Just finished Fred Bear's Field Notes. I sure liked this journal from "the man himself"! I especially liked the ending or epilogue where he summed up his views on bowhunting in general. It sure fit me in respect to where I am today mentally in regards to what I am looking for in a hunting and outdoor experience.

If you haven't already, read Bows on the Little Delta. It covers a lot of the same hunts but it's a better read.

Excellent read...I have a First Edition. What are they selling for now? I wanted to get one that was signed but kinda out of my price range at the time.
Read it first and then read Bows on The Little Delta. jmo

"Fred Bear's Field Notes: The Adventures of Fred Bear" is great--even better if you read it and watch his hunting videos. The narrator on the videos embellishes a bit--Fred tells the "rest of the story" in the book. 3 Rivers carries the paperback version of the book, and the video collection.

If you dont want to spend the bucks to buy it. Its available in a lot of libraries. There is even a interlibrary loan system that they can use to get it from just about anywhere in the country. I have used it to read The late Jay Massies books, Howars hills books and others. I havent used it in a while but all you need to pay is a couple bucks postage.

I agree! I've got all of his videos that are out as far as I know of; and they make his books even more enjoyable to read for me.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been contemplating getting that one. Currently, I've got a couple of G.F. Asbell books coming in from 3Rivers.

I have that up at my cabin. Can you imagine going into the bush for a month, 5 weeks? Those hunts in the Yukon were real expeditions. I often wonder if you could duplicate one of those trips exactly as he did it.

I have a copy signed by Fred himself to me in 1978 and will always cherish it.

Fred Bear's Field Notes and Bows on the Little Delta are both 'must' reads. I bought two first editions of Field Notes when they first came out and had Mr. Bear sign them. Gave one to a friend's son on his 25th birthday. The other one sits on my night stand and I re-read a chapter or two every few weeks. Same with Bows on the Little Delta.

I recently picked up a - first edition signed copy of Fred Bear's Field Notes on Amazon for $20.00. When I think of it, I do a search on those sites for specific bowhunting books - and every so often you can really find a bargain. I pick them up and save them for graduation gifts, birthday gifts, etc. Talk about bargains, several years ago, I picked up a first edition Howard Hill, Wild $5.00 - should have bought a lottery ticket that day too . . .

Here's mine, #19 signed by Fred. Frank Scott donated it to the Michigan Bowhunters for their spring banquet in 1996. A picture of Frank Scott signing it for me after I won the bid in the auction. Frank told me he was using the same brown ink pen that Fred used.

I picked this copy up at a used book store and it had been signed by Fred Bear in a nice stylized manner.

It had a signed museum pass in it as a book marker.
