In early 80’s I lost my big rig do to trucking being deregulated. I lost everything. My wife left me and my two boys. I found an empty hunters cabin in Bly Mountain, Oregon, no electricity or running water . I had a .22 , 10 gage and a Fred Bear’s “ White Tail “ compound bow which I put a lot of venison on the table with it . It’s a 60#. I now live in Missouri in a log cabin with 11 acres , still put venison on the table with it and catfish with it at 70 . 😎
I met Fred Bear for the first time in 1970 at Cobo Hall at the Bear American Indoor Archery Championship. I had a pic taken with him at the tournament that I still cherish today. He was a super friendly guy. Definitely one of my all time favorite heroes. I also had the privilege meeting him on a couple of other occasions too, and actually had a group photo taken with him and all of the Junior Olympic winners at the 1972 Bear American. That photo was printed in Archery World Magazine that you could buy right off the magazine rack, (for those of you who can remember that far back). I shot a perfect score with fingers and a recurve that year. When anyone mentions the name Fred Bear I still get goosebumps. Archery was a big deal back then and Fred Bear was the king, (not Elvis). Those were some of the best times of my life. I'm an old man now and memories like those keep me going. Ray Waleszczak
Thank you Uncle Ted for this wonderful tribute to the man if I remember correctly. You said set you on the right path by taking you under his wing and teaching you how to archery hunt. Although I never had the privilege of meeting him. Or you for that matter. I'm an old man now too who is terminally ill. But like you I believe I was set on the right path by him through 2 things. A stack of deer hunting magazines and a Fred Bear recurve bow exactly like the 1 in these photographs you showed. The very 1st day I carried that bow into the woods in my bluejeans and camo shirt at the age of 12. That was in 1983 that I harvested my very 1st button buck and I was hooked for life. Thank you Mr.Bear for some of the best times of my life. And thank you Uncle Ted for bringing back those memories with the sight of him. It's been a very long time since I've seen the pure form of hunting that I always tried to practice. Beautiful song by the way. I'm sure he would be proud!!❤❤❤
True old school hunter. I still have my compound that I got when I was 16. No let off, set at 70lbs and it still shoots better and faster than some of these newer bows.
I've been in the hospital for just over weeks after having my appendix removed Im still in the hospital waiting for the infection clear up. I came across this song and I smiled this just made my hospitality stay a bit brighter thank you for posting this.
I grew up in northern Michigan and a guy that lived down the street from me was Fred Bear's original partner in building bows and arrows for his company.
Would that be Pollington? Over in Marion. Greetings from Cadillac. This tribute from Ted is awesome. Ted’s sister Kathy is my dear friend. Nugent family are great American 🇺🇸 family. God bless 🙏🏻
An entire civilization was built with bows and arrows, Fred was not the first or the best, but he was a good salesman, and for a time a producer of fine equipment. Now he's just a legend to be celebrated.
Great tribute Ted. I have been listening to your music for more than forty years. I had no idea that Fred was such a great archer. I can only imagine how much more he would have done with the new technology in bow hunting today. I know one thing after watching this video, I sure as hell wouldn’t want him to be after me with a bow. You would have absolutely no chance. I can also tell by your respect for him he must have been one hell of a good human being. You’re lucky to have had a great relationship with him as long as you did.
I cant remember the year late 70s early 80s i went to Legend Valley and saw Ten Nugent Def Leopard Scorpions Black Foot in my 1976 Camaro LT 350 4 speed Any one remember ?
I watched a startled 375 pound B Bear cover 125 yards at full speed first crossing a creek and Up a Steep mountain in what seemed like 4-5 seconds. Deep in the Feather River country of N .CA. Unfortunately much of that Country was Burned up in those Arsonist fires that destroyed Paradise and much of Butte, Lassen,Plumas Shasta counties --Fred Bear’- A National Treasure 🇺🇸
a very heart felt tribute. A tribute to a true outdoorsman. Guy had balls the size of Montana to bow hunt for polar bear. Wow! Just, Wow! Fred Bear didn't spend much time in the meat market.
If the bear had run toward Mr. Bear; it would have been Fred/Dead Bear/Fed…. I had a poster up in my room when I was 9 years old; I slept with my bow and special cedar arrows. He was a hero of mine in childhood. When we had archery at day-camp in the summer; I brought my own bow and arrows; the other kids were just playing, I was practicing.
My father gave me a 45 pound bear recurve when I was old enough to deer hunt with him. That bow and all accessories still have a home with me nearly 50 years later.
I have seen Ted 4 times. One of my favorites. I really don't enjoy seeing animals killed. When you hunt its personal. At least to me. You, nature, and the animal. Still love the 5 fingers of doom. Just purchased a big Birdland guitar like Ted's. Been playing 39 years. I don't know why I never got one before.
This is great job of editing a video for this song but why did you let the audio fade twice(around the middle and end)? Please fix your audio issues and this will be great all around.
First off let me say that I love this song it’s a great song and I enjoy listening to it, but this music video really made me sad. I kept seeing the animals that were shot by an arrow go into full and complete panic mode. Confusion and terror literally consumed them. and the pain that the animal was feeling is completely evident, confusion, and these animals running away, in desperation, trying to survive, but they gradually and slowly succumb to their injuries. I am not a vegan and I eat meat and I enjoy fishing. I just feel sorry for the creatures in this video. 🥺
And that,is the paradox,that lots of folks,don't understand. I'm a hunter.And proud of it.The taking of any life,is a sacred thing.I am thankful for every harvest.Realizing,the circle of life and death,is set in stone.Humans wouldn't have survived without hunting.
Correct, his name was Bob Munger, a great friend, and companion for so many years at Bill Boyer's Grousehaven in Rose City Mi. Mr. Boyer was my wife's grandpa. A very kind man, like Fred.
I have no hunting stories and honestly ain't even a hunter. I'm just here wondering why this guy's life has never been made into a movie. I think it's a great American history story and should be told.
IT'S Hunting season in Michigan. I know that many people don't like to hunt for food. Do they EAT Food, or grass like cows which is Elegal in India. Food for thought near Thanksgiving.
I think Fred was absolutely anticipating having to send another arrow. In that split second. Not sure if you are referring to the bear fleeing downhill or the one he whistled at (the first bear he whistled at if you watch the original footage). I was talking about the one he whistled at. May be the same one you are not sure.
No way in hell would I be able to pull that off! That’s why I went to Sniper School in 1986, lol. I’ll do my killing a click out thank you. Retired Infantryman.
I've always loved this song. It was shown to me years ago by an avid hunter and friend. I was raised in the south where hunting was and still is a way of life and survival to some. I was taught that all life is sacred. With deep American Indian roots. "If you kill it, you eat it." With one exception for protection of another life or property. I truly hope he or someone ate all these animals that were killed. 😢
@@RD-Outdoors1143 if you like the great outdoors thiers a Artist Nicholas Coleman oil paintings the best I ever had privilege of witnessing being made.....and thier in the White House.
The "now" seriously in trouble Polar Bear was not seriously in trouble back in the 60's and 70's. So sit your greasy out of shape self back, stuff another Hot Pocket down your blow hole and admire a man who got off his ass and went out in the Wilderness and survived off the land by himself.
At that time polar bears were in a better state. Fred was quite the opposite of a weasel he always respected nature and never wasted anything of his kill.
That was in a time before the current crop of political morons let greed rain havoc on Mother Nature. Don’t worry she has a plan to rid herself of the fleas we call humans and return to Her glory …

