[@donwest2050]

[@mikesmalley3394]

I personally think this was Fred's best show ever Clare deer hunting with a broken leg I still get almost that excited when I shoot a big buck

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

It definately is one of the more memorable moments!

[@jasonsecord1482]

I remember being excited for this to come on t.v. as a kid. The deer season episodes were always my favorite. This is an episode I remember well. Thanks for posting!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Your Welcome, Thanks for watching.

[@ThurgoodJenkins-v7p]

Here’s why I love Fred and his show. You don’t hear “shooter buck”.

[@The-Digger]

I know every deer was a trophy to your pops but in every hunters heart they are after the big one

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Yes like all hunters he would love a trophy, however the reason he hunted and fished was to be self sufficient, enjoy the outdoors and if a "Trophy" crossed his path he would take it, but he generally did not pass up a legal shot, regardless of size. If that makes sense.

[@The-Digger]

I really appreciate that you reply to all of my messages I try to watch as many videos that you put on there Watching your dad show Brings back so many memories from when I was younger and just a little guy

[@clintonlied]

Gosh our family misses your dad

[@freetimeoffshore3157]

Watching this for the ?? time, brings back many memories of Fred, Mort,Bob, Howard, and all the rest. Attended 1990 season of hunting awards with my brother and his bull elk. Great time with fellow sportsmen!!

[@stevesanderson8360]

This was my favorite episode of all time. Thanks, Zack.

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Your welcome, Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.

[@dandarling5990]

If I was the landowner, I would place a permanant monument on that very spot. To honor a Michigan outdoors treasure, your father Fred Trost!! Thank you Zachary!!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Great idea! That would be Awesome!

[@w.c.6678]

Miss you Fred...! Thanks for the Memories!

[@robertvogel5049]

I sure miss Fred!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Agreed!

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

Fred needs Sasquatch feet adapters on those crutches. Maybe not that as someone maybe following us trackes for finding one of them. lol He was a man that didnt let anything stop him though! TY

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

He did not stop.

[@TJray623]

Everytime I see this video I can't help it and have to watch it again . I can remember seeing this when it first aired and it still is as good as it was back then.

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

It definately is one of the memorable episodes.

[@The-Digger]

[@toms7947]

Yes. A very different time indeed. Houghton Lake isn't the same as it was in the 80s and 90s.

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Your welcome, and thanks for promoting it. :)

[@bowhunterd2515]

I think of this episode often. Hope we can all maintain that level of excitement throughout our hunting careers. Gosh I miss Fred. Has never been and never will be another like him. Zach this was a blessing.

[@ramblingsofthethurmondator1657]

I remember this episode. So glad you Dad got that buck and to see him so excited. I always credited the miss on the first buck to him laying the barrel on the bottom sill of the window. Thanks for posting all of these!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

That could be, however he was known for very bad, Buck Fever, he also had a hard time sitting still for any period of time, anywhere. :)

[@sammenard3693]

This is probably my favourite Fred Trost episode as it portrayed him as the everyday hunter. Now that's what I call reality TV; there was no scripting that miss!!

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

You are right, no scripting. The only scripts we used were generally in the studio for the Outdoor News, Guides' Report, etc. My Father could Talk, and Talk, And Talk. Many time he did have a script in his mind and that is what also made him an excellent interviewer.

[@jeremyjames249]

I remember this episode! I have property in Clare Co west of Harrison, do you remember what part of the County Fred was hunting?

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Yes we were hunting on a couple of Private Ranches in Clare County. Mickey Mikesell's and the McKay Ranch.

[@1648jim]

Every Thursday night on channel 28, never missed an episode. Thanks for posting!

[@joshq7371]

These videos are SO great!!! What a awesome time for deer hunting!!! Back when deer hunting was about family, comaraderie, and filling the freezer for the year. Deer were respected and appreciated for what they were and what they provided.... Not trying to out due your buddy or shoot world record class deer. Just hunters loving life in the great northern woods of Michigan and enjoying gods great creation.... The mystical whitetail!!!! Can't wait for season 2018

[@Michigan-Outdoors]

Agree!!!

[@grouseman]

[@foggymountainman9138]

Yeah I've killed a 10 splinter in my day too

[@DM-mb9jh]

Fred was a true sportsman. I watched him every week as a kid. Great memories!

[@tracyp7660]

I love how every deer is considered a trophy! This is how hunting should be :)

[@mikesmalley3394]

I agree everyone should make there own decisions on what a trophy deer is to them

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

Remember watching this when it first aired .. he missed that first buck because his rifle was rested on wood causes it to jump

[@swampcrawlerls1267]

Me too, watched it with my grandpa.

[@Outlaw-Josey-Wales]

I wonder if the blind is still standing

[@fredoakes7441]

Fred was so great on tv..a real passion for Michigan.
