The speaker mentions interviewing 'a writer who wrote a pretty profound book called Song for the Blue Ocean, a fisherman who wrote a book about the depletion of the oceans.' Used to discuss ethical concerns about killing animals in tournament/carnival atmospheres.

Context:

Referenced in a discussion about wildlife management and limited resources. Speaker quotes Leopold's concept about wildlife managers improving 'the pump' but not 'the well,' illustrating that increasing hunting pressure doesn't increase the wildlife resource itself.

Context:

Referenced (author name misspoken as 'John Cracker') when discussing proper game care and butchering. Speaker mentions the story of Chris McCandless shooting a moose, which is from Krakauer's book about McCandless (likely 'Into the Wild'), using it as an example of what happens when you don't properly plan for field care of large game.
