Rare, especially in this condition.
American doctor, teacher, author and outdoorsman Saxton Temple Pope is widely considered the the father of modern bow hunting. He developed a close relationship with a member of the Yahi tribe, Ishi, who was the last known American Indian to be raised largely isolated from Western culture and taught Pope how to make and hunt with bows and arrows as the Yahi did.
