Awesome stuff, thanks Andy.

The bighorn photo is my favorite. You can see the thrill of that entire hunting experience coming out in his face.

Excellent job guys;  There is always someone digging up dirt about our founding fathers, but they were and still are great.  Thanks

Thanks for sharing them Andy. Lots of "classics" in the bunch.

I can remember watching some of Fred's adventures on TV as a young kid. That was back in the old days with only 3 channels too! It was absolutely captivating.

Fred the personification of a "bowhunter" in every meaning of the word. A true trail blazer in so many ways. Fought for bowhunting when there were next to nothing in the ways of seasons and recognition of the bow and arrow as a means to kill a big game animal. An inventor and business man who's bows and broadheads are still being used today to take game all over the world.

I too have a number of pics of Fred up in my workshop and watch some of his adventures on DVD when I am in my shop.

THANKS FRED!!!!

Andy- That is a compass in his glove. Arrow30- His takedown design wasn't marketable until the late sixties. Hre's the copy of that glove that I make Andy.

Thanks Andy for posting those pics.  Although I've seen them many times I never get tired of seeing them again. My favorites have always those taken on the Little Delta.

Do you see the size of arrows on the dagga bull pic. Looks like he has trees in his quiver.  

Cool pics, Inspiring aren't they?
Relax,
