Don't know alot about Howard except that he was an awesome shot. I would choose Fred. I've read alot about Fred and his demeanor and sense of humor seem to suit me just fine. Not to mention I also like his choice of hunts.

Gosh that is a tough one both would be interesting. While it would be great to chat with one of the two of them, I think if I could choose right now one of the big names to share a hunt, a campfire, or shoot a bow with, Id pick Don Thomas or Jay Massey. While neither are in the same league as Howard Hill or Fred Bear, I sure would like to spend a little time with Don Thomas
(Jay Massey passed away)
I love Don Thomas writing style and I have all his books. His descriptive, eloquent and articulate style makes you feel as though you are right there with him in every one of his articles and stories. And I also liked Jay Masseys writing. It would have been fun to have floated the river with him what an adventure.
Other than that, for now, LOL, Im pretty content to spend what time I have for hunting with my family.

No fair picking someone that wasn't on the list, Chuck! Jay Massey is my all time bowhunting hero. In 1990 I kept in touch with Jay over the phone trying to arrainge a float hunt on the Moose John. I even got his wife mad at me when I forgot about the time zone difference and I woke her up at 4am! Boy did I feel dumb! I never went through with it but I sure wish I had.

That's a good story Jim ... Yeah, it sure would have been a neat thing to do. You've still got time - they still do float trips down that river.
Thanks for the link Trout ... he was quite a guy.

I had the money to do the float trip way back then. Now I'm married with "animals!"

Yeah Jim - that's the funny thing about life - by the time you get around to being able to afford to do such a thing again, you're getting to the point where you lose the enthusiasm for such a trip.
I'd sure like to try it someday though ...
