I just finished reading through for the second time Mike's "BEST GUNS". He was a talented writer with an obvious love of his subject. Perhaps he and Ansley are together roaming the Elysian fields. He will be missed!

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully he and Ansley can shoot some long yardage Pigeons in the great beyond. With both our moves around the country we fell out of touch over the last decade. Make the effort to stay in touch.

Sorry to hear this. I guess we are all a bit grey in the temples. Enjoy yourselves in the time we have left. Saturday, I was at a wonderful Columbaire shoot and saw many fine guns, many fine cars, and a dark haired young person. She was serving lunch. Soon as she appeared, she was gone.

I am very sorry to hear of Michael's passing. I am a great fan of his writing's. The doublegun community will miss him.

We are diminished; my best to friends and family. I think a great show of respect is to read one of his works in the next few days.
Respectfully, Austin |

Michael McIntosh
I had the opportunity to hunt with MM in Idaho one yearon a Shooting Sportsman week end at the Flying B Ranch. The two of us spent an afternoon hunting grouse and had a blast riding back down the mountain setting of the top of the dog box on a jeep and drinking warm beer and smoking a great cigar. Michael was always very much aware of his hair and flowing beard and the angle of the pipe in the corner of his mouth.

I am shocked! Michael McIntosh has long been my favorite contemporary sporting writer. A Wordsmith who attained the level of "Master" long ago. I especially loved his occasional controversial opinions--certainly added color! Just happens I'm currently reading "Best Guns" for about the third time......
God speed, Michael. |

The current Shooting Sportsman has what may be the last Michael McIntosh article unless he had already sent one to Steve Smith for the next issue. As usual, the article was well written and knowledgeable, and generated discussion. It was about chokes and single selective triggers being unnecessary.
MM was a luminary gun writer and follows a long of writers we grew up with. These good and great writers help keep interest alive. |
