Hal meets up with Tom McGuane in McLeod, Montana, on the Boulder River. They begin with an eye-widening discussion of how McGuane's "The Heart of the Game" (widely recognized as one of the greatest-ever essays on hunting) came to be written and published in Sports Illustrated in the early 1970s. The stories – as well as the funny and thought-provoking observations – continue from there. The poet Jim Harrison once said, "Thomas McGuane writes better about fishing than anyone else in the history of mankind." Start 2019 off right with this conversation between two lifelong sportsmen and masters of the written and spoken word.
