Summer 2022 Edition

With the 31st Big Game Awards right around the corner, the anticipation of seeing so many conservation success stories under one roof is electric. What follows is just a sample of some of the great trophies the Boone and Crockett Club will celebrate in Springfield Missouri, July 21-23, 2022.

My dad and I boarded a plane in Portland, Oregon, on August 27, headed for Dillingham, Alaska. This was the beginning of a 10-day hunting trip for moose and caribou, in the Wood-Tikchik State Park.

As non-native axis deer proliferate in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a market hunting and harvest operation has become the conservation tool of choice. 

Moose of Yesterday 

In the Boone and Crockett Club's records, we recognize three categories of moose: Shiras', Alaska-Yukon, and Canada moose. For those of you lucky enough to hunt one of these enormous ungulates, you know how much work comes after the shot.

​Thinking of my latest trip to western Washington to pursue Roosevelt’s elk, a thought from a Spanish philosopher long since past echoes in my mind.

Uniquely American, it's otherwise enigmatic, with no brand name. Millions of hunters own one.
