Do you recognize who it is?

Steve95 · « **Reply #1 on:** December 07, 2011, 07:50:00 AM »

No. Not a shirt I have seen around. Drab colors work better in these parts. So who is the great one?

tuscarawasbowman · « **Reply #2 on:** December 07, 2011, 08:28:00 AM »

He looks familiar. But I say that 10 times a day and am usually wrong. lol

Gotta be Knick Knickerbocker.If I'm right do I win that over-sized Bear Razorhead?

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #4 on:** December 07, 2011, 09:46:00 AM »

Congratulations John -

You are correct, well technically only half correct in that you have his last name correct. "Knick" was his nickname short for "Knickerbocker". His given first name wasn't "Knick"...

I was positive that you would know who he was and thought about eliminating you from this question.

If you want to win the Bear Giant Razorhead, you will have to be the first person to correctly answer each of the next 99 questions...

I have changed the name of this thread to...

Here are my guesses
Answer #3- One of the original purchasers of bear stocks.
Answer #5- Charles (Charlie) Quock with fred's stone sheep?

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2011, 01:05:00 PM »

Answer #2-Ken Knickerbocker

Kenneth was KKK's first name. We'll give you 1/2 of question #2 as the middle initial of KKK is still unsolved

You also get 1/2 of Question #1 for your almost complete "Ken" answer.

Answer #3- One of the original purchasers of bear stocks.

Congratulations, you are on the ball. You get 1 point for Question #3.

Who was Fred Bear's hunting companion on the trip when Fred Bear took his first (earliest) World Record Animal with the bow and arrow?

johnnyrazorhead · « **Reply #12 on:** December 07, 2011, 01:26:00 PM »

Alright,#1)I do know Knickerbockers first name and agree with tuskarawasbowman,it was Ken,not sure of the 2nd "K" in the name.How about Kurt?
#3)Also agree that he was one of the original stockholders in Bear Archery.
#4)The Grumley has the fish-tail splice showing from underneath the grip and,the case is like none I have ever seen and both belonged to K.K. Knickerbocker.That is very significant.

johnnyrazorhead · « **Reply #13 on:** December 07, 2011, 01:39:00 PM »

I thought Charles Quock was correct for #5 too.There was an earlier world record shot by Fred?

John,

You get credit for #4,

The splice is showing under the grip, however it is a very unusual splice.

Yes, both the unusual case and the Grumley bow were personal belongs of KKK and both are stamped with his name and city.

Question #2 - 1/2 is unanswered correctly

Question #5 - still unanswered correctly

Question #6

Name a person who took two animals with a single arrow while on a hunt with Fred Bear

Name the person and the animals taken with a single arrow...

johnnyrazorhead · « **Reply #17 on:** December 07, 2011, 04:10:00 PM »

Question #6-Would that be Bob Munger?His name popped into my brain when I read that question so I'll go with it before researching if I'm wrong.

johnnyrazorhead · « **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2011, 04:12:00 PM »

Question #5-Is the answer Jim Henderson?

tuscarawasbowman · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2011, 04:19:00 PM »
