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

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.....

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...
