“taxidermists”

Congratulations to American Hunter contributor Craig Boddington, who has been named as the recipient of the 2017 Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award.

It is often the first installation in a deer camp. It is usually a timber cut from nearby woods but it could be a salvaged scrap pipe. Regardless, it is always a place for hunters to gather, assess and admire deer. It is the buck pole, a symbol of success to American hunters.

Law-enforcement officers confiscated 41 heads when they busted Wendell Taylor and Gregory W. Crockarell “trophy poaching” on Fort Campbell military base last year.

One good way to ensure your children grow up to appreciate hunting is to include them in every aspect of your hunting lifestyle from the outset of their lives. Here’s how the author did it.

Some outfitters are great. Others, not so much. Protecting yourself means following these four rules.

The 26,000 square-foot museum in Amsterdam, N.Y., boasts an impressive taxidermy collection of over 100 animal species—including one of the largest whitetail trophy deer mount displays in the country—tastefully displayed with the interest of education at heart.

With your heart racing and a big buck in the scope, it’s easy to overlook the small stuff. But ignoring the details can spell disaster.
