Author: Duncan Gilchrist
Context:
The speaker discusses Duncan Gilchrist as 'a really good Hunt writer' that 'no one really knows about.' He mentions Gilchrist's book 'Hunt High' (clarifying the title means 'Hunt the High Country,' not 'Hunt Stone'). The speaker praises Gilchrist's writing style, saying he 'accidentally almost wrote like Hemingway, like really sparse and kind of beautiful.' The book is mentioned in the context of discussing how when you see wildlife like bears or sheep, you know immediately what it is without confusion. Gilchrist was described as a timber cruiser by trade who was also big into big game hunting and later died while filming bighorn sheep.
