Ted Nelson Lundrigan
 

Very sad news to report that Ted Lundrigan, 72, of Pine River, MN, passed away Sunday, August 30. He was a Vietnam vet, graduate MN Law School, and founding member of the Deep Portage Leaning Center. Ted was an avid grouse hunter and accomplished writer, authoring three books: Hunting the Sun, Grouse and the lesser Gods, and A bird in the Hand. He was a Parker gun fan and will be missed by many of his grouse hunting readership.

RIP

just reread "Hunting the Sun" a couple weeks ago

the good ones are fast in passing...my condoleces to the family....charlie

Sad news indeed! What a loss...

I really enjoy his writing style and will begin re-reading “Hunting the Sun” this evening in his memory.





.

Dean, in my opinion Ted's first book "Hunting the Sun", with a foreword by Michael McIntosh, belongs in every grouse hunter's library and every bit in the spirit of Spiller, Foster, and Evans. Bon Appetite!

Sorry to hear that news.

There are a few stories that I simply cannot read without tearing up, among them Gene Hill's Old Tom, John Hewitt's Bobwhites, Doctors, and Hunts Remembered...and Ted Lundrigan's The Watch. Thank you for that Ted; Rest in Peace.

Man that is sad news ,I absolutely loved his books I always wanted to drop him a line sounded like a real died in the wool hard core grouse hunter

I met Ted several years ago at a Cross Lake, MN antique and classic boat show. Ted always brought an original Shell Lake square stern duck boat powered by an 3hp Evinrude Ducktwin. He would do his "fly by" at the beginning of the show rather than get swallowed up by the 30' Chris Crafts at the end. He had a wonderful sense of humor and as we all know and a true knack for writing a story.
It was my privilege to restore a dandy little Penn Yan Kingfisher square stern canoe for him and later build him a Barnegat Bay sneakbox. We enjoyed his company at the boat show several years. I have all his grouse books, each with a pleasant inscription. The plan was to hunt grouse with him and it never worked out. We were both Army medics and that is as far as the stories went. Please pardon my rambling, he became my friend and I will miss knowing he is not there hunting grouse and plan another story
