just watched fred eichler hunting tule elk in cali with his recurve,awesome show he is going for it and plugs a cow....awesome as its his 29th species with trad equipment...a record. :clapper:
Fred is an amazing, down to Earth guy!
just watched it as well, he has a great show, one of the few i really really like
Yep, just got done watching it! Fred is a class act!! :archer:
Must be a rerun. I thought Fred completed the slam a couple of years ago.
The Tule elk was added last year or the year before, changing the number of animals from 28 to 29. I THINK Fred got the Tule ahead of Rich Duggan (hope I spelled that right?), so Fred is now the first to accomplish the Slam with a recurve. I guess added wasn't the right way to say it. I think the game biologists declared the Tule as a seperate species or sub-species. Mike
Fred, way to go :notworthy:
Yep, this made Fred the first Trad Bowhunter to kill all 29 species, now that the Tule has been added.
Interesting
Way to go Fred...
He's the man love his show also. I have all his dvd's I miss nost of his shows so I buy the dvd. He is a awsome shot would like to hunt with him someday. Widow
Fred is a stud. He will take a cow and still be happy. Just remember the shiras cow moose,I thought he was going to do a back flip. Good entertainment. :thumbsup:
I don't think many of those hunting show people know their a%* from a hole in the ground. Fred is the exception. Good guy and he gets it.
just watched it myself.. :clapper: :clapper:
I really enjoy his hunts,
He has created the term , I went all fred eichlerist "after the shot"
Nice
I love to watch Fred hunt , he is one of few that I look up to these days :thumbsup: :notworthy:
Got the Tivo set, will watch it as soon as i get home from work.
His show is about the only hunting show that I can watch anymore. I can't really catch his show either so I DVR every episode plus I have all of his DVD's.
fred definately gets it.i am poured from the same mold he is.i am not a trophy hunter at all.although i try and shoot a bull elk above a cow if a cow wanders into the redzone its on for sure.i ran into some of the primos boys once in burns...what a fiasco that was,they sounded like a herd of elk goin through the woods with all the hunters,guide,cameraman etc...makes me realize just how tough it must be for these guys to actually take an elk on public ground.sure glad its them and not me.
I would liked to have seen it...love seeing Fred's hunting films. Don,t get the tv cannel any more. He Has a good show and I miss it.
you can watch his shows on his website alabowhunter
elkherder,
Would you happen to have a link for that site?
no....go to easton hunting tv on google and it should pop up
just watched it myself loved the show one of if not the only show anymore that doesnt seem fake anymore to me
http://www.huntTV.com heres the link....i typed in easton bowhunting tv on google...took me right to the site on top
you can i assume see any episode you want on this site...........pop some popcorn...grab a soda...prop up your feet and enjoy boys....
elkhunter...thanks for the link I will be sure to watch it.
I thoroughly take my hat off to Fred, he really is a great ambassador not only for Trad huning, but for ALL hunting.
But...
I also really feel for Rich Duggan. He worked long & hard to complete The Slam & in my mind, he'll always be the first to have taken it. Having another species added on after the fact is a bit of a slap in the face, in my opinion.
elkherder...sorry about my selling ... need to prevew my post.
About the only show that I will watch.He get so excited like every harvest is his first.
Easton hunting with Fred is the best hunting show that I get on TV. :)
I have said before that Fred represents this passion of ours very,very well and his enthusiasm is contagious. I think it would be awesome to hunt with him someday.
I really enjoyed the show, my favorite show by the way!
It would be insane to hunt with Fred someday! Talk about a fun guy to be around. He's definitely a guy I look up to. I love the shows with his wife and kids too. It's great to see. I will add, I can't believe how easy he is to get in contact with. Pretty awesome.
Congrats to him on the Tule.
I wasn't going to post on this one but, after reading all the replies I just wanted to say the same thing. "Fred is the MAN!" His hunting videos are the only hunting videos that I own. :thumbsup:
"I just got a grizzly bear!!!! AAAARGH!!!!" Gotta love Fred, his passion for the hunt is as infectious as it gets.

