I liked Finn a bunch too and enjoyed the backpage stories by Gary Sitton.
Finn Aagaard and Milek were favorites. I was also influenced by some of the Hoffman's writings that along with Agaard got me started thinking about Africa. Also liked Boddington's writing back then and read some Chuck Adams, too. Our scool library had several O'Connor books, which I enjoyed and still think he was a great writer. Those books are the reasons I like .270s, .257s and 7x57s, all of which O'connor advocated. Hemmingway also had an effect on my hunting thought process, but in a different way. Never got into Keith despite being a huge handgunner my whole life and a mega fan of the .44 Mag. Never gotten through his book and don't remember being that interested in his articles.
