I have known and liked Ray for about 30 years, and count him as a friend (may be embellished but I met him about the time my 30 year-old daughter was born) and have shared lots of work & relaxation time with him. We never had the opportunity to go "hunting" but have shared stories & have similar backgrounds, ranch raised, & career choices over the years, and I can say that there is not a man alive that I would rather have at my back when I needed someone in that position. I have no idea about the problems noted in this thread, but I will be in contact with Ray both online & personally this winter just like always, and you can be sure that all this will be the last thing talked about.
