Backed by a Boone and Crockett Club University Programs fellowship, Jamshid Parchizadeh traveled from the bustling streets of Tehran to the rugged coast of Alaska, driven by a singular mission: to serve wildlife through science.

For Parchizadeh, the road to becoming a wildlife biologist was anything but a straight line.

Elk steaks sizzle over a crackling fire. For 10,000 years, this primal cookout required three things: an elk, the skills of a hunter, and a skosh of luck.

The Boone and Crockett Club commends today’s action by the Senate Agriculture Committee to pass the Fix Our Forests Act (S.1462), introduced by Sens. John Curtis (R-UT), John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), and Alex Padilla (D-CA), by a bipartisan vote of 18-5. The following is a statement by Boone and Crockett Club chief executive officer Tony A. Schoonen.
