Robert (Bob) Fassbinder was born in Elkader, Iowa in 1946. He grew up on a small farm in Clayton County which had a large timber and two creeks nearby where he spent much of his free time. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Navy and was trained in electronics. After discharge he enrolled at Iowa State University and graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering. While attending ISU, Robert met and married the love of his life, (Kathy). The two then moved to Des Moines, Iowa. There he worked as an electrical engineer for a power company for three years, all the while learning of his true passion, to be a beekeeper. In the spring of 1976, Bob, Kathy and two children (Anne and Ben) moved back to Northeast Iowa to start their bee business. Bow hunting had already captured their attention while in college, but moving back to the hills of Northeast Iowa, the sport for them exploded! After spending countless hours in nearby timbers, he has decided to share with others the phenomenon of bed-hunting whitetails, which taps into the science of the deer’s world. This is their story.
