That's awesome!!
Thanks for sharing. I have never seen that before and I really enjoyed it.
Fred Bear is a legend and he is the primary reason why I love archery so much. I saw many of his hunting videos as I was growing up and always dreamed of someday going to Alaska to do some of the hunts he did. My favorite video of his is the 810 lb Alaskan Brown Bear that he shot on the beach from behind the large boulder at less than 25 feet in 1962.
Here is some more great footage....... [bbvideo=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBgydeR9I70[/bbvideo]

The hunt I am talking about is about 2/3 of the way into this video. It does not show the actual kill because the cameraman dropped the camera!!

There must have been another camera though because I have a video of the shot and the bear running off on VHS tape.

Nice clip. Fred will always be the man.

[76chevy]

yes, he will be

my first bow was a used fred bear whitetail 2, I am very proud that it had his name on it.

My first bow in the early 80's was a Bear Magnum Hunter. Still have it and shoot it every once in awhile.
Recently bought a 1974 Bear Kodiak Hunter recurve. I love shooting that bow. Nothing feels better than going back to the simpler times and shooting barebow totally instinctive.

83 and still shooting the 10 ring

Another good video and wise words by Fred Bear that we should all live by when we hunt........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjhAu11hUsU

Just watched these videos again. I never get tired of watching anything with Fred Bear and I appreciate all he did for bowhunting.

I cherish a Bear Takedown recurve I bought decades ago!

I wished I would have been around in Fred's time and been able to see the movies. I always remember his quote that went something like : "to all those young thrill seekers, if you want a real thrill go up north and hunt bears with a bow, it will cleans the soul" or something like that. I apologize to Fred for most likely not getting it right, I have a ton of respect for him and would love to have on of the original recurves to put on the wall in my man cave! I like Ted's song about Fred.

[Dewey]

Brad if you like Nugent's Fred Bear you might really like this live version. Crank it up and jam out!

It also has some very cool pics of Fred..........enjoy!
