The Weatherby Award — Hunting & Conservation Excellence

The Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award is widely recognized as the most prestigious individual honor in the world of big game hunting. Established in 1956 by Roy Weatherby, it is presented annually to the hunter who has ethically taken the most varied, difficult, and largest number of species in the world — while also demonstrating outstanding contributions to wildlife conservation.

Jak to funguje

The Weatherby Award is not something you apply for — you are nominated and selected by a committee of past winners whose combined hunting experience spans hundreds of years. The selection is based on three weighted categories: Hunting Achievement (60%), Conservation Contributions (20%), and Ethics & Sportsmanship (20%). Trophies must be taken across all continents supporting big game species.
