I haven’t been able to get into the website since it had a catastrophic failure. I have just got into the website and noted there has not been a gun notes posted since October 2022. I come to the forum every day. Will we see the gun notes again Gary? You are a faved gun writer by me.
The last few Gun Notes I wrote seemed to be

me telling a joke people had already heard several times. The various gun companies have their own little version of my Gun Notes with guys that don't know what is going on in the gun industry. They only know what the gun companies have told them to say and do.
A couple of times I got about half way thru the newest Gun Notes and just for the heck of it I went to this forum and there was already all the new things I was writing about shown on here and some of the new guns already owned and shot by the new owners. My Gun Notes wasn't what it started out to be 20 years ago, which was telling folks about the newest guns that were ready to be released or news about a new gun that was coming soon. All of a sudden my new gun news was old news.
I enjoyed writing the Gun Notes but I just seemed I was writing last months news and telling last months jokes. For those that read my Gun Notes every month I appreciate you and who knows, it may come back.

and just a thought for you other followers. We all have seen hundreds of pictures over the years of Gary's hunts, from Africa to Tennessee and even down under in Aussie land. I would be interested in just hearing the story behind an individual picture. Pick one and write the story behind it, we have all enjoyed the Nigali swimming in the pond, or the alaskan black bear hunt, and the latest African lion hunt, but there has to be hundreds more to relish. Even his book on hunting cant contain them all. What do you guys think ?
I agree with both of you.

Not only the stories about hunting and behind the scenes of custom work, but maybe a back story of how Gary came up with all the different cartridges.
Yes that would be totally amazing

It would be great to hear and see (in photo form) the how-it's-done of revolver building, rifle revitalizing and various other behind the scenes project work. Some may already have experience in gunsmithing work but I would imagine most have not. Just a thought.
