The Passing of Bob Hice

July 19, 2006

I was reading on Outdoors with Othmar Vohringer and discover that Bob Hice founder of Tree Lounger past away. I won’t rewrite what Othmar has already said so well and hope you go over to his site and read his post.
I will say that like many I met Bob years ago at a local hunting show. As a hunter he stood in the shadow of his wife Margaret who did most of the hunting on their movies. This was a bold move on their part in the early days when few women were seen in mass media hunting. I think we can all agree that as brilliant and cutting edge his stand was when it came on the market so was his marketing plan. The Hice’s I believe made some great contributions to the sport and the preservation of hunting by showing Margaret killing some nice deer year after year. I offer my sincerest condolences to the family. I’m sorry for the family’s loss and the hunting world lost a good man as well.
