Things Fred Bear never said...
General Topic
Contributors to this thread:
I saw this on another site and I though it was funny enough to start here. So let er rip..
I started thinking of things I bet Fred Bear never said about hunting. Feel free to add!
Nice buck, but he could use another year!
Hes the #1 on my hit list
I cant go hunting the batteries for my ozonics is dead
I cant go hunting, my camo doesn't even match
That bow is too long to hunt with
That bow is too slow
“I think I’ll use a rage”
and he never named deer,which is stupid in my book imo
Got to pull my memory cards to find out if there is any game in the woods and what they are doing when
"Whats fhe best broadhead for.....?"
Check out my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat for updates. And be sure to check out my latest Youtube videos where you can like, and subscribe!
I'm betting your right about that Charlie! And Hoyt has actually been around long enough that you you could say that...
"I think I'll only put 1 arrow in my quiver"
I'm guessing he never once said "Booyah" or "gitchya sum a that"! LMAO!
I smoked him or "Give me a minute" (after connecting of course)
"Hey what's your off season work out program?"
"Gotta find a dryer for my carbon suit before I can go hunting again."
"I need to get a pair of those special gloves so I can play on my phone while I'm hunting."
Which climbing tree stand is the best?
Do you think he's big enough to shoot?
Which outfitter has the best chances of taking a monster buck?
What do you plant in your green fields?
This list could get huge. Deer hunting has changed a lot over the years and he was a big part of getting it all started.
Can't hunt today my GPS isn't working.
Which Realtree pattern should I choose
He's too far for an ethical shot.
" I just gave that Mack Daddy a dirt nap"
"There's no way to cross this river."
I like midwest’s post. I like Fred as much as the next guy but it was a different time back then. We can’t compare it. He did things that make us bow down to him. He also did things that would make a lot of bowhunters skin crawl. If bowhunting WASNT a thing today and he was trying to grow the sport I bet you he’d use all avenues available including social media. Most people today use it for their own glory, but I digress. A lot of these things we say he would t do were impossible to do and no one did them. He seems to epitomize the purity of a hunter that is just starting and hasn’t been soiled by watching what is on TV today. What a great time to bowhunt. And what a great hunter he was.
Let’s go back and review the footage.
"i think I'll try that new x-bow this season"
I guess the Lone Ranger wouldn't have Tonto these days either. Certainly not in the same context. If some one came on here and said they took ten shots at running deer, some past sixty yards, on the weekend, can you imagine the outrage.
But back to the Lone Ranger and how he died. He and Tonto were surrounded by thirty Apache warriors. He turned solemnly to Tonto and said, "Well Tonto, looks like we are done for this time." Tonto smiles and says, " where you get this "WE" stuff, pale face?"
Fred probably never said, " there's no reason to improve on what we have and if we can, it would be unethical to use it."
"Do these baggy wool pants make my butt look big?"
“I cut myself manscaping this morning “
t-roy and others, very funny comments. Keep'em coming!
That’s a management/cull buck
He never said "Gimme five" after an animal was down (I can't stand that). I doubt he ever touched knuckles before the hunt either.
He never described everything from a sandwich to a pair of boots as "Awesome" (the most over used descriptive word in the English language).
He never used "like" more than once when he explained something... nor did he uptone every sentence.
He never asked a partner "check the distance".
" I bet he makes Gross Boone."
“Wait for him to turn broadside”
"Let me check my app to find out which direction the wind is blowing...never mind, I will turn on the ozonics"
“I got close but the shot was just a bit too far”
“I put the smack down on that toad, son”...
“We’ve been using a drone to aid in game recovery “
I hunt old bucks only ...
I can`t get him mounted....my wife says I have too many in the house.
"Let me check my app to find out which direction the wind is blowing...never mind, I will turn on the ozonics"
Too true to be funny! Woodsmanship is a dying art.
Instinctive shooting does not exist.
"I just shot Walter Payton" then bursting into hysterical fake crying like a 3 year old.
Bought this tag at auction....
I can't wait to put this polar bear that I just killed on Facebook :)
Let me go onto Bowsite to impress everyone with my vast experience, skill and knowledge:-)
Did I ever tell you about the articles have written and the awards in have won from the local jaycees and the moose lodge
Fred is one of my heroes, but also think about the Art Young Alaska moose hunt , kill a moose then craft canoe from the hide and paddle 300 hundred miles to a pickup point , all with no communication or support, our forefathers sure were tough people.
“He’s kinda wide, but just doesn’t have the mass I’m looking for.”
“I didn’t have an ethical shot” He was a flinger
Yes honey I know I’ve been hunting all month but can I please stay up here in Alaska and finish this Moose/ Brown bear hunt ? Why not ?
What FOC is best for my hunting setup?
I’ll never say what happen on that Alberta lion hunt.
"Why do my pictures keep posting sideways"
"These Connecticut live hunts are awesome."
How do I post a live hunt?
“How do I post a Connecticut live hunt?”
"I was posting to Instagram when a big buck walked past, and I couldn't get to my bow in time.."
"Is there an app for that?"
What's a fair price per acre for a whitetail hunting lease?
" Did you listen to that podcast?"
"What would those fellas, Pope and Young, say if they saw the gear we have now!?"
“I should draw that unit in the next 5 years”
"How many Preference Points does that unit take?"
Turkeys in Alabama sure are hard to kill!
