Nope...

But when men like Alan Black say they worshipped his shadow....you get an inkling that he was the real deal....

Whats a 260?


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

I knew Bell was an Ivory hunter.... I didn't know he was also a soldier, aviator, painter, safari guide...... list kept going.... JOC's one of my outdoor heroes but he didn't have half the resume.....

I loved reading O'Connor his writings are eloquent, but Bell was a one of a kind and a very astute individual

Another good read is Brian Herne's "White Hunters" kind of a who's who with something interesting on every page...
