RIP Charles Alsheimer

Last night I was scrolling through youtube and came across a video that said "Remembering Charles Alsheimer". I had recently watched some videos from him a couple of weeks ago and had also read a recent article written by him not too long ago. So, I was like "what are they remembering him for?" Obviously it didn't take me long to figure out that Charlie had passed unexpectedly on Dec 30th. For those of you who don't recognize the name (I'm sure most of you do), Charles Alsheimer is probably the most knowledgeable outdoor writer/photographer there is. He was a senior editor for Deer & Deer Hunting magazine and he is big reason for the success of that publication over the years. I'm not sure if there are many people who have studied deer behavior and biology as much as he did. He is also one of the first to be able to make accurate movement predictions based on moon phase. Of all the famous researchers/hunters out there he was easily my favorite. Whenever I wanted to learn certain aspects of deer behavior I would just google his name along with whatever it was I was looking for an answer on. Many, many times I found good reliable info from some kind of research that he had done. It's a shame he is gone much too soon (age 70). He actually had harvested a decent buck earlier in the month at his home in New York. I'm just glad to know he was also a man of deep faith and someday I'll be able to hunt with him in the great forest in the sky. Hopefully, you will too. RIP Charles and thanks for greatly increasing my knowledge of these crazy animals we call whitetails.
