JohnBurns, I am sure Mule Deer can also verify that fact that gunwriters, both old and new, are not always as honest in their stories as folks wish to believe. Even Jack who, as great a gun writer as he was, often told stories that shed him, and Eleanor, in the best light.
If you are such a real fan of his take a close look at many of his photos and you will find than on more than one example there are photos of the same animal taken from a slightly different angle with Jack in one and Eleanor in another and each of them is credited with killing the same animal with a different rifle !
