I don't seem to get this one. A few, select members have chosen to help Ken thru what are clearly his last days.....while asking others for financial contributions.
I dunno who Ken is, and never followed his writings or career. His resume as an editor for Rifle Magazine (plus one or two others) and one published book doesn't speak of a renowned gunwriter. Perhaps his fame was mostly developed on this forum over this last decade? Maybe this is why I don't know of him? Maybe this is also why he needs financial assistance during his last years?
The photos of him at his house don't speak of a man who has many funds remaining. His seeking assistance from forum members here speaks of a tired, embattled, old man who has no friends and no help from his children, which he apparently has.
So, for those of you who promote him as a fallen hero and somehow deserves better than where he has ended up........I don't get it. The level of greatness that you have portrayed in this man would not have left him in this destitute situation at the end of his life in a small house in Quemado.

according the AZ boys, this is exactly WhiskeyMan's shtick (on the 8,000 other sites he's been banned from).
he's kinda the Keanu Reeves of hunting.

I saw the kind of POS this guy was from day one, and had him on ignore right quick.
this doesn't surprise me from the souless [bleep] he's proven time and again to be.
GTF out of here, can you not see no one wants you around? do you have to be Banned to get the idea? you're like the mutt that never leaves even though everyone ignores it. I bet your mama is proud of the "man" you've turned out to be.

Ken Howell seems like a solid, decent member of the hunting community. In my limited interactions with him, mostly in PM's talking New Mexico because Quemado was a childhood stomping ground of mine, he has been funny, polite, and a gentleman.
He has also handled his last months with grace, around here anyway. We should all be so... graceful.
Whiskeyman, I don't know you. But your post was callous, arrogant, and on top of that- apropo of nothing.
