Several years ago, I heard that someone was touring with JOC trophies. Does anyone have any information on this or what the final disposition of the trophies were? I am on a nostalgia bent right now that is strong enough to draw mold which includes rereading all of JOC's books.

A significant number of Jack's animals and rifles are at the Hells Gate State Park in Lewiston Idaho.
If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

That is correct. His son, Bradford, has some of them, but nearly all are at the Jack O'Connor Center at Hell's Gate State Park, just south of Lewiston. http://jack-oconnor.org/

Thanks so much for the info. JOC had such an impact on my life and hunting as a child and young man I plan to make the trip to Hell's Gate soon just to see his trophies and some of his rifles that I read about! Bradford O'Connor would be 80-83 years old if still living. Does anyone know if BOC is still alive?

Send a PM to: campfireoldgeezer and see if you get a response.
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.
