Green with envy? LOL, no way! It's the rifle I don't like, JOC was ok, just not my favorite back then.

However I was into precision target shooting as well as woods hunting with a .358 Win. JOC did none of that.

JOC wrote well of pursuing a big horn ram high in the Rockies.

He did not do well with his chapter "Picking your expert" in "The Hunting Rifle".

He wrote about the late Col. Townsend Whelen.

"Towney was a prolific writer.. Actually in a long but thin carreer as a big game hunter Col. Whelen shot no vast amount of game. What he did shoot was mostly deer. I believe he killed only on grizzly in his life and only four mountain sheep. .............."

And on and on Jack goes ripping every other gun writer.

I have lost respect for Jack O. after reading what he wrote about others.
