FRED BEAR

'Fred Bear' (March 5, 1902April 27, 1988) was an American hunter and bow manufacturer. He was born March 5, 1902, in the town of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. Although he did not start bow hunting until he was 29 and did not master the skill for many years, he is widely regarded as a legend and pioneer in the bow-hunting community. Bear was a world traveler, film producer, and the founder of Bear Archery, an outdoor company that still exists.
He died April 27, 1988, in Gainesville, Florida. Bear is listed in the Bowhunters Hall of Fame.
Bear probably is best known for being immortalized in a tribute hit single "''Fred Bear''" (from the album Spirit of the Wild) by rock musician Ted Nugent, who was Bear's lifelong friend.
What remains of the Fred Bear Museum (for public view) is currently displayed at the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, Missouri.
