"What would Fred do?"

OK just stopped into 3 rivers and saw the new line up of Fred Eichler gear. Just thought that was pretty cool. His is one hunting show i can actually stomach.

J

he's one of the few I like to watch.

Same here...a great guy AND a great show.

Fred is real, Not fake like a lot of the other shows.. Just wish Easton Bowhunting TV was in the Sportsmen channel or the pursuit channel. I don't get the outdoor channel.

Anybody know when/why 3 Rivers dumped Tred Barta?

I too like Fred Eichler's TV persona. Most of the other shows though, I won't even consider merchandise with their host's name on it.

Trad Barta stuff is still there, I believe

Fred has a good persona. Does anyone know if he was ever a representative for Bear Archery? Like in the early 80's ?

Fred worked at Bear, but I don't think he was ever a field rep, especially that early.  I met him in Fort Collins in the late 80s when he worked at an archery shop called Arrow Dynamics.  I think he was around 20 at that point.

Fred is a top notch person and Ambassador of Archery.

Those of us who met  him at the Muzzy were impressed with him. He is just what he appears to be on his show. He is a very likable, fun loving "big kid"...and he can shoot, too!

I like Fred! His real enthusiasm makes me happy.. The only TV hunting show that's not "staged" in my mind.(I'm sure that it is somewhat, for filming purposes, but it doesn't seem so) He's as happy with a doe kill as he is with a trophy.. Gotta be a good guy. He and Ron LaClair are two people I'd like to spend some time with. Both seem to be REAL NICE PEOPLE!! (Oh, just as a side note, I'm on the Shrew waiting list, May of next year can't get here soon enough..)

I heard a while back that Barta had some sort of stroke and was paralyzed.  Does anyone know how he's doing?

I am sure he is a great guy, but WWFD?  

That is a little over the top for me.

good show, good guy

Fred is the only hunter i like to watch, he seems to grasp what the hunt is all about.

True blue good man. Met him at the muzzy this year.Even bought one of his shirt. I'm proud to wear it..He's a real good shot. He even showed us what Fred would do when he went up to get his trophy from his wife..You should have been there..LOL

I'm ordering a T shirt!!

Check out this thread from this years Muzzy shoot....a lot about Fred from first hand experiences with him.  

He's simply a really good dude!

I agree 100%. I like Fred, think he's a great guy, but "WWFD" is a bit much...a bit pompous.
