I never had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman in person and only knew Don vicariously through his writing, this board and probably the old board. He will be missed by his friends and his readers but not forgotten.

My condolences to his family and friends.

May he live on in our memories

Gentlemen -

Thanks for your kind words and memories of my dad. And a special thank you to his good friend Daryl for the love and respect you always showed him.

Here is a picture from his last hunt (a dove hunt in Lubbock TX) where he still had me shagging birds like I did 50 years ago!!

Sad reading of his passing. Never knew the gentleman, but would have liked to. He does leave a fine legacy from having touched many a person who never had the pleasure of knowing him personally. That's saying a lot in this day and time. God speed to him and His blessings to those left behind to adjust to the loss and smile w/every memory.

I had the Honor and the Pleasure of hunting with Don and Daryl on the great plains of Saskatchewan some years back. It was one of the best trips I have been on, in my long life. Go with God, my old friend.....

I use a “Hardin Crimp” when loading short shells. Basically this means cutting down the hull and using an overshot card to fill the gap at top. Does anyone know if Don was the person that this is named for?

It is always sad to see a fellow SxS enthusiast pass.

Don Hardin had interests in more than doubles and hunting. He was an avid fly fisherman. When teaching at Texas Western [Now University of Texas El Paso] he would often hike alone into the mountains in search of trout. His home later was near the Bitterroot River. He enjoyed that location. Don had a hobby of making bamboo flyrods. They were well done and he made one for me. After I quit trout fishing, I presented the rod to my nephew who guides fishermen around Jackson Hole. Rod materials are different nowadays, but my nephew enjoys using a bamboo rod on occasion. He described using Don's bamboo rod like driving a fine vintage car.

Or- taking a clean double in the air over a solid point with a Boss or Purdey smallbore-- I still a few of my R.L. Winston cane rods, from the early Stoner-Merrick era, a Gary Howells and a pre-fire Leonard. All Steinways. RWTF

Daryl, You are blessed to have such good friends.
It's nice to feel a little more connected to a favorite author.


Out there doing it best I can.
