Boone & Crockett
Results Revealed
1961 was a spectacular hunting
year, according to the results of
the Boone and Crockett Club’s
1961 North American Big Game
Exhibition which was held this
month in New York City.
“This year’s entries are far and
away the finest ever submitted—
which may appear somewhat sur
prising in the face of the popula
tion explosion and increasing ur
banization and highway building
in the United States.
“Among this year’s award win
ning entries are five all-time
world’s records, and several that
exceed or tie for the all-time sec
ond place. This is a spectacular
record,” said the chairman of the
records committee of the club, an
organizat on of big game hunters
founded by Theodore Roosevelt
which maintains and publishes vi
tal statistics in such big game as
deer, moo e, wapiti and wild sheep
taken each year by hunters.
Among the five new world’s rec
ord entries this year was a White
cheep shot by Harry L. Swank,
Jr., of Anchorage, Alaska. The
White Sheep, taken in the Wran
gell Mts., Alaska, is so outstand
ing a trophy that Mr. Swank was
awarded the Sagamore Hill Award
Medal, which is given by the Roos
evelt family for the most out
standing trophy in the entire Ex
hibition, if in the opinion of the
judges any trophy merits this
aw'ard.

WHEN DOGS RUN LOOSE—Protection Officers Fred Wold
stad (rt.) and Jerry Shelley of the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game examine two dead deer which were victims of dogs.
Loose dogs are a “serious menace” to deer at this time of year,
according to Wolstad, who appealed to dog owners to keep their
pets tied up. He pointed out that “although Alaska law provides
that dogs which are seen chasing deer may be killed—provided a
reasonable attempt has been made to give the dogs’ owners a
chance to restrain their pets—vve would rather not take such dras
tic action if it can be avoided.”

KNUDSEN’S — Where All Kodiak Shops
world’s record trophies was an
Alaska-Yukon Moose shot by Bert
Klinberger of Seattle, Washington.
Among the 1961 entries that ex
ceeded the quality of all-time 2nd
place for their species and are
now number 2 in the records are:
tow Mule Deer (Typical), Canada
Moose, Bison and Alaskan Bear of
the Genus Ursus.
The latter refers to the bear
shot on Kodiak Island by Erling
Hansen, of Seattle, Wash. Word
was received earlier that this
bear was a record bear, exceeding
that of a prior one shot, by 1/16
of an inch. The Boone and Crock
et Club has stated this in an earl
ier letter.
However, Alf Madsen, big game
hunting guide, stated that it still
remains the largest shot on Ko
diak Island by a non-resident
hunter. He is awaiting clarifica
tion on the apparent reversal n
the measuring statistics supplied
earlier.
Alaskans won eight out of the
total of 149 various awards made
this year. There was a total of
2,342 entries, 700 more than in
the previous year, the club re
vealed.
