memtb,

You're right, he was an outfitter from northwestern Montana, as I recall from around Seeley Lake. He wrote a couple stories and that was it. Craig Boddington (then the editor of PH) told me it was because the guy apparently found writing to be really hard work compared to hunting and outfitting.

I can't remember his name either!
