Public Exhibit of Big Game Trophies Draws Eager Sponsors

Conservation groups and the hunting industry are rallying for unprecedented support of an upcoming public exhibit of big game trophies. Hosted by Boone and Crockett Club, the triennial event is a free showing of world-class antlers, horns and mounted specimens from across North America.

The exhibit is set for June 24-26, 2010, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nev. "Since 1947, these exhibits have helped citizens understand more about the hunter-funded conservation system that continues to produce ever-increasing numbers of trophy-class game," said Tony Schoonen, chief of staff for Boone and Crockett Club.
