Big Game & Hunting Books TIMED Auction
Big Game Record, Hunting & Outdoor Books: The Jack Reneau Collection. The personal collection of Jack Reneau. Jack Reneau collected big-game hunting books and big-game records books from 1976 to 2023. The books in his collection are for the most part autographed by the editors and authors of the books now being offered to a worldwide audience. Jack Reneau worked for the Boone and Crockett Club as the director of Big Game Records from 1983 until his retirement in 2017 and as the assistant to the director of Big Game Records before that. Jack continued to teach official measurer workshops through 2022 and is asked to help the B&C Records Program to this day. Jack earned a B.S. in Wildlife Management from Colorado State University and a M.S. in Wildlife Management from Eastern Kentucky University where he majored in ducks and geese. Over his 42-year career with the Boone and Crockett Club he trained every official measurer and wrote and edited in excess of 60 B&C books ? more books produced for the B&C than Theodore Roosevelt himself who founded the Boone and Crockett Club. Jack also worked as a wildlife biologist and hotshot firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service and a conservation aide for the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Jack was dedicated to make sure all big-game entered in the B&C Records Program were taken legally and in Fair Chase as outlined by Theodore Roosevelt. Jack was quoted monthly in outdoor magazines throughout his career whenever a new World?s Record was declared, or a hunter harvested an especially fine animal throughout North America. Do not miss out on owning a book from Jack?s personal library!
