So sorry to hear this. Dwight is and has always been in my top three or four outdoor writers. To still be going strong at his age is an inspiration, but unfortunately it ends for all of us at some time. I hope this isn't his. Prayers for Dwight and family.

One of the truly good guys. Sad to hear. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I met him at the Edmonton, Alberta P&Y convention in 1997 and took the opportunity to tell him how much I enjoyed his writing - I'm glad I did.
I caught a glimpse of him at the 2017 convention in St. Louis and was planning to talk to him when the opportunity seemed right, but I didn't run into him again. He looked very thin and I suspected something was wrong.

Dwight is a good friend. My son got to share a goose hunting pit with him a couple years ago. A couple of days later I showed my son Dwight on BOWHUNTERTV and explained to him the same guy on TV was the guy sitting next to him goose hunting my son thought that was pretty awesome. As some of you know he has been fighting Cancer for many years and fighting hard. This is an aggressive Pneumonia that has hit him hard and the Dr.'s are having a hard time getting on top of it. It's serious and yes please join in "Healing Prayers" and specifically to CLEAR Dwight's lungs! Prayers buddy!

At the P and Y banquet in Lancaster a while back I was having my copy the new Traditional record book signed by friends as well as “famous“ attendees . As I walked into a restroom Dwight was washing his hands I thought his would be a good addition to the memento.
As he passed me I said I don’t normally talk to strange men in bathrooms but would you mind signing this... Dwight said “ we’ll dont start now”. lol
He poked his head backed into the door and said he was in a rush for a meeting and track him down over the next couple of days and he would be happy to.. lol

I grew up reading his articles in Bowhunter. He always had me daydreaming about wild places and awesome adventures. I was immediately drawn to his writing and bowhunting prowess. From what I understand about Dwight, there is probably only one thing he loves more than his family and bowhunting and that is Jesus Christ.
God Bless Dwight. You are in my prayers.

We are praying for a miracle for the Schuh family! Dwight, if by chance you get to read this : Thank you for being a great ambassador to our sport. I got to met you at a ND Bowhunter banquet. Your writings inspired me to hunt the west... a 22 hour drive, diy trip to Idaho-“Bungling” for elk! I was instantly hooked and actually moved our family west to be closer to the action. You have always conducted yourself in an honest, positive, and humble way. And it never went unnoticed. You are a Bowhunting Icon and I’m proud to say that I met you! God bless you and your family!

You can do this Dwight overcome this mountainous obstacle!
He has been my inspiration for western big game hunting. bought his books and still use his pack, last year moose hunt, this year wolf hunt. It was one of his articles that got me into appling for western hunts. his point was there are units with higher number of animals and lower number of hunters making for a great experience for the regular guy! After 25 years still in the app game. Met him at P&Y convention Madison Wis was neat to thank him in person. Didn’t realize he was so tall.
Thanks Dwight for all you have done for the bowhunting community.

I have had the pleasure of several conversations over the years with Dwight at P&Y conventions. Always a soft-spoken and willing to answer questions and share knowledge. He and Roy Keefer's input were instrumental in helping me properly set up an effective lower poundage bow for hunting.
His articles were some of my favorite reads in Bowhunter magazine.

Through Dwight's writing he brought me on his journeys of adventures chasing mule deer, elk, moose and bear, things I couldn't chase in Iowa when growing up. I also learned about bow set-ups, shooting and tuning. He lit a fire in me that burns until this very day. It is obvious he has reached many of us and touched us all in so many ways. Prayers to Dwight and his family to get through this difficult time so more memories can be made.

As good of a bowhunter as Dwight is I think he is as good of a person. I remember well the giant typical Muley he killed on the famous Paunsagunt. In our family we use his name in a lot of phrases "D-white" tail ":D-white" face ol' muley, "D-white" truck. I think his philosophical writings connect with the masses and provide both entertainment and enlightenment. We can only hope he can fight through this setback. IMHO he is the King of Bowhunting authors, Dwight if you read this remember "If the Schuh fits, wear it well"!

Hearing this news is truly heartbreaking. I've never met Dwight. But I've read his books and his articles. I consider 'Hunting Open-Country Mule Deer' to be the Bible of pursuing mulies with a bow. It's a book that I continue to re-read from time-to-time. More importantly, though, Dwight Schuh has a well-earned reputation for his high ethical standards. In that we can learn as much from the life he has lived as we can from the words he has committed to the printed page. My prayers are with Dwight during this difficult time.

