Title: Happy Birthday Fred Bear!
Post by: Sharpster on March 05, 2013, 08:40:00 AM
I just got an email from 3 Rivers reminding us that today is Fred's birthday. Think I'll get the 'ol Super K out and take a few shots in honor of this fine gentleman. I'm sure the hunting is much better where he is now than anywhere the rest of us get to hunt.

Fred Bear March 5th 1902- April 27th 1988

Our most sincere thanks Fred!

just a point of interest

The guy who guided Fred bear on his Yukon hunt is still alive, Think he's 95 now. Alex Van bibber is his name. Alex aways tells the story of how Fred bears Yukon grizz was first thought to be a black bear. Fred went up the mountain after the bear alone, Alex was cooking in camp.

Asked Alex what fred was like,  Alex replayed a true genital men with nervous of steal. guess that way we all hold  fred in such high esteem so many years later

thanks
fred

I spent the day bombing Yankee Springs with my 30# Bear Tartar.
Apparently Fred frequented this area for bunnies and bluegills.   :saywhat:

Certainly an outdoor legend and hero of mine.  Shot my '61 Kodiak Mag yesterday.  He knew what he was doing.
