          He was a treasure and I’m glad he shared his knowledge and wisdom with us.

                  We are all very fortunate that we had people such as Mr. Bear that came along and had such passion that nothing could stop them from their goals. They blazed the trail for all of us to follow. Thank you Fred and Happy Birthday!

                    His hunting films were amazing for his times!

                      Really? Say it aint so, Grumps!!!:lol:

                      Fred, Glen St. Charles… those men were tough and made it all possible for us now… battles we face might seem somewhat tame to those boys in those times!

                        You could also try the several biographies about Fred and Fred’s famous Field Notes. All good Reads.

                            After a winter of more skiing and arrow-making than shooting, I took three cousins to the backyard range this afternoon to compare results with the arrows – a 1958 60″, 58# Kodiak; a 1970 60″, 60# Super Kodiak; and a custom Talon Swift (built on the 1959 Kodiak lines) 60″, 55#.

                            Mr. Bear, I’m here to tell you, ya done good. 😉 If I may mix images, that hot blonde once again had me feeling like I was striking the target with Thor’s hammer. And I think I’ve found the setup that will finally warm my heart to the SK. Finally, I wish I could tell the late Dave Paxton how much he honored the Bear tradition with his rendition.

                            This boy, he be smilin’ this afternoon. Thanks, guys.
