This book, published by the Boone and Crockett Club, captures the tales of the hunts for the top 86 North American big game animals entered in the Club's 24th Awards Program. It lists 3,955 trophies accepted in 35 of the 36 North American big game categories recognized by the Boone and Crockett Club. Stories told by the hunters themselves provide exciting reading and provide invaluable information about areas currently producing trophy quality big game animals. These stories provide interesting insights into the hunting techniques used in each hunting situation. Specialized techniques used for each big game species and adaptations for the different habitat types in which each species is found provide interesting and useful information for experienced, as well as novice sportsmen. Each hunt is unique and each hunter has his or her own special way of capturing in words the intensity of the experience. The common thread that runs through all of these stories is the deep respect shared for the animal being pursued and the Fair Chase ethic shared by the hunters.
