Jerry,
Chuck Hawks is not very well thought of by the bloggers on Huntingnet.com.
My impressions are that they don’t think he is very knowledgeable.
It seems that they think he is influenced by the manufactures (money, equipment, etc.) he speaks highly of.
I brought up his name a few times and I got an ear full of, “what does he know……………….”.
I was going to say something to you about using him as a reference, but I figured it won’t take long……………..and you’ll see for yourself.
