In today's atmosphere of PC and moral equivalence a lot of people feel threatened by anyone who's sure of himself and certain in his beliefs. Hence the controversial aspect of writers like Cooper, Keith and Ross. They wrote about things they had experienced and knew well, and therefore could draw logical conclusions.
I think Dan hit it above as to why Ross left a certain magazine. They forced him to go (at very short notice) shoot a deer in Mexico with a Vanguard in 300 Roy. Huh??
Can you imagine anything less Seyfriedesque?
Ross is one of the very few people alive today that I would really like to meet and get to know. I wish he'd compile a book version of his writings.
