Fails both GNG and WP:AUTHOR. There is a non-trivial mention from Field and Stream, but it mostly concerns a single work of the author and not the author himself. The other refs are from unreliable sources or the author's own website. Alex Eng ( TALK ) 06:47, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Re: WP: Author.... "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." See above reference to Field and Stream which discusses a cited and respected theory of hunting ethics.

Re: GNG: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject..." In addition to published work (two novels, two anthologies, countless magazine articles), author is Editor-in-chief of the magazine Big Sky Journal, and has thus received, and continues to receive, significant coverage. He is central to the literary community in the Rocky Mountain West. http://bigskyjournal.com/ http://bigskyjournal.com/about A recent profile / interview in the magazine Montana Quarterly... http://www.allenmorrisjones.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Montana-Quarterly-Interview.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Montana Reader (talk • contribs) 15:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
