The NRA Great American Hunters Tour is on the Road! Robert L. Davis, Jr., Manager, NRA Hunter Services
For a point blank encounter with some of the most famous and highest scoring Whitetail Bucks in the world, make sure you don’t miss the NRA Great American Hunters Tour (GAHT). With more than 50 replicated world record Boone & Crocket and Pope & Young bucks in the collection, it’s an absolute must see for any Whitetail enthusiast. Held in conjunction with hunting and outdoor shows as a featured attraction, the NRA will bring 12 of their Whitetail heads to put on display at the show. Around 6,500 outdoor fans from all over the area come to get firsthand looks at the famed Hansen, Jordan, Breen, Del Austin, Minnesota Monarch, Hole in the Horn, Beatty and Mel Johnson Bucks! The cost to attend this event is generally $7.00 to $12.00. There is more to the show than merely looking at the Whitetail displays. At Hunting and Outdoor shows there will be guides & outfitters, retail products, lots of other outdoor related displays for attendees to see, and also a lineup of seminar speakers. NRA is also present to sell sponsor items, NRA apparel, memberships, promote NRA programs and answer questions
about hunting and the NRA. Monty Embrey, NRA Program Coordinator for The Youth Hunters Education Challenge and GAHT, said “The NRA Great American Whitetail Collection display allows sportsmen and women a chance to see the largest and most unique whitetails in the world up close and personal.It is not unusual for attendees to take hundreds of photos of the collection during a show”. This renowned event can bring hunting experts seen on TV with NRA staff that has over 125 years of hunting experience hunting the country. It’s great for the whole family and offers something for every level hunter. Plus, you can speak to NRA staff about upcoming events or other NRA programs. As always, you can join or renew your NRA memberships at the booth!
