I used to have a link to a bunch of Ron’s stories from the “old day and ways”, I think it was on the website for his fishing lodge. I’m not sure if it disappeared after he sold the lodge or what but I haven’t been able to locate it. Whatever he was he was certainly a character the times I visited with him.
I cleaned up all his guns in anticipation of them being put up on GB. He had some pretty neat stuff, most all hard used and practical type firearms. He was a big 300wby fan iirc. Had a much worn 4” M57 S&W with scrimshaw walrus ivory grips. The scrimshaw had a bear and “Ron Hayes the Alaskan Outlaw”.
As was said, ethics notwithstanding, he’s seen some things and can definitely tell a tale.
