He especially enjoys the challenge of bowhunting at high altitudes for sheep and goats as well as bowhunting for a variety of dangerous game animals, including Africa’s “Big Five” and many the world’s “Wild Oxen” and “Predators”. All this passion and dedication made him receive his SCI World Conservation & Hunting Award.

Leon has taken more than 240 different species of animals, with 204 species that rank in the Top 10 for their weapon category. All of Leon's species have been taken with alternative weapons and he is the first hunter to achieve SCI’s top award, the "World Conservation Award" without any species taken with a rifle!
Together with his family, Leon founded the Museum where there is an exhibit of species collected by him, and his daughters, Käthe and Danell. The museum contains 347 exhibits.

Irvin made 81 trips to Africa, hunted six continents and loved to hunt birds and big game in South America. In 1991, he married Wendy who became a very accomplished hunter in her own right. Irvin began his collection of birds that he hunted from all over the world. They loved hunting the world together.
He won all of the major SCI hunting awards and in 1993 was presented the prestigious Weatherby Foundation International Award. Irvin's passion was not just hunting. His philanthropic efforts were focused on conservation and preservation. He was a member of over 40 conservation organizations and a strong contributor to their preservation efforts.

Victor Zeni - Pensilvannia, USA

“Gonzalo, Juan and staff, I had the time of my life. Gonzalo is a great guide and companion. The service and the hunting was everything that was promised. Gonzalo is a man of his word and above all he is a Gentleman. We had fun!”

Relatively few people get to travel the world in search of big game, and fewer still do it well. But that's what Zeni's done. He grew up fishing, and shooting his bow. Zeni has hunted from Australia to Bulgaria to Africa to Spain and South America. He did it well enough to not only make the record books but earn some special recognition. “Victor E. Zeni is the first archer to take the ‘African Dangerous Seven,' with all of the trophies ranking in the top 10” and in 2014 he won the Magnum Ullmann Award for his European Big Game Trophy Animals.

Frost is the first archer to have taken and recorded in the P&Y records at least one of each of the NA 29. And was the first bowhunter to take all four species of NA wild sheep. He has hunted all of the continents and has served on the NBEF board for over ten years.

When he’s not hunting abroad, he and his lovely wife, Karen, enjoy working (and of course hunting) on their farm in Texas County.

Mike & Joyce Christianson (SCI Past VP) - Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA

Please thank your staff for making our stay comfortable and our hunting an experience that will leave on in our memories."
