It is with great sadness that the associates of Grand View Media inform you of the passing of Mike Strandlund, editor of Bowhunting World magazine, editorial director for Grand View Outdoors. Mike died suddenly while on vacation. He was 56.
Mike began shooting a bow at age 12, hunting with it at age 16. Thus began a lifelong passion and career that took this bowhunter and journalist on adventures all over the world.
Mike began writing for outdoor magazines in his mid-teens. Growing up in Minnesota and Wisconsin, he earned his journalism degree from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 1980, financing his education by freelance writing and trapping. He spent five years as a newspaper editor in Wisconsin, then five years as a writer for the National Rifle Association’s American Hunter magazine. His responsibilities grew to editing and managing the production of books and other publications for the NRA’s Hunter Services Division.
He joined Bowhunting World and Archery Business magazines, owned by Ehlert Publishing, in 1990. He was named editor of the titles in 1993 and promoted to editorial director in 2002. When Grand View Media bought the titles in 2004, Mike continued in his role. In 2009, Grand View Outdoors promoted Mike to editorial director.
In recognition for his literary excellence in advancing the sport of bowhunting, Mike was inducted into the Bowhunters Hall of Fame in 2003. His clear, insightful articles about his experiences have informed, influenced, and entertained multitudes of readers.
Mike’s survivors include his wife, Nancy, children Brad and Sara, parents Zonnie and Jean and sister Kim, Grand View Media colleagues, and many friends and hunting companions through the years. His passing leaves a true void.
We will miss him greatly.
