Boone and Crockett Big Game Awards to be Held July 21-23 at Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium

MISSOULA, Mont. – The Boone and Crockett Club’s 31st Big Game Awards will be held next summer, July 21-23, in Springfield, Missouri, at Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium. The event recognizes the biggest heads, horns, and antlers from North America entered into the Boone and Crockett Club’s record book during the last three years. In early 2022, select hunters will be invited to submit their top scoring trophies in each category for panel judging and display.
The judges panel will convene in late April to verify scores of invited trophies, which will then be placed on display in Wonders of Wildlife’s “Bucks and Bulls Hall” from May 1 through the Awards ceremony. Hosted by Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and Wonders of Wildlife, the 31st Big Game Awards will include three days of recognition events and opportunities to tour the awards program display, all culminating in the gala awards banquet on Saturday, July 23.
“We are very excited to partner with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s and the Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium to host the 31st Big Game Awards next July,” commented Tony A. Schoonen, chief executive officer of the Boone and Crockett Club. “This event only happens every three years and it is a true tribute to the fair chase hunters who found such success in the field. With this year’s event coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the National Collection of Heads and Horns, we will be honoring the history of wildlife conservation that continues to support the healthy wildlife populations that make these successes possible.” Read more