I Agree!
I really find it hard to watch the hunting shows, most of the time i just get upset and feel they are really hurting the hunting industry!
Fred However i really enjoy, its very refreshing to see someone else that really loves the hunt for the hunt! without pushing their "Higher than thou" stuff and other crap onto the audience.
Most of us say the great part of traditional hunting is the fun it brings, no arguing the fun he's having.
Really do tip my hat to him, and is probably IMO the most proficient shot i have ever seen on game under hunting conditions, time and time again!
Congrats Fred good job Mate! :wavey:
what channel is the show on ?????
Fred is a stud, I love watching his shows.
Fred is a good guy.
He does 3 shows all together, but the one I think we are all refering too is Easton Bowhunting TV.
He also does a Predator show and contributes to the Muzzy Show with his wife Michelle.
Fred's show is great and I have nothing but respect for the guy, but imho Rick Duggan is still the first superslam with a trad bow. Not his fault that another species was added "after the fact"
this is true sam.
Fred is a cool dude. Fun to watch

I have to agree.

Awesome I haven't seen it yet I will have to check the DVR
Fred is a great guy congrats to him
Fred is an awesome guy and the reason I went trad 100%. I used to mess with a recurve from time to time but relied on my training wheels. After watching Easton Bowhunting TV I fell in love with wanting to feel that feeling that he gets with every harvest. I got to meet with and talk to Fred a bit a few years back at our UBNJ game dinner. He is a real down to earth guy and his wife is awesome too. Got a pic with him and my dad and a copy of his book autographed too. Skippy
(dang photobucket is all locked up)
Is this the new season?? If so what are they calling it this year. My DVR is set up t catch easton bowhunting TV. if they change the name a little it will miss it.
Yep Fred does good,
J
I just got through watching all his hunts and man he is deadly with that recurve.
I wonder why he still hunts with the wheel bow sometimes.
I really enjoy watching him. I bet he'd be a hoot to share camp with. The guys I hunt with are a bunch of goofballs-- I think Fred would fit right in! He really is deadly with his Palmer.
Way to go Fred!!!!
J dog, it's entitled "bowhunting tv" now. My dvr wasn't picking it up either until I noticed it!
Thanks for the info!! will have to fix that QUICK!! :knothead:
He is a deadly shot with the curve - really good tv show. I got burned out on the others - this one I can still watch.
J
I met Fred when he was at the big shoot in West Virgina the other year.He really impressed me
a down to earth guy.Always laughing,had some great stories.You could tell he really loves bowhunting.
Fred is very cool.
Anyone after a pope and young pronghorn needs to talk to him.
My buddy went and said he could not believe the quality of animals.
And the price is pretty good too.
He is a treat to watch, and my DVR wasn't pickin it up either.
The tule elk getting added was not a surprise, many folks have been adding points not just because it was to be added, but a different species anyway. Not sure why it matters that he or anyone else got #29 before who.
Anyone want to lend out some of his videos? I dont have cable or sat.- In fact I am too cheap to buy the converter box for regular TV! Dont want spend the money for them cause I'm going on an Elk hunt in Sept.! Need to save the money for that.
I prefer to watch Michelle.
My favorite outdoor show bar none.
For you dvr guys, some of the shows last year were called Easton Bowhunting TV. I have my TIVO set for both just incase.
Fred is a great guy, so is Rick Duggan. If I'm not mistaken, Rick already took his Tule elk before Fred, so upgraded his slam as well, so both have continued to pursue their hunting passions.
I don't think Rick got his Tule elk. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/06/sports/othersports/06elk.html

Just got home this afternoon from the ATA show in Columbus Ohio. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Fred on Wednesday. Great guy and he is hilarious.
Fred is the best. Someone for the younger guys to admire. Like that he has his wife and kids in the show sometimes.
Fred is one of the few celebrity hunters I would like to share a campfire with. The Wensel's and a few others are also on my short list. Course TradGangs own "Biggie" is on that list as well. Go figure. Congrats to Fred on his most recent accomplishment. He is amazing and a true credit to traditional archery. :thumbsup:
:clapper:
I really enjoy his hunts.He has the only archery tv that i really enjoy.
Fred is a pleasure to watch and one of the few shows I feel the entire family can watch without shame.
I went on the hunttv.com website and watched unuusal footage video under the latest video tab and was amazed. Anyone else see this clip?
Good video - Fred is okay and promotes trad archery very well.
Yea, Fred's a good guy. Ditto what everybody says above.
Skill trumps controversy IMO.
I met Fred a year or 2 ago as the guest speaker at ATAR and WVBA.
He is a great hunter and ambassador for all hunting.
BUT what impressed me the most was the fact that he was traveling with a coon hound pup that was a rescued dog that needed nurtured back to health. He carried this pup on the airplane from Colorado, that tells me what kind of person Fred Eichler is- first class all the way!
