Yep,I met Andy in 1970 and he was genuine, but, very much of a showman and not shy about self promotion.

This, is not uncommon with the various GOs, etc. that service the foreign hunters who come to BC-AB to collect trophies and seems part of what the dudes expect and pay for.

In contrast, the real bushmen I have known are often shy, but, with strong opinions when you get to know them. These tend to be introverts, which one would certainly never say about Andy!