AND , Fred Bear did it ALL without specialty camo clothing , specialty compound bows or even GPS !!!
True old school hunter. I still have my compound that I got when I was 16. No let off, set at 70lbs and it still shoots better and faster than some of these newer bows.
Hunting Polar Bear with a bow is the craziest thing I have ever seen

"... in the wind he's still alive"
Wow.. The Fish/Ocean hunt videos were something I had never seen before... Amazing Bow Hunter Fred was! Land or Sea!
My first compound bow was a Bear mini magnum. I mowed lawns all summer to purchase it from TG&Y for $70.
Chills and tears, thinking about my dad, every single time I hear this song.

I'm not a hunter, still i feel at home in the woods.

this is Teds best song....gives this Iowa boy a rush !
Proud to say that this man was from Pennsylvania German stock
There will always be bears and mans relationship to nature. Thats what this song symbolizes to me.
There's just something magical about blasting great rock and roll and roaming through the woods all day, wacking animals with a bow and arrow!
This vid is great !!!!! Love it

Excellent video
Thank you for this video! It's great footage!
Fred loved his bow hunting, but he was not stupid. When hunting dangerous game like 40 seconds in, behind him was another guy with a gun.
Correct, his name was Bob Munger, a great friend, and companion for so many years at Bill Boyer's Grousehaven in Rose City Mi. Mr. Boyer was my wife's grandpa. A very kind man, like Fred.

I give Thanksgiving on all my meals, amen.
He was a icon and mentor love he's hunting videos .
After a hectic night, I so much need to hear from Fred Bear
Awesome!
I love this song.
Turning over a new leave🎉❤
We all love Ted! But look into Freds life you will love him more!
cool open season tune 😁
Turning over a new leave 🎉❤
I can’t believe it. That bear was fast. Good thing he ran away from Fred or he would be dead.
Dude, Fred hit them with the arrow then he ran off

Dead Fred, Bear Fed circle of life baby
I do believe Fred had a rifleman backing him up, Fred wasn't stupid.
Fred bear god of bowhunting!
Anybody that don't use a bear bow needs to go get one.
The Dude!

It looks like he is in for a lot of work to follow it so far, then gut it blah, blah blah
Good job killing an elephant. Really cool...
Why did Fred attempt murder of the, now seriously in trouble; polar bear? Was he hungry or a weasel of a man
The "now" seriously in trouble Polar Bear was not seriously in trouble back in the 60's and 70's.
So sit your greasy out of shape self back, stuff another Hot Pocket down your blow hole and admire a man who got off his ass and went out in the Wilderness and survived off the land by himself.
At that time polar bears were in a better state. Fred was quite the opposite of a weasel he always respected nature and never wasted anything of his kill.
