Even without charging money, “publishing” copyright material without the written permission of the copyright owner is illegal. If you publicly offered to send it to anybody who asked, that would probably be considered publishing.

I've only been shooting for a few years, but I'm where I am in life (which ain't bad) because of Peter Egan's writing in Cycle World and Road & Track. Started in on that when I was 13. He's faded in recent years, but it'll be a huge loss when he is gone.

Well, for some reason, I don't have an edit option for my post, so please pretend there is a line crossing over the sentence about sharing what I have with others.
I hope everyone realizes I didn't have any nefarious intentions and just hoped to help others. My apologies to those who may have been offended by my post. I appreciate the legal warning.
Sincerely,
Mike

Interesting that no "gun writer" commented on the OP. Speaks volumes...

Ed,
Evidently you missed the 5th post on this thread:
“I would like to see a collection of his pieces too, but doubt it will happen, for several reasons. First, books of hunting/shooting essays and stories don't sell very well, unless the author is quite famous--which leads to the second reason. Gary has been gone a decade now, and wasn't writing for a while before he passed away, so isn't exactly a well-known name among today's readers. Third, there might be complications due to copyright ownership.”

Of everything I read that Gary Sitton wrote, I remember best his article exposing the funds raised by anti-hunting groups and how little they actually spent on animal welfare. It was a damned fine piece of investigative reporting, and it was written in a clear, straightforward style that was easy to read.
Other outdoor writers, including me, used quotes and data from that article for years.
He spent his final years in Tucson, and was a good friend of one of my friends. He also attended a party at our home and we bumped into each other infrequently around town, but I can't say I ever got to know him.
