Bayou Bill Scrifes has passed away!

[Field King]

Bill passed Oct. 20, A man I admired thru his articles, I met him once at the Boat sport and travel show about 1978, he was manning a booth along side George Tilford (onother outdoorsman) selling their book "lets go fishing". As a youngster I loved reading his outdoor articles in the Star and News and thought I was meeting a hero! A real Indiana outdoors Icon! Link Bayou Bill's All Outdoors Home Page, Bill Scifres

Didn't he pass last month? I did enjoy his articles in the papers and mags.

Loved his articles. He will be missed. More outdoor columns are needed.

OLE BILL THE ONLY GUY IN INDIANA THAT COULD PRINT THE WRONG OPENING DAY OF SQUIRREL SEASON. I MET HIM YEARS AGO HE SAID HEY ITS THE SAME DATE EVERY YEAR BUT THE STAR GETS NEW PRINTERS FROM TIME TO TIME THAT SCREW THINGS UP

I admired his writing as well. I have treasured a copy of his Indiana Outdoors book for many years. I always hoped he would do an updated version of it.
