I grew up less than an hour from Milek's home. Always hoped I'd run into him somewhere but did not get that privilege. I'm blessed to still hunt in some of the areas he wrote about. I suppose he should get some of the credit/blame for my affinity to Contenders and the 25-06. There was always a stack of gun magazines in the bunkhouse, cow camp, or sheep wagon and Bob's articles were usually the first ones read.
