You old timers who have been on here a long time will probably remember him. I recently found out he had p[assed away about four months ago.
He use to make the memorials for members who have passed. Here's one he did....

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Ranger. I believe he ran the Canadian trapping forum. It's getting wild there now, hookers, scammers, but still some good stuff.
RIP Ranger.

RIP old friend.

If memory serves correctly he was on board with SPAV late 90s and then Otter Creek...sad to hear of his passing.

There was another fella by the name of Ray A who also enjoyed talking late evenings with Ranger. Lost track of him.

Some people are great contributors on here. I actually don't remember him but he surely sounds like a thoughtful person. Maybe someone creative will make a memorial for him.

Spent a lot of time chatting with Danny back in the SPAV and Otter Creek days. He was a good man and always
willing to help others. I have some pictures that he sent me years ago of his trapline in British Columbia. Saddens me to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace.
