I hate to break up the Taffin lovefest here, but I think most folks like him simply because he's one of the only guys that ever writes about single actions, besides that other fat guy.
I'd love to see another writer come along with similar interests, but who actually goes outdoors every day. I read these magazines to dream about the adventures I can't have right now, due to economic or geographical conditions.
Every time I read an article of Taffin's where he actually went outdoors, the hunting part generally mentions "resting my gun on the hood of the truck", or "after seeing the animal fall, I turned around and got back in the truck".... Just because you're not on an actual road, doesn't mean you're not a road hunter. I realise that, as you get older, or your body wears out, you're not gonna hike as far, but come ON! I just had my spine fused almost a year ago, but if I can't do it right, I wait until I feel better, and do it then.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
