Duncan Gilchrist (1936-2002) was an avid big game hunter, guide and writer who spent most of his life in Alaska and Montana. Gilchrist was one of the world’s foremost experts on mountain goat, dall sheep and bighorn sheep hunting. He also excelled in other big game pursuits. A prolific writer later in life, he authored 11 books on big game hunting, wrote one book on trophy care, and produced several videos.
