Great hunting partners and best friends don't come along too often in life and when you have one the hardest thing to do is let go.  

Big Fred as I referred to my buddy was just that, my Best Friend and I've had a very tough time watching his bout with cancer slowly take it's toll.  I've put together a few photo's for you to enjoy and to pay tribute to the first guy I ever saw at a 3-d shoot with a recurve some 23 years ago.

MORE TO COME>>>>>>>Stay with me...

Several folks on this site also shared a friendship with Fred and even though his size was intimidating (6'8 295lbs) he was like a little kid who was crazy over the bow and arrow.

   
 

Fred was a huge part of our family, one of those guys your kids affectionately call "Uncle"!

We sure dragged "a lot" of deer together over the years and a few other critters.

If you've ever dragged a deer with a guy who was a foot taller than you     :thumbsup:
