Vintage Alaska  

Alaska! Most hunters in the Lower 48 only dream of heading north in search of sheep, caribou, grizzlies, moose, and unbridled adventure. Other hunters moved to Alaska specifically for the hunting. We dug through our photo archives to find photos of vintage Alaska. Enjoy! 

July not only marks the middle of summer, but it also brings the Boone and Crockett Club’s triennial awards to the national stage.

Boone and Crockett University Programs Fellow Mark Bell is redefining how we balance ecosystems and work with wildlife managers to solve problems facing everything from rising deer populations in Michigan to invasive aoudad in Texas.

Mark Bell has always felt at home in the wild.

Record-book caribou? We got ‘em. Musk ox, desert sheep, and elk? Check, check, and check.

For the last several months, all eyes in our community have been trained on efforts to sell public lands. Two distinct proposals were considered.

Since 1788, Article IV, Section 3, clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution has given Congress the authority to acquire and manage federal property. Today, that includes roughly 640 million acres of land, nearly 28 percent of the 2.3 billion acres in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Squeezed by disease events, water scarcity, and agency commitment, wild sheep recovery remains a work in progress.
