That's a real shame, I remember him from back on the HuntAmerica days, before AR.com existed if I remember correctly. In any case, Don's expertise will really be missed, I always liked listening to stories about him and his .280 Mountain rifle. God speed, Don, you were one of the first and one of the best, no coincidence!

The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark

Seemed like a good guy, I only knew him as a fellow poster on the Huntamerica forums and I could tell he was a reasonable and knowledgeable character about guns.

Leftists are intellectually vacant, but there is no greater pleasure than tormenting the irrational.

I hadn't been to that board in years, but in the early days, Don and I traded many stories about the effectiveness of a properly-placed Ballistic Tip into a deer's vitals. He had run up an impressive total of one-shot, in-their-tracks stops using, IIRC, a .280.

He was a good guy and willing to share his knowledge. Rest in peace, Don. My prayers are with you and your family tonight.

What a shame, Back in the day Don was one of the reasons you went to Huntamerica. I hook up with him and some of the others at the Suffern NY. Good guy, loved the 280 Remington.

Don was a very nice fellow; he and I hunted groundhogs together a couple of times.

He will be missed.
