Suprised to not see it over here yet.

Rest in Piece.

He was my original hunting idol. An Everyman's hunter. Loved his books and his Outdoor Life Column.

Sorry to hear that. My whole family enjoyed his books, so much so my Mother came to refer to my childhood friend Randy and I as "Pat and Crazy Eddie." RIP.

Rest In Peace Pat. I also grew up reading his tales in Outdoor Life. I still refer to my sons boat as “ Old Stump Jumper”.

In keep 3-4 of his books in my camping trailer to read when I am in camp at night. Love his humor. He will be missed.

I love his writing, sad to see him go.

Always cracked up reading his stories. I also searched for his hidden "NINA" in the sketches he made.

I've laughed at his stories until I had tears rolling down my face. Ol' Man Grogan shooting army helmets behind his store still kills me.

Myself, my dad, uncle and cousin all used to very much enjoy his books. They were often Christmas presents for each other. Some of his stories were not so far from reality and easily relatable growing up in the UP. His work sure brought a bunch of laughs in our family. He will be missed. RIP.

I loved reading his books growing up. My dad would give me the books for Christmas, or birthday. His story about the "no frills" mountain car was one of my favorites. I think it was a mountain car named "Mrs. Peabody" after his teacher. Thanks Pat for all the laughs.

It wouldn't be uncommon for me to go right to the back page, read his, then read the rest. RIP!

I was thinking about my favorite stories last night, I forgot about the "Miracle of Fish Plate", that is a good one.

At one point I could have probably recited several of his books nearly verbatim. Many of his memorable quotes became part of our hunting vocabulary among several friends who shared my appreciation for his humor.

huronmtns · Apr 18, 2018

The "two footed punt" and "split shot" are a couple of my favorites.

ShootsManyBullets · Apr 18, 2018

I remember skipping to the back page for years just to read his stories. Like a lot of people here I grew up reading his stories too. Recently I stumbled into the Bo Tully mysteries and have thoroughly enjoyed them and the "Blight Way". He was a one of a kind for sure and will be missed.

Always loved his stories, and books. R.I.P.
