Many years ago my wife and I were at the annual Shot Show which was held in Atlanta, GA. As we were walking down through the exhibits we saw a tall man sitting quietly in one of the booths. He was alone. I suppose most of the people were attending the lectures. I told my wife “that is Fred Bear”. She said “who”? We went over and talked to him about bow hunting and places he had been. He was a very humble, friendly person. When we left he gave me an autographed picture with a “Happy Hunting” along with his signature. I still have that picture. He died about a year later but I will always treasure the time I was fortunate to talk with a legend and the father of bow hunting.

At 59 I just spent a week in the bush, sleeping at near freezing temps in a hammock, and twice a day hiking rough rocky trails, up and down small mountains for hours at a time. Sit at a desk all day and even kids couldn’t have kept up with this guy. You gotta use what you’ve been given, but the stamina and recovery times do start to go down with age. I couldn’t keep up with me when I was 40, that’s for sure

My Grandpa used to take me to Fred’s archery shop every fall in Grayling before opening day beginning in 1972. In 1976 we arrived at Fred’s shop only to be greeted with the likes Jim Easton (Easton Archery,) Dick Mauch (NBEF Co-founder), Ben Pearson, Jr. (Pearson Archery,) Bob Munger, Gail & Terry Martin (Martin Archery,) Claude Pollington (Oneida-Eagle Bows,) Rollin Bohning (Bohning Archery,) and Cliff & Jack Zwickey (Zwickey Broadheads.) Most of the Titans of 20th Century Archery all assembled in Fred’s little archery shop. As a 12 y.o. I knew of the exploits of most of these elder statesmen through magazine articles and books I had read about archery hunting, but I never dreamed I would be able to meet them outside of a bow hunting outdoors show. Every single one of those great men took the time to speak with me as though I were one of their peers. It was the best baptism-by-fire education on using a bow to hunt I could have ever dreamed of. Along with my Grandpa, we all went out back of Fred’s shop and flung about two dozen arrows into targets Fred had set-up. I was using the Bear Kodak Cub Recurve Fred had given me two years earlier. After we finished, Fred took a new Kodak Recurve (not the Cub,) signed and numbered it ‘FB02’ and handed it to me. I still have the bow to this day. After all of that, we were invited to have lunch with them at the Grayling Restaurant, which we happily accepted. During that luncheon, Fred invited my Grandpa and I to join him the following fall at Grousehaven for an opening day hunt. Unfortunately, my Grandpa passed away in Nov. of ‘76 so that hunt never came to fruition. It was one of the best days of my life, and one I’ll never forget. Fred and Henrietta Bear were two of the kindest, most gracious people to have ever walked this planet. I will forever miss Fred, his warm smile and gracious demeanor. He taught me the true meaning of what it means to be a ‘sportsman.’

As a kid I remember watching this at a school that held a movie night ! He was a great hunter to say the least ! RIP Fred !

I read the book of Fred’s field notes about these hunts, and I went through the museum in the late 90s, a museum worker told me to go through the bushes along the building to a certain window that was Fred’s office everything as Fred left it, mounted fish on the wall, and a clock that was stopped at the time Fred passed

A side bar to this film; the Valient Maid, the ship in this film, made its way to Hawaii in the early 70's contracted out as a research vessel for the U of Hawaii's marine biology program.

Fred Bear was one of the best hunters and best of shooting the recurve bow. He was in the top five of all times. He forgot more than any of us will ever know.

Because of Fred bear, I walk these trails again

That kid was lucky to have Fred as a teacher! Love those recurve bows.

My father in law, Leo Baldwin of Wellesville,NY was a friend of Fred's. My ex wife has been to his home and saw a stuffed Kodiak so big it frightend her. Her dad was also a pro archer and coach

Fred Was a legend in the bow world...he reminds me of a show called The American Sportsman I used to love to watch...wish it was on dvd

Staff shooter for bear archery for 4 yr.s remember watching his videos on American sportsman. He was a great promoter for archery hunting that we enjoy today

Love these shows from back in the day. The narration was so cool.

I like these old movies of Fred Bear now. Great videos. Fred was a great out doors man.

This man was amazing with a bow !! If you can shoot a flushing quail with a bow you are the GOAT !! I’m 65 and got my first Bear Bow when I was 10. I won the summer Boy Scout Camp 3 years in a row with it. But lost I interest when football came into my life . I wish I would have stayed with it. My first bow deer hunt I used that same bow and took a nice doe with it. I still have it but have long switched to compound. I never missed an episode of Mr Bear and was always amazed.

Fortunately the guy with the knife was too drunk to catch me.😃. The first thing I learned was that your sense of hearing can not be relied upon. There is always too much wind noise, to much rain noise, or too much noise from running water to hear big bears. We did a lot of fishing and the bears tended to be where the fish were. We typically had a couple guys fishing and a guy watching. What a great place! If you live there you are fortunate.👍

Lived on Kodiak 1967-68. Only saw a stuffed Kodiak bear in the Navy exchange on Coast Guard base. However, If your dog went missing, you would go to Kodiak dump and look for the log with chains attached to it. mTheir if you dog was found alive yuou would go the city hall and pay a fee for the key that would unlock your animal. You had only until dark to release your animal or the native wildlife would dine well on your animal. I witnessed the after remains. Alaske Fast and Efficient. Extreme wilderness territority.

He was a guest speaker at a Kodiak Outdoorsman club meeting. he showed a film like this.Talked about his products, New typesof bows, arrow points,, This could even be the trip he's on to bag this trophyl. Even the natives don't eat Kodiak bears, to fishey and full of worms. I'm also of native heritage. My family was from Afognak. My grandmother and grandfather moved into the town of Kodiak in 1926 the year my mother was born. She just passed away July 3rd 2023 at 97. I also met Lenard Sly AKA Roy Rogers in 1956-57 on his quest to bag his Kodiak cept he was using a big rifle not no sliver of wood with razor blades on the points.

I met him years ago. He wasn't a great target shooter, but sprinkle a little hair on it he'd hit it every time. He was also a true instinctive shooter. He did not use point of aim or walk the string.
