Anyone heard from this gent outside of this forum? He was always very helpful. I see he hadn't posted in 2 years and I was wondering if he changed venues or just stopped coming.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ron up near our camp in Pennsylvania. He used to hunt out of a nearby camp near Parker Dam in Clearfield. A nicer guy you'd never want to meet. He was very knowledgeable about many topics. Sadly, Ron left us a couple years ago. Ron is truly one of the guys I can't wait to hunt with when I get to the other side.
Miss you buddy-keep the coffee hot.

I too shared the pleasure of several meet, greet, and eat sessions with Ron in DuBois during deer season. Plus many email conversations.
He shore had a purty tomato stake that he used for hunting,

This is sad news...I never met him man to man, but felt like I knew a bit about him through this place.
I too took a knee from the fire for a while, but not a permanent knee. I am afraid to ask about some of the others I have enjoyed over the years.

I met up with Ron at a gunshop near where he lived in Ohio, which happens to be near where my sister/BIL lives. He showed up with all kind of plans for shooting at a range and spending the day talking guns and eating, but I don't get to see my sister very often and had to decline. Nice guy, he was.

Fatjack, Yooper35 passed a year or so ago also.I think he told me he was 85 and had begun to sell off his collection to save his wife the trouble. Every now and then an old thread will pop up and I'll see some of the old names and wonder if they are doing well. Folks interests and circumstances change and sometimes they just wonder off. Maybe the internet is a good thing. When some one does a search and it brings up an old post, we get to read the wisdom that was shared by the old guys. Here's a toast to all the good guys that have left us, "Cheers", Joe.

No, he's alive, but a few folks have been posting about him in the Classifieds about being ripped of by him. BobinNH died, if you remember him and a few more.

It is a small world sometimes. I grew up in DuBois and both Ron and gophergunner had mentioned hunting camps in the area. One thing led to another and our first meet and eat turned into an all afternoon BS session. Somewhere I have a photo of 6 shady looking hunters posing with their trusty deer rifles. Dale

Well, a bunch of guys carrying 99's can't be all that bad.
