I suppose this should be filed under the muzzleloader or black powder forum, but there are more people who view this one. If you haven't already seen it, Fess Parker, died today, age 85. I know there are thousands of us out there who had Davy and Dan'l as our hero. He represented all that youung men wanted to grow up to be, honest, brave, loyal, and self reliant. I just told Mark Young that I never ever hear anyone criticize Fess Parker for anything. He stayed above the fracus in Hollywood. Put on your buckskins boys, and tip a horn to the end of an era. | ||

As bad as I hate to say it, Thank You for posting that info. I guarantee, with out any reservation, watching all those shows as a kid helped set me on the paths in the Outdoors that I am still following as I prepare to turn 60. It is strange, my wife and I were discussing Mr. Parker just the other night when we heard an advertisement about his award winning winery. It truly is a sad day.  Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

I'm am saddened by his passing. His portrayal of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone had a great influence on me as a boy growing up. "Make sure your right, then go ahead" are words to live by. Thanks Fess! "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Yeah, Fess was one of the great hero's many of us as young boys looked up to. Thanks for posting Yellowstone, I think all of us remember him as a good man.

So sad but very true. We are coming to the end of a great era. RIP Fess.  " If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand which feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countryman " Samuel Adams, 1772 | |||

Dont you just love todays H-wood types, against anyone but their B-gaurds owning guns as guns "kill"  , and will rase hell if a movie is made where a kid uses a gun to defend himself or his loved ones, but wont say a word if the same kids got a crack pipe in his/her hand, will they. | |||

That guy was also a hunter. I remember seeing him on the American Sportsman series taking an Alaskan brown bear in the thick stuff. You could really tell that the stalk and shot had his adrenalin up. Not many like him around Hollywood these days. C.G.B. | |||
