I read quite a bit in the elk hunting section as well as others, even post a time or two. I can't recall RA standing out as an expert or helping with advice. I'm sure he's done some, but the top elk hunter and authority on this site? I've noticed his name a few times and that's it, nothing special as elk hunting isn't rocket science.
We have a few elk hunters here in Az that don't take a back seat to anyone, same in Utah and NM. And have probably posted as much or more somewhere.
I'm sure RA is good, I'm sure he is the best in his honeyholes, and so is everyone else that works their butt off and is good.
What contribution can any of us give about elk hunting, calling, meat care, ect... That others don't or won't give also. The message will still get out.
Nothing against Ray as I don't know him, just the weirdness of the man crush on this thread.
