Title: Who else hunts with a Fred Bear t/d?
Post by: Trooper on June 23, 2008, 07:01:00 PM
I'm just curious to see how many other Fred Bear t/d bowhunters are out there.  Show me some kills and your bows.  
I'll start:

Last of 3 bowkills last season:

Thanks frassettor.  Here's another bowkill last season with my F/B T/D.  My first bobcat ever!

Sorry, no pictures, but I have been hunting with a mag handled TD for years,(early 90's for sure) and probably will continue..
Gotta love the kitty..

Just returned home from Que'bec with the 3rd black bear to fall to my Bear TD.You gotta love them for traveling by plane.I used my one piece the first trip to Canada(1964 Kodiak) but was always worried about the long box in shipping.They shoot great and ship well....bowdoc

I've hunted with my 70# Mag. handled T.D. for quite awhile now.  It's an early 80's bow but still shoots as good as most of the newer bows on the market.   (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/longbowman_bucket/115024-R1-04-20A_005.jpg)

I just came off a bear hunt in Quebec where I used an old StyleI B riser and first run white tipped limbs, 66#@28. I've used this bow exclusively for several years now and I still have the StyleII that I used for well over twenty-five years. The most recent kill is posted on the BearQuest thread. I like the bows for several reasons and have put off retiring them for quite some time now. I own four total. GY

I love my Bear takedowns. I have 3. They are so smooth. My current favorite is a B with #1 limbs. This makes a 60" bow that is very stable. It is old, nicked up, absolutely not in showroom condition, and deadly accurate.
Darn nice bows, those old Bears.

Shot Bear t/d's since 1971. Got a turkey with an "A" handle 56 incher and a Bear last week in Manitoba with a "B" 62 inch. Some day I'll figure out how to attach pictures.

I will be soon...just sent out the payment this morning on a 60" B that I bought from a fellow TG'r.   :thumbsup:  

Started off in the late 70's with a Grizzly and have a rack full of various customs today, but never did get that Bear T/D I always wanted until now.
