wonderful memories! I'd say Fred was right there in the stand with you. that last picture that you posted is about as peaceful a picture i've ever seen, beautiful...  

thanks for sharing such a special friendship with us. You, Fred and your families are in our prayers...

WOW MAN! Sorry for the loss to you and family Tim. I wonder if people who dont share a bond such as hunters do stay in touch with the departed like we sometimes do? I met you briefly in person and in a second it was easy for me to brand you as a good dude, Im sure Big Fred cherished your friendship as you did his.My condolences and a prayer for your bud.

Tim,

If it's any consolation, I can feel your pain, but at the same time I feel what you both had -- each other!  He'll be with you on your future hunts I'm sure, and he will be smiling when your arrow takes the critters down!  Each drag may be a little tougher for you without him by your side.

Prayers to you for your loss!

Tim,

My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences. I know what it's like to lose a best friend... it is heart wrenching. It's apparent that you two were brothers... not by blood but by a bond that is truly something blessed.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Big Fred's family in this time of healing and recovery.

Tim,

I'm so sorry for your loss, as I know he was a special part of your life.

He may have left here, but you have some great pictures, and hunts to look back on, and more importantly, you'll have a lifetime of memories that you were able to share with him.
