Dr. James H. "Red" Duke Jr., physician, television personality, conservationist, hunter and past president of Boone and Crockett Club, died Tuesday, August 25. He was 86.

Two books by the Boone and Crockett Club continue to collect national recognition for excellence in publishing, beating out competitors from all genres.

It seems these days we are seeing an increasing number of stories about illegally killed game being abandoned in fields or by the side of the highway, deer and elk found rotting with just their heads removed, and dishonest outfitters breaking numerous game laws to get their clients the trophy they seek. When did poaching become OK?

The Boone and Crockett Club has teamed up with Blaser and Leupold to ask the question, "What does fair chase hunting mean to you?"

The partners are sponsoring a new essay and video contest beginning July 23rd with all submissions due by Dec. 1, 2015.
