As bow season gets underway this fall, we are reminded of an occurrence back in 1969 that was reported on Michigan Outdoors, which makes a good Shoebox Memory. Any of our Southeast Michigan Pasty Cammers remember Mort Neff? He was on the air from 1951 in the Detroit television market to 1974 , when his young assistant Fred Trost took over as host. The guys would often make a trek to the U.P., covering stories of every-day folks who would bag the biggest moose or catch the longest fish. It's the incredible tale of wild macaroni... which they say goes great with grilled snipe.

Have a good week :o)

On 28 on the way to Marquette there is a sign that says Trost and I always wondered if that was Fred's place.

no it wasn't fred but he and the crew stopped there on one of his trips funny stuff, loved mort an fred miss them both.

Mort Neff, Fred Trost, and a third guy named Jerry Chipetta (sp?)......loved all their shows.I remember Fred getting a little controversial towards the end of his show.

Neat shot over the bow!:>

Was that first aired on April 1?

Growing up, Thursday night wasn't complete without watching Mort Neff!

Do recall seeing this video before; not sure if it was when it was 1st broadcast or not.

I remember this show so well Fred Trost.
I remember Mort Neff real well. My folks always watched this show. I am glad I grew up watching it! Thanks for the memory!
