I am very pleased to announce the publication of a photograph I composed in Sept. 2009. My "tip of the fedora tribute to Fred Bear" has made it to the cover of Traditional Bowhunter Magazine. The Aug/Sept cover image was taken while I was elk hunting the Uncompahgre wilderness area in Colorado. The photo is meant to be reminiscent of the classic images of Fred that inspired so many of us to take up the bow in search of game in far away places. The bowhunter in the photo represents all of us and our dreams of adventure.

Once again Gary, great cover!!! That looks like some great elk country...Coffepot drop camp?

Yes Mike, the photo was taken the day we decided to drop down into a lower "park" to follow the elk after a night of wild weather drove them downward. The drop camp was about 500' higher than where I was standing, or around 11,600', near timberline.

Definitely the kind of picture lots of us grew up with Gary. Got the bowhunting part down early on.....still working on the "far away" part...

Congratulations. A wonderful picture.

Don't feel bad, I haven't seen the actual magazine yet myself. It's available online and people with subscriptions are beginning to received theirs in the mail, however, it may not be on the racks for a few weeks.

Great photo Gary! ....as always.

".....still working on the "far away" part..." HA, mine came relatively late in life. For 30 years I sat in the classroom (as a HS and College studio art and photography teacher)listening to "my buddies" talk about hunting elk and moose. I deciced to retire as soon as my wife and I could swing it so I could climb a few mountains too before my knees played out!

What is the "retirement" thing you speak of? My wedding vows went something to the effect of "you'll work till death do us part".

Fred would have appreciated that picture for sure. Great pic and thanks for the memories!!! Randy....

Great photo. You would have thought T.J. would have brought a few samples to the Compton Rendezvous . . . now starts the 'like a kid waiting for Christmas' checking the mail each day.
