Before the compound bow, and without the benefit of any sort of reference guide, Fred Bear set out on a course to conquer the world’s most fierce big game. Toting what would, by today’s standards, be considered primitive bowhunting gear, Bear increased the challenge by taking along camera crews and writers to document these odysseys. And during the 1950s, 60s and 70s, Bear became our greatest hunting legend ever. The accounts of those historic adventures were captured in hair-raising detail and published in the leading magazines of the day and re-lived to national television audiences on ''The American Sportsman'' and ''The Tonight Show.'' For the first time, all of ''Papa Bear’s'' greatest hunts have been collected and brought to life in one amazing volume by accomplished author Dick Lattimer—Fred's right-hand man, friend and confidant for more than two decades. These are the famed Fred Bear adventures published during the heyday of hunting's greatest entrepreneur and ambassador of all time. The 6" x 9", hardcover book is 300-plus pages long and includes approximately 100 photos—some of which have never before been published. ‘’Hunt with Fred Bear’’ by Dick Lattimer makes an outstanding gift for any hunter or outdoorsman.
