This isn't a question, but I've been rereading some of Gary's old "Backtracking" articles in Peterson's Hunting magazine back when he used the pen name Jacob Bowers. I sure miss his writing, he was quite good, and left us too soon.
I wish someone in the industry would put together a compilation of his best work from Huntng, Guns and Ammo and Handloader/The Rifle magazines (remember "Tales From French Creek?") like Elmer Keith's "Gun Notes" books.
