If so, it's a heck of a long safari. I don't think he took that much ammo. smile

Well the Africa Forum is certainly a lesser place without him, but thenagain, how much abuse can a man take and to what end? I consider him a friend and I miss him. He's gone totally "dark." jorge

Another vote for AD. In my opinion, his were routinely excellent, logical, helpful and experience-based posts. This forum is not nearly as good without his input.

Come back Allen.

I too believe him to be "on safari". Hope he comes back with more love for the 338-06 although for sure he took his beloved 338 win mag! smile

....Allen is a very knowledgeable and expierenced hunter who's well spoken communications on hunting and firearms certainly adds to any forum such as our Campfire. I hope he is enjoying good health and fortune, and will return soon.

Allen has chossen not to post on the internet at the present time. Perhaps he will change his mind in the near future. I miss his post as well. But he said that posting was taking up too much of his time, perhaps he just got tired of the BS.



I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

that's a bummer but it do happen. I hope it wasn't the BS that chased him off -- there is a "silent majority" that looked forward to his opinion.

I miss his posts on all the forums, not just the African. I didn't always believe everything he said, but at least he was well-reasoned enough that he would get me thinking even if I did disagree with him.

The Problem with AD was that he had very strong opinions based upon years and years of successful hunting.

That is a bad combination for the internet where guys just have to have a keyboard to be an "expert."

I miss his posts too.

But, I don't miss being jealous of his safaris . . . . . . sick wink

What a loss for this forum. AD spent some time on the phone with me when I had a ton of questions and he was always willing to offerr solid advice from his experience.

Allen had a ton of relevant experience there's no doubt about that, but he had real trouble with anything that didn't agree with his experience. If you weren't shooting A-Frames or Partitions out of a Echols tuned Model 70, you might as well have been hunting with a club.

Anybody else notice MuleDeer's very thinly veiled reference to Allen Day in his Rifles & Woodsmoke column entitled "Sentiment" in Rifle #239? I'll eat my hat if paragraphs 2-4 aren't Allen Day.

AD has lots of experience and knowledge, but his opinions were never even sorta maybe restricted to just that. Indeed the cover a much much broader base and with more arrogance than his experiences dictates reasonable.
