Hunt High book

[nellidrake]

Does anybody know by chance where I could find the book Hunt High by Duncan Gilchrist? I’ve only found it at this link but it’s super expensive. I would be happy to even pay to to borrow yours to read it and then it send back after I’ve read it. I’ve heard it’s awesome for sheep and mountain goat hunting but have had a struggle finding away to get it.

Duncan Gilchrist books can be very collectible. I have an extensive library of many outdoor authors that are difficult to find. I have this copy. Took me years to find. I would check with the Book Exchange in Missoula, MT for a copy….doubtful. BUT, you could put yourself on the list if one comes available. There is another old bookshop in Kalispell that I spotted a copy some time ago. The proprietor knows the values. Good luck! MTG

Thanks man. I’ll try those places. I’m in Idaho but I can see if they may be able to ship if they find something. Is the book as good as people say? I want a good book that helps with field judging goats and sheep.

There is another book about goats. A Beast the Color of Winter. This is a bit more informative than Hunt High. Plus, much easier to find. The second is about sheep. There are other offerings by Gilchrist. Montana Land of Giant Rams volumes I-III. Volume II is very difficult and pricey to obtain. Where in Idaho? MTG

If you could find a book by Jack O’ Conner titled “ Sheep and Sheep Hunting” this is very informative. MTG

I had all his books at one time - great collections of information. I about fell over seeing Hunt High completed transactions on eBay for $256, $339, $347 and $330! He’s become very collectible.

If it were me I’d use one of the sites that lets you search all of Craigslist - estate sales must turn up a copy once in a while and if they don’t go on eBay they will probably get listed on Craigslist.

Rare book collecting is a game of patience, I have a signed first edition so it's not an ideal copy to lend out.

My suggestion is to go to worldcat.org, it's an international library database that shows which member libraries have it in their collection. The entry for Hunt High (https://search.worldcat.org/title/32588676) shows 1 library in ID and 3 in MT, maybe see if you can borrow from one of them?

I have the Duncan ghilchrist goat hunting book, it was signed by him. I thought it was expensive when I bought it for 45.00.

I also have a signed copy of bowhubting alaskas wild rivers by Jay Massey, that’s a good one as well.

It seems like all the books are going up in price, a few years ago I bought dozens of hunting books, I was surprised to see sheep hunting Alaska, in search of dall rams etc costing 5-6x what I paid for them.

Thank you! I do have the Beasts Color of Winter book. It was pretty good. I’ll check out those other sheep books too! I appreciate the help. I’m in Burley, Idaho.