"Im going to check trail cameras"
I got to meet him and get his autograph on Friday night and then I got to spend some conversation time with him on Saturday morning. One cool, memorable experience. I will always cherish the memory and opportunity of meeting Fred Bear.
He was just a down to earth, salt of the earth, everyday type guy. No hero, no legend or celebrity status or mentality about him. Just a humble person.
One of the things he didn’t say was, “No.”. He was one of the first contributors to the P&Y Trust fund and an avid believer in the P&Y Club.
Greg, that is a very cool souvenir! Wow! I doubt anybody saves the ticket from the bowhunting banquets where I'm honored to be the guest speaker, although I have autographed a few boobs....
:-O
Huntcell, Alberta lion hunt.... bawhahaha!!!!
Midwest, that was great as well!!!!!
I can't hunt tomorrow, my wool camo is still wet.
He never said 'Prolly" I HATE that term. Say it right or leave it out... :) H also never said "I love the smell of napalm in the morning". I don't know why that popped into my head. Probably because he was never in the service. ;)
LMBO! Some good ones here! : )
"I'm running a Selway Rawhide flex-quiver on my hunting bow............"
“Dam... I just got Doug Flutied”
"I just saw him go down. Now where's my Butt Out?"
"Wow Henry, your butt looks good in those Kuiu pants."
“I left my bow back at camp”
"darn, I forgot my butt out tool, along with my cough silencer... ah at least I remembered my lighted nocks... sphew.
"I can't wait for the new model Hoyts to be released!"
"Hey Art Young, think we can pool enough money to buy a white lion?"
Here, hold my beer, watch this..
"$5,000 for a lease sounds about right."
This buck scores 170 by the Alabama scoring model.
Release the tracking spiders.
I realized that I left my bow back at the house.
"You on him? You on him?"
Shooter... Mackdaddy… Hammer... Smoke'm… Lease... High Fence... Pay to Kill... Trail Cam… Mechanical Heads... Scent Eliminators... etc...
One thing he did use though, ahough just shortly (Oh boy, this will stir the pot),,, pods...8^)
Pat, How about another blood trail challenge?
Scoped "machine" crossbows are bowhunting.
I have to make a stop on the way to the lease and gas up my ATV.
Help... Can't get broadheads to group with field points.
I need to pick up a few new sponsors so I can get more free gear.
Where did I put my GoPro and my Thermacell ? Oh yeah, they are in my other pack with my Ozonics & my HECS suit.
I can't talk to you right now, I am to busy.
"I love Compounds"
You sure he never said that?
midwest - Bear Archery manufactured them, and he posed with them for marketing, but don't believe he ever said he "loved" them... Seen a video of him discussing them although he didn't brag them up much... Lets just say he wasn't very real positive about them... Whether he actually ever hunted or killed anything with them, don't know, can't remember ever seeing video of him doing so (have his complete video set) but my guess is no...
Turn around....I forgot my release.
“ Wish I could get 200 FPS out of this bow”
Papa Bear was the real deal, are are the Wenzels, Mike Mitten and so many others. All in all, we owe them a great amount of thanks.
Fun thread
“Cull buck.”
“One more year and he’ll be a shooter.”
“It’s like throwing an axe right through ‘em.”
"Heck of a weekend hunt. I'm down thirty seven arrows and no for sure dead deer."
“I can hunt til ten or so but I gotta go to the office and do payroll.”
Ted, be a good boy now, put that geetar down and fetch me them arrows out of the hay bail... oh and for goodness sake get that hair cut... but fore ya do write a song about me.
"That's big ole freak nasty right there son!"
Never said "That's a Toad" Hope not anyway.
"how do I change the date on google earth?"...
" anyone hunt with jay fuller?"
Tiffany Nicole why didn’t I think of that?
Ya all know where I can shoot a 160" buck or better
He never said rear deploy is better than forward deploy.
If you teenagers want to get a thrill let them go up to the Northwestern Territories and tangle with the brown bear, grizzly or polar bear, they'll get their thrill.. and it will make their Facebook account get lots of hits...
or "I'll hide behind this rock so I don't have to shoot that huge bear at less than ten yards y'all"
“What da mean I can’t bring my polar bear hide back to the US of A”
“BBD” baby! No fist pumping. Just a smile and reverence for the animal.
Never cussed out his cameraman--at least that we know of.
WHEN IS THE DRAW DEADLINE? KUIU OR SITKA

"What is the best climbing tree stand"
"I have to go pick up some new blades for my replaceable blade knife. "
"Don't eat squirrel brains."
"I'm going to start a thread on things Aldo Leupold never said."
“How many Kuiu layers do I need to stay warm in a tree stand?”
TrapperKayak….."Probably because he was never in the service." FYI, Fred Bear joined the Carlisle National Guard on his 16th birthday with his parents' consent. After two months the Carlisle National Guard was converted from an infantry unit to a cavalry unit. Just sayin.
Check out the "Man Up" thread... Can't imagine" Ole Fred" acting like that poor fool.
I am thankful QDMA studied wounding rates.
I love mechanicals!
Sorry, I just TBM’d.

"These Connecticut live hunts are awesome." Dont know why that one made me laugh so hard.
"That ham blaster sure put him down quick!"
"I need to give good ole TMB a call and get some of them blood tracking spiders!"
My number one hitlist buck
What's that book score or is that a mature deer
Do you like my new earring?
