I've known Dave "Doc" for 40 plus years. Did lots of bird hunting and a little bit of beer drinking. He was a good mechanic and a great welder. He finished his welding career on the North Slope. If you were broken down at four in the morning 20 miles from town in freezing weather he would come fix your rig or get you home. No better friend than that. Have a good hunt Doc.
