Archer vs. Kodiak, Classic shot
« on: August 09, 2022, 10:12:49 am »
I'm looking for the iconic painting or drawing of Fred Bear kneeling behind a rock or stump with a Kodiak or Polar bear coming around the rock. Thinking of this for my next year's Classic Raffle Table project. Any help of info will be appreciated.

Pat, there is a sportsman channel video on U tube that has a scene you may be after. Awful fast though.

Thanks Piddler, that last scene is the one I was looking for. Someone sent me a still pic of that action so I think I'm good to go.
I love watching those old movies.  :OK

Hopefully something like this, Brian. Although, Fred shot lefty. He was right handed but as a kid he lost part of a finger on his right hand making it hard to draw with that hand.

Looking cool so far Pat. I too enjoy following your progress.
