This was just posted on the Parker website. I tried to google up a story for verification but did not see anything.
"Saturday, the 14th of August saw the passing of Michael McIntosh. At the age of 66, the world renowned writer gave in to life's final demand.
Michael wrote some 29 books, all of which are cherished and recognized as being of the finest gun and shooting sports related pubications that exist today.
The gun world will forever be the less at Michael's passing."

Gentlemen: One of the better of our faith's finest oracles has passed. More's the pity. Bless him and his memory.

The best short story/memoir of fathers and sons hunting I ever read, "Knowing How, Knowing When," should be enuf to fix MM in the memory of more than a single generation. Not much heard from the other Technicana twin recently but hope he's enjoying good health.

Just one of the finest sporting writers in the business. I had the privilege of meeting him several times as he came to traverse City each Summer for the Fieldsport schools, and he was always warm and interested in talking with a reader/student. I hope 'Tober is waiting for him next to a sunny cover.

Few contemporary wordsmiths attain the level of Master but MM certainly achieved it long ago and plyed his trade with a great deal of creativity. Controversial opinions at times but that just added spice to his writing. I'll miss his writings very much.

What terrible and sad news. What a loss to the shooting sports. He was a true scholar of doubleguns and a man whose writings I've followed for years. His knowledge and writing skills were the best in the business. He was also a gentleman of the first order. I never seen a harsh word written by him.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
With heartfelt sympathy.

What a shame. His works were fun to read and his style was special. He will be long missed.
