Seeing this thread about my old hunting and gun buddy sure brought back some fine memories. AD and I made a couple hunts together and had more planned until his illness changed everything. I miss our weekly phone visits and numerous emails to discuss guns, cartridges, optics and hunting! He was a no BS guy and when he talked I listened because he was the real deal. I think I learned a lot more from him than he did from me, and I still miss him to this day. Never spent a day afield with a finer human being.