As his grandson I have seen first hand what a wonderful and tremendous man he is. Ever since the tender age of 6 years old when he placed that Brand New Matthews Genesis bow in my hands he has been by my side ever since. I write this to you many fans of his by his bedside right now. I’d ask all of you he ya influenced to live everyday and hunt with the passion he did for the rest of your days. As his family we thank you for the prayers being sent. God bless to all.

You have "fought the good fight" and will soon rest in your reward. "May God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you..."

Dieter, Thanks for the update. As you can see by these posts, your grandfather has made a tremendous positive impact in this world. Not only in the outdoor world, but how we conduct ourselves throughout this crazy life. Most of us can only hope to contribute a portion of goodness that your grandpa has. Prayers for your grandfather.

Prayers for Dwight and family. I grew up in a non hunting family but my family always encouraged me to pursue what i was drawn to. My Christmas present each year was a subscription to Bowhunter and Field and Stream. So thankful for those articles that stoked the fires in me. Hope to meet you Dwight to say thanks.

Pat - great idea and thanks for doing that. I still remember the moose video where he shot and then had to jump out of the way and the bull missed him by like less than 5'. Hopefully, he can escape this also. Prayers sent

Prayers and thoughts from Colorado. As a teenager I didn't have a bowhunting mentor. My dad hunted but not with a bow. No internet, so I consumed all I could from magazines and VHS tapes. Thank you Mr Schuh for all the knowledge and for taking me along on your adventures with your writing.

I had the privilege to meet Dwight a few years ago. Soon after unpacking and settling in, we chatted for a while that lead to military service. We chatted about Army life and he told me stories about serving in Vietnam.
What a great guy he is. His camera man is great too.
Stay strong Dwight!

I spoke to them this morning Nick. It's just a matter of time now, but he is taking his time on his way to heaven. He's taking his time and being slow and steady like the great bowhunter that he is!

Met Dwight at the P&Y Convention in PA years back. I was awed by him. I read everything by him I could through the years and learned many things. He helped me become the bowhunter I am today and will be forever thankful for his contributions.

I keep checking back for good news. I guess the best news at this point is, by all accounts he's a good man who will get his just reward. Godspeed Dwight....

Although I never had the privilege of meeting him...I loved all his writings. Mr. Schuh had an amazing way with words, and I often felt like I was right there with him on his hunts. He was the real deal and he did it all the right way. Years ago, in the early 90's when we were just getting into the bowhunting game, Dwight was in Edmonton, transitioning into a hunt. A meet and greet night was set up at Trophy Book Archery, one of the local archery dealers at that time. I couldn't go, but my brother did...My brother had the good fortune of meeting and talking with him. We had been struggling a lot with completing stalks on Open Country Mule deer. Dale had shared some of our struggles with him, and Dwight listened ever so carefully. His response was simple and humble, just like the man. He explained that once you were close enough to get a good shot, and you were comfortable with that distance...stay put and wait. Don't get too close. Simple stuff...but smart. We killed many bucks after... God Speed Mr. Schuh. Thank you for all your words.

Not much more can be said...obviously a much loved and respected man. I always admired his willingness to share his faith...and write about his mis-cues as well as the triumphs....praying for a miracle.

Damn, I just stumbled upon this. I've everything he and Larry D Jones ever did and I have worn them all out. They are the pioneers of western bowhunting to me. Always will be. I met Dwight at the Kansas Bowhunters Assoc. several years ago. My experience was no different than everyone elses. Praying for a miracle.

Hello Bowsite friends! Dwight passed away with family by his side this afternoon. Take care ol' friend! If you can they are getting ready to escort him out of the VA as I type this with Flags by his side and the playing of TAPS. Many tears so take a minute to pray for comfort for his friends and family as they carry him out.

I would like to read Dwight's description of heaven, and what his being with Jesus is like. I suspect he would make us feel just like we were there when he wrote about it. The hope of every Christian is to be with the Lord when our time is over here. Dwight has just got there. I hope everyone that admired the man comes to know his Lord.
