I said from the beginning that I admired Ross's knowledge, writing skills and abilities as a shooter.
I also know he spent time on safaris in Zambia over number of years and at the time getting someone to sign you off for PH license was possible.
But flying over and doing a few short safaris, usually guiding friends, over a period of X number of years , does not mean you have X number years of African experience as a PH as was claimed in some articles.

And while he could be charming for an admiring fan, he could also be less than.
There are very sound reasons why he never seemed to stay with any publication for very long.

From a readers standpoint Ross was one of the best .
