Absolutely, great pics and posts. It is hard to get enough of the stuff Fred signed and in particular the Bear TD's.

What a great find!

Philip-
I'm gonna do that Sir. 11/11 is Veterns day. I am an Army Combat vet and a current gov worker so I am off on Vets day. I am going to take a handle #1111 signed by Fred to the deer woods. If you are right, and I drop a deer that day with it, it will be a miracle.

Bill,
You go hunting on 11/11 with that bow.
I'm confident that you will have a memorable day.
DO NOT just own them........USE THEM.

Here's another beauty held and signed by Papa Bear.
I sold this handle to a fellow collector some time ago.
Notice the black button medallion. Nice!

Jack - Just wanted to post a picture of the wonderfull bow you sold me a few years ago.  This one is by far my favorit bow.  I killed a nice 8 pointer in TX with her this year and will be in MS in a tree about 20 feet with her this weekend.  I find myself just staring at the signatures..wishing i could have been there when each one signed it.

Thanks again for parting with the bow.

Michael

My 3 Fred signed pics. They were all sent to me by Mrs. Scott (Frank's Wife). I love how she crossed her T's (in Scott),like they were arrows, in the letter she sent me. These pictures used to hang in the Bear Museum.

It's the twin of mine Phillip! I wonder if Fred signed all alike pictures in the same spot? Like he did our tiger pics.
