    another fred bear story... from don weddle.. When i was at 1984 international bow hunter clinic,after i got my picture taking with fred. we went out back to a big tent were fred showed his show he did for american sportman .. with curt gowdy famous sportcaster!!! freds kill of a big grissily bear. at 10 yards. then he got up to a pupit and started telling side stories about how they made the t.v. show!! here are some of them.(1) before the t.v. crew showed up in colorado. he took and old horse he had destin for the glue factory. and shot it .where he knew the bear was hanging out. next when the film crew show up.,as they were walking in to set cameras up . the bear was eatting on the horse (fred called it a young elk caf in the show for bait they was using to draw the bear in for a close shot).they got cameras set up but no sound (Mics). they had to leave because they didnt want to scare it off ! (2) the next mourning when they went back in (after fred beat the t.v. crew in poker games that night and took some of there money) the bear was eatting on the horse again.STILL no sound for show!!! fred said give me the mics. and wires and i will get as close as i can an set them up for you!! 20 min. later after crawlin on his knees . camera crew said were READY. FRED had good freind bob munger backing him up with a RIFLE! When FRED got 10 yards away he WHISTLED. when BEAR heard it, it stood up. FRED was allready pulled back. SWOOSH .right thur chest of bear .BEAR took off' so did FRED. he ran over bob. FRED said you just do not know which way they are going to run when you shoot them. P>S this is for you SORTA. more stories to come>>> WEDDLE:

    I respect Fred and appreciate what he did for the sport, the whole shooting a horse and calling it an elk is somewhat disturbing. Why lie?

    Yeah that seems to be a common excuse, you can not claim to be the greatest and then take shortcuts behind the camera, it cheapens it because people look up to TV hunters for some reason people believe they have more credibility because of what they do on camera, then we find out corners were cut, and thing were not quite like what it appeared on camera.
