A non-typical elk harvested by David Kammerdiener, of Templeton Pa., in 2022 recently was honored at the Boone and Crockett Club’s 32nd Big Game Awards celebration.
Since 1947, the triennial Big Game Awards program recognizes the biggest heads, horns and antlers from North America accepted into the Boone and Crockett Club’s records from the previous three years. Kammerdiener’s non-typical elk taken in Clearfield County officially scored 445 2/8 points by a panel of judges and is the second largest hunter-taken elk in Pennsylvania and the 14th largest in the Record Book.

The U.S. federal public land estate is an American legacy the Boone and Crockett Club will support forever. Since our founding in 1887, whenever the suggestion has been made that public land be disposed of for revenue, we have objected. As the suggestion has been made recently, we object now.
A cash sale produces one kind of return from an asset – the final one. Continuous returns from owning land come from its use and enjoyment.
