GSCO Rex Baker Super 40

Rex Baker has always had a passion for hunting, starting out with a slingshot as a kid and working his way up to big game in his 30s. Rex has taken 345 different species. His true passion is mountain hunting. Rex has collected 38 different Capra as well as 85 Ovis, which includes 41 different species/sub-species. Rex has been honored with both GSCO’s Pantheon and OVIS awards. In addition to receiving the Weatherby Award, he is one of the founders of the Conklin Award, considered by the hunting community as its “tough guy award.” Those are words that do a good job of describing Rex’s hunting career.

Both GSCO’s Ovis and Capra programs have a “Super 40.” Why not one for North American big game? That is exactly what Rex proposed to GSCO and then was implemented into GSCO’s milestone platforms.

Do not miss this seminar discussion by two of the most accomplished hunters in the world. Join GSCO Ovis and Pantheon recipients Rex Baker and Ed Yates as they discuss our newest milestone, the Rex Baker Super 40.

Times: 2:30 - 3:30 pm
