My wife’s grandfather was good friends and hunting buddies with Mr. Wayne. From what I’m told Grandpa Ray actually took Wayne who was a teenager at the time on a hunt where he harvested his first buck. Just a small spike but was told it still hangs on his office wall with all the other 150”+ he has taken. Wayne wrote about him in some books/articles and called him one of his mentors and an expert deer hunter. Grandpa Ray passed away before I joined the family, but man how I wish I could’ve been around to share the woods with both of them.
