Ross is doing well and still writing regularly for the Double Gun Journal. He has become a close friend and mentor to me over the past few years. His skills as a writer are, in my mind, without equal in the outdoor world. Interestingly, his skills as a gunmaker are equally impressive.

Woodhits, glad to hear Ross is doing well and it would be difficult to find a better mentor.

Woodhits, last I heard he was living a few miles east of me here in Oklahoma. If that is accurate. Is that still true?

And opinions
Which is one reason people liked him Funny story Phil, when I told Ross I shot a bighorn with a Nosler Accubond I thought he was going to slap me upside the head, seriously..... he hated tipped bullets at the time. For him I had no excuse for not using a Failsafe (his fave at the time) a Partition or an x bullet. Early in his carrier he was a Elmer Keith schooled magnum guy, the 340 Wby was just right. He did change his position and came to the conclusion a 270 with a great bullet would kill anything that walked and he was pleased I used a 270 on the sheep....

Muledeer does an exceptional job as a writer these days. I always look forward to his stuff. He does not puff himself up and gets the message across well. Ross came across pretty well, just not with the same humility, writers entertain us....or they disappear.

But the fact that he liked taking cheap shots deriding Muledeer, Brian and myself didn't help either.

Sad thing is, most don't know who your talking about...😁🖕😎 Kind of a trip down memory lane.. OP started in 2004, stopped in 2006 and 12 yrs, 3 months later it’s revived Just happened to come across the information I posted and felt that this was as good a place to put it as any. I've known Ross for about 30 years and remember talking to him as he was getting ready to head off to Africa for the season. I also remember an interview he did for american handgunner in the 80's which gave contact info for CGS if anyone wanted to book with them and have Ross as a PH. I've hunted with him, stayed in his house, and bought and traded guns with him. I have found him gracious, generous, honest, humble and always very helpful. Of course YMMV.

.458 win, we are very lucky to have contributers, like yourself . This gives the average hunter a glimpse into the hunting/ shooting business. I like it.

Please pass along my regards. Ross’s work has been extremely helpful over the years. When I have followed his advice on muzzleloading, bulletcasting, handloading, or just about any other topic he wrote about; the results turned out exactly as he said they would.
