midwest's Link
I copied this link from the CBA fb page. It's the Bowhunter Magazine story of Dwight Schuh's last harvest as documented by his daughter. Left a big lump in my throat. He sure wasn't a quitter.

Everyone of us will travel this path. It will be different for each of us but the end result is the same. Make every day count towards that end!

Thanks for posting this. After reading his books and articles for decades, toting a Schuh pack by Coleman Peak one, (which I still use) its meaningful to read an account of his last stand. He inspired me. Its just that simple.

Let’s see....
Who do I want my kids to see as their idea of a hunting Role Model, Dwight, or Body Builder Boy?
I hope his family will release a collection of his work. Gotta be a substantial market for it, which would help them and all of Bowhunting at the same time.

I was fortunate to share a camp with Dwight. I remember him as a very quiet man that when he spoke you better listen because it was a time to learn. Very blessed to talk with him indeed.

Thank you all for the heartfelt, emotional thoughts. I've never seen any negative sentiment posted about my dad since he died. It's pretty incredible. Miss him every moment. ~Emily Schuh B

You can tell a lot about a man when you see his relationship with his kids/family. We all respected and admired the public Dwight but I'd venture a guess that the private Dwight was equally awesome.

Bfisherman11, he was 1000% consistent. What you saw was how he was, always. When he talked, it was because he had something important to say, and you'd learn something if you listened. He called himself a Crusader for Consistency. I only started hunting with him the last 2 years. I wish I had started sooner. If I ever kill something, I'll write about it. :/

I started getting more serious about hunting, especially western mountain hunting after meeting Dwight at a hunt show.
He was a true legend and seemed like a very humble man

Another great story about Dwight. In today’s “me first” society Dwight was sure a breath of fresh air. Genuine, humble and extremely talented. Thanks for the story Emily.

Met Dwight more than thirty years ago when he spoke at our CBA banquet. There’s lots of good bowhunters in the world and Dwight was one of them. Every time I crossed paths with Dwight he treated me like a friend or passed along a hello through my buddy Ron. Amazing quality man! But this article, written by his daughter, a product of his life and I would guess a tremendous source of pride for him, showed me something I hadn’t thought of. A quality I admire most in fellow bowhunters is a never quit approach. Even when it’s time. Dwight lived till he was forced to be done. Thanks Emily, for writing the article and making me think about a great man for a little longer. Yep some blurry vision here.

When I was a kid trying to figure out how to fill a tag there wasn't many videos and no internet. My Dad was a hunter but not with a bow. Magazines were my source of knowledge and my chance to see folks actually succeed with a bow. I drank in the stories like they were water in the desert. Dwight was always a favorite.
Great story.

A couple of my highlights from St. Louis Pope & Young were the autographed hat from Dwight, (he seemed almost embarrassed) and the autograph from Larry D. Jones. Larry was standing close to Curt Wells and Larry thought I was heading to Curt but I wanted Larry's signature first and he was to humble to realize that. Humility is one of my favorite traits in others and I guess as bowhunters we all get a taste of that pie now and then!

I had that marked to read and it somehow slipped under a couple other mags. I found it last night and read it. Dwight leaves a huge hole in the bowhunting print media, one that will not be filled any time IMO. There are other good writers, but most of them don’t make you feel like you would love to hunt with them like Dwight did. “He will be missed” is cliche’, but Dwight Schuh WILL BE MISSED ! R. I. P. Dwight !
