I think the question should have been, Are gun writers for real? I have a pen pal who is an Alaskan guide. He took one of our illustrious gun magazine writers out on a trip. This supposedly good hangun hunter shot and wounded an animal( I forget what it was) about 6 times, finally used a rifle and shot the poor critter several times more. Finally my pen pal had to finish the animal off. I am beginning to think most of these gun writers are full of bull.
There was an article in one of the gun magazines about 30 + years ago, where this fellow was at one time a game warden in Mexico. He writes of a "well known" gun writer that he arrested for killing two does out of season in Mexico. He could not believe his eyes, when he read that these two does became "magnificent bucks" when the writer wrote up the story on his hunt. From some of the books I have read, I would not be surprised the the doe shooters initials were J O'C.
Maybe one has to be full of blarney to be a gun writer.
