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! 

When the Boone and Crockett Club was founded by George Bird Grinnell and Theodore Roosevelt in 1887, it was named after two legendary frontiersmen. Here’s why.  

Imagine being invited to dinner by Theodore Roosevelt, and then being asked to help him create (and name) a hunting organization dedicated to conserving the last remaining wild places and wildlife that lived there.

As campers ride over the cattle guard and onto the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch (TRMR), they are greeted by the towering faces of the Rocky Mountain Front and the undulating hills packed with biodiversity that roll into the mountains.

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

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