85 year old Dick Mauch, on Saturday evening, February 25, 2012, at the Nebraska Traditional Archers Banquet, looking at his display for the first time. Photograph taken by Dick's wife, Carol Mauch, a very accomplished bowhunter in her own right.
Been planning this display since last fall when Dick gave me his 1968 Bear T/D Prototype w/ Walnut I-Beam. Started putting it together over the past few months. Like every display I've ever made, it is always changing as new ideas come forward. If anyone has any suggestions that might improve the display, let me know. It was shown for the first time at the Nebraska Traditional Archers Banquet on February 25, the following weekend at the Nebraska Bowhunters Banquet on March 2 & 3. It will be at the Compton Traditional Bowhunters Rendezvous in June 2012, so everyone can see it there.
The Nebraska Archery & Bowhunting Hall of Fame Display for Dick Mauch contains some early Bear Take Downs and some seldom seen photographs.
1) 1968 Bear T/D Prototype, Walnut I-Beam, one of three made, used by Dick Mauch in Africa 1968.
