Bill,that is one really sweet handle,it amaze me everytime I look at it.

Absolutely, great pics and posts. It is hard to get enough of the stuff Fred signed and in particular the Bear TD's.

Mine are pretty mundane, a signed copy of his "Field Notes" I picked up in a used bookstore for cheap.
   

And an initialed and hand written pass to the museum in Grayling written on the back of a post card with he and his Grizzly. This was the bookmark left in the book.
   
   

What a great find!
Thanks for sharing......Philip

Philip-
I'm gonna do that Sir. 11/11 is Veterns day. I am an Army Combat vet and a current gov worker so I am off on Vets day. I am going to take a handle #1111 signed by Fred to the deer woods. If you are right, and I drop a deer that day with it, it will be a miracle.

Bill,
You go hunting on 11/11 with that bow.
I'm confident that you will have a memorable day.
DO NOT just own them........USE THEM.

Jack - Just wanted to post a picture of the wonderfull bow you sold me a few years ago.  This one is by far my favorit bow.  I killed a nice 8 pointer in TX with her this year and will be in MS in a tree about 20 feet with her this weekend.  I find myself just staring at the signatures..wishing i could have been there when each one signed it.

Thanks again for parting with the bow.

Michael

That's awesome Michael!

Nice to hear that you hunt with it also.
Lot's of folks "keep em in the closet".

thanks for sharing that magical bow.......To me anyway!

Ain't that the truth! I've always been a sucker for old archery photos.

My 3 Fred signed pics. They were all sent to me by Mrs. Scott (Frank's Wife). I love how she crossed her T's (in Scott),like they were arrows, in the letter she sent me. These pictures used to hang in the Bear Museum.

It's the twin of mine Phillip! I wonder if Fred signed all alike pictures in the same spot? Like he did our tiger pics.

Bill,
It's a great photo. Look at the size of that......"tiger" you say?  LOL

What a Lion and what a story of how that hunt went down!
