Com'on brother bowdoc...this is about Ed, not Ted.

"let's bring this back to Ed Bilderback".....thanx Tim

There is a reairing of this show Saturday the 7th on the outdoor channel at 11:00pm EST

This is a heads up for anyone wanting to see it again or for the first time.

Anyone have an update about Ed????

I am just learning more about the man....very cool!

I grew up a huge Ted fan.  Saw him talk at a sport show where he described shooting a treed bear and dancing in the crimsom shower.  Anyone listening that wasn't a hunter walked away an anti.  Darn near turned me into a PETA fan.  

We can be our own worst enemy. It's not us vs. the antis, it's who looks more resoanable to the non-hunters that matters.  We need to police our own ranks, but guys like Ted think we can justify anything as long as it's legal, like canned hunts. I'm not sure Fred would approve of him today.  Leopold and TR surely wouldn't.

Ah... if only I had cable.

When asked, Fred Bear said, Ed Bilderback was the best hunter he knew.  

I particularly liked the clip of him shooting beer bottles out of the air w/ a rifle over the ocean!  Things were just different back then and you could put that stuff out there on TV.  In these days there would be public outcry (and should be) for the littering aspect.  Got to respect the legends though.  We are where we are today b/c of them.

[qb] Hey I was just wondering if Ted was shooting a long bow now ? thanks bd [/b]

The Last time I'll watch the show he was shooting a Crossgun.

That would be cool..

Fred Bear said he was the strongest man for his size he had ever seen.

He was the guy shooting bottles out of the air with .30 carbine on that bear hunt right? I had a vhs tape of that hunt.

Yep - pretty danged good shooting.

Thanks for posting the pic of Ed. That is one guy I would like to know more about. Has he ever written anything? Or has there ever been anything besides the material that Fred had in his field notes? I enjoyed Fred's writting about him. He sure was resourceful.

C'mon Biggie- Guru said it's about Ed-Let it go!

Mark Mitten also got to go hog hunting in Hawaii with Ed- seems like I heard Ed walked him to death!!! Tough old fella!

Ted Got busted for poaching a spike buck in California. Used to like him but not any more.Poaching is poaching. But Eds is way cool.

Sorry General Marty....I didn't read My Guru's post....didn't mean no harm. How many deer did you mmmmmmiss last week?

I'm with Biggie and Thumper on this one. If it is about Ed then delete the posts that mention Poacher Ted.

I'm sorry to have to relay this message but I got some bad news today. Ed Bilderback had a major stroke yesterday in Cordova, Alaska. The prognosis is not good. He will never be the same. Keep him in your prayers.

Very sorry to hear that...prayers from CO.

Oh man---time is not our friend!
