Sportsmen Owe Fred Bear
Fred Bear helped to make bow hunting and hunting in general become a mainstream sport. He gave hunting a great name by the way he hunted and carried himself. He became a legend after another great hunter, sportsman and musician Ted Nugent wrote a song about him. Ted Nugent and Fred Bear became great friends. Bear traveled the world in pursuit of big game and filmed his kills and hunts and are now legendary. He didn't even start bow hunting until he was 29 years of age which just goes to show that it's never too late and you can do anything that you set your mind to. Archery was Bear's life-long passion. He played a key role in promoting a bow-hunting season in Michigan back in 1936. He became an expert marksman and won the state's target archery championship in 1934, 1937 and 1939. He also became a regular on the sports show circuit, inspiring experienced bowmen and novices alike with his natural shooting skills. Whenever a bow hunter hears the name "Fred Bear" they get inspired to hunt and to practice their archery. We as hunters and sportsmen owe a lot to Fred Bear for what he did for the hunting industry. Sometimes it's unnerving to think where our hunting rights would be without Fred Bear. Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com |
