A bighorn state record in Nebraska showcases the state’s ongoing big game restoration efforts.

The chair will enhance the opportunities for research in the Warner College of Natural Resources' Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology and encourage the creation of collaborations to solve state, national and international issues facing wildlife populations.

The ranch is where Roosevelt developed his staunch conservation ethic and vision. Rugged and scenic, the land was purchased from willing sellers, the Eberts family, and transferred to the U.S. Forest Service in 2007. It was a landmark success following a two-year campaign led by Boone and Crockett Club with critical partnership from the Elk Foundation.

Have you thought about entering a big game harvest into “the book?” Gun Talk Hunt’s Kevin “KJ” Jarnagin visits with Justin Spring from the Boone and Crockett Club. The pair discuss the origins of the club, their goals, why their data points are important, and their role within the big game community. 

With 37 years of volunteer service to conservation, Baier has amassed a long and impressive list of accomplishments. He was the lead in drafting President Bush’s wildlife conservation agenda, and a delegate to the White House Conference on Cooperative Conservation as well as the U.S. Forest Service Centennial Steering Committee.
