Jim Lundquist passed away at 89 years old in June, I just found out. Jim quit hunting crows in 2000 but still fished a lot out of a boat in Minnesota.
Jim was a lot of fun to be around, the world will be a lesser place with out him. Lots of wonderful memories hunting crows with him. I first met Jim when he was in his very early 50's, he was quick and deadly in those days. He used a 16 gauge model 870 Remington Wing Master for many years on crows. All he shot was an Improved Cylender choke with a one ounce load of 7 1/2's or 8's.
My pal Dick is the very last partner that is still alive.

Sorry to hear you lost a good friend and hunting partner, hopefully someone else will come along that needs to be mentored and have those hunting memories shared with them. In the future I hope you share some on this forum.
Here is a photo that I have posted many times of the late Jim Lundquist shooting crows.
The next photo is of Dick in India hunting tigers in 1964, Dick was a kid in those days. The other photo was taken in Kenya back in 1958. That is not me, that is my father with the bull elephant.
Very sorry to hear of Jim leaving us. I did'nt of course know him, but from your praises of him, he must have been a fine friend.
I too had a crow hunting buddy leave us in 2002, Mr. John Fincher. John and I crow hunted for approx. 12 years, and made our only trip to Ft. Cobb in 1973.
The passing of good friends or relatives certainly gives a sinking feeling, and may cause anyone to do some soul searching.
Also, I got the tapes. Thanks. Will return them soon.
I shot more crows with Jim Lundquist and Boyd Robeson than any other partners I have ever had, before or since.
Here are some photos of Jerry Byroad whom I only hunted with for 5 seasons before he passed away (it will be 4 years this September) four years ago. Jerry was a great partner, he lived in Maryland and used to spend a month each season hunting with me.
My deepest condolences Bob. I've lost a couple of dear friends this past year and it brings one's own mortality closer to mind. The older we get the more we lose. Life is short and we should each day to its fullest.
I used to get a kick out of talking with Jim about what I had to look forward to in regard to things going wrong with the old body! We would both laugh about some of the stuff a guy goes through as he ages. I was calling him a few nights ago to ask him if he ever had kidney stones? That is when I found out he passed away in June. I just got over them (kidney stones) and am the only one in the family who has ever had them. I slept for almost 24 hours straight after my ordeal was over with.
