Fred Abbas

- Co-Host of TV’s A-Way Outdoors

- Ranks #1 all-time in the state of Michigan for Trophy Buck entries in the record books.

- Currently has 41 bucks registered in the trophy books of CBM, Pope & Young, Buckmasters and Longhunters
Society. Most of them taken with bow.

- The only Michigan hunter to officially tag and register 4 trophy book bucks in one year (1990, the last year to
have a 4 buck limit.) During this feat, Fred spent 88 straight days afield. (And still married)

- Current record holder of Hillsdale County’s non-typical bow kill, 183.5 gross.

- Inventor of the Bowgrunter Plus, Scent Web, and several other hunting aids.

- Outdoor Writer

- Took early retirement to devote full time to hunt Michigan trophy bucks.

- Invented 2 new and effective calling techniques for “social” and “rutting” situations

One of the most humble and likable people you’ll ever meet, Fred is well know for developing his own unique and innovative deer hunting tactics that he readily shares in his stories and interviews. He has a large following through his informative family oriented outdoor articles and his seminars. He has the rare ability to invent his own tactics (some used only one time to fool and harvest a specific buck) and deer hunting aids to outsmart even the wisest of whitetails.
