I've been in the hunting business long enough to peg most of these guys including hunterJim...They are all first class gunscribes IMO..In fact I can't think of one gunscribe that I really dislike, I may not agree with them all the time, but I don't think they require me to do that...
I think some folks get to into personalities sometimes and draw conclusions or put gunscribes on a pedalstal with unrealistic ideals...If their writting entertains, educates or even aggrivates, then that is all that is required..
I loved old Elmer and I knew him personally, he was a great guy, and so was Jack O'Conner, but I'm pretty well convienced they really didn't care much for each other, yet they are both among the greats...I can't imagine growing up without Outdoor Life and those two old reprobates, and they were that! and their bantering made for some great reading!
