Title: bear collectors dream!!!
Post by: tonto on June 04, 2003, 06:57:00 AM
Work sent me for a week in indiana. Got to stop and see a friends collection. WOW!!! is all i can say. I got to hold Fred bear Hunting bow. ( its pictured on the book "Trailing the bear") Got to see Freds 44mag pistol, Franks Scotts Grumley bows. numerous proto type takedow handles. It was a thrill for me. I would like to thank "Moose". If I ever get some time off from work Ill post pics of me with freds bow and a link to Mooses web site where you can see much of his collection.

Tonto,
I know how you feel.  This winter I was a guest at Wade Phillip's in Omaha. Absolutely amazing seeing a collection of that magnitude. I would truly love to visit Moose's as well. I have seen his web page. His collection is awesome. I can't help but admire someone with the resources, desire and dedication to preserve these things for the rest of us to enjoy.
