I've known Ross for thirty years or so, and consider him to be a friend. Yes, he is opinionated, but I respect his opinions. Best I can tell, he is usually right. I've enjoyed visiting with him about his elk herd management and hunting enterprise. As I recall, he described it as, "I just wanted to prove that a fellow could make a living on a ranch without having a single cow." We've both had cows.
I can only add that after a very pleasant dinner at the SHOT show in Vegas, Ross insisted on picking up the check for my wife and I. When a former pistol champion tells you in a certain tone of voice that he is getting the check, you thank him kindly. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times that has happened in forty years. I considered him a friend even before he picked up the check!
