Fred Bear once called him "the world's greatest hunter", likely because he led Fred to places few bowhunters had gone, and to deeds few bowhunters had dared. He did it with such skill and confidence that some of the hunts were famously captured on film.
I am sure Fred has some good spots picked just waiting for Ed to guide him again.
