There are some very good magazines getting started like Western Hunting and they have very passionate hunters writing articles but that they could use your help on teaching them how to tell a story with words.
I think there are some decent story tellers out there, but not many that know firearms, scopes, and loads like John. His knowledge of these subjects, and hunting, are broad, with writings that challenge old beliefs. I don't think there is another writer today that is on the same level, not even close. I'm not well versed on all the gunwriters that have passed, but I suspect that none meet this bar either.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything today that would continue this quality of work when John "retires". I'd be great if there was someone that John and Eileen could take under their wings, and continue what they have created. It'd be a continuation of their work on firearms, hunting, cooking, and game preparation.
