Fred Trost , is all the scuttlebutt I am seeing all over the internet true ?
If true , wows .
Now some people disagree with Fred , some laughed at him and thought he was a joke .
Seriously though , not me .
In the early days of the show Fred had to fill Morts shoes , those were some mighty big shoes to fill too .
Fred represented the surburban hunter , the 7 a.m. to whenever blue coller worker who had limited time for romps in the woods or trips out on the lakes . Fred got us out of the city every thursday night for just an hour , hell , I watched the show and would stay up late to see the re-run if i missed out on the first brodcast .
Fred spoke his mind , lost the first shows rights when he spoke up for us hunters who were being jipped by rip off scent companys , now thats standing up for his brother hunters , guys he has never met but shared the same outdoor passions with .
Fred continued his campain against the D.N.R. wrongs and the laws that the D.N.R. tried to slip past us during the off season , even took to law school to help Michigan hunters retain their rights we used to have . People thought Fred was off his nut for butting heads with the D.N.R. , he was just a man ahead of his times in my eyes .
If all the talk about Freds passing is true , Michigan has lost a valuable citicen and fellow outdoorsman
Thanks Fred , for dedicating and sharing your life and passions with us , you are truley going to be missed and mourned .
