s.

It’s literally a trip back in time to watch footage of their adventure. Check out the amount of gear needed for this bowhunt — crazy! And I love the intense music when Fred stalks close to a big bull.

Sit back and enjoy.
