You mean the Fred Bear who took shots at running mule deer with a bow???
If anyone has The TRUTH 4 Bowhunting... make sure you watch the Bonus Feature Classic Fred Bear hunt. Yes, it is pretty cool.... but I was sort of suprised.
Lets not forget that one half of "Pope and Young" who touted his shooting of african game at well over 100 yards with a longbow.....
We also mustn't forget the elk Howard Hill wrote about (
Hunting the Hard Way) taking at 185 yards up a mountainside with his longbow back in the 30's.
Or the hunting methods used, species hunted and shots taken by Will and Maurice Thompson after the Civil War (
The Witchery of Archery).
We also must not impose our modern day views of ethics on these men. Even though what they did way back when is often unacceptable to us, or even illegal now, it was the foundation on which bowhunting has been built.
