2003 Fall Black Bear Bowhunt With Fred Lutger
by Robert Hoague

GO TO: 2003 Bear Hunts Home Page

Kirby Knackstedt

Kirby brought 12 bowhunters with him on this trip. His first bear hunt was in 1993, with Fred Lutger's Wilderness Bowhunts. Since then Kirby has bear hunted with Fred 6 times, bringing a group of local bowhunters with him each time.

Kirby began bowhunting when he was 23. He has his own small archery shop, B & K Hunting Supplies -- a popular meeting place of local bowhunters around Alhambra, Illinois. He is a Drury Outdoors TV Show team member and is pro staff for High Country Archery. He has bowhunted whitetail, elk, mulies, wild turkey and black bears. His favorite is whitetail.

Kirby grew up in Alhambra, Illinois. There were hardly any deer in the area when he was a kid and now there are "plenty, and lots of big bucks".
