The Weatherby Award is awarded annually for remarkable lifetime achievements in the field of hunting and conservation.[1] It is considered "the Nobel Prize equivalent in hunting and conservationism" and the pinnacle to a long, successful hunting career.[2][3] Although it was first awarded in 1956, the Weatherby Foundation International was only established in 1988 to honour the deceased Roy Weatherby, founder of the eponymous gun manufacturer, Weatherby, Inc. The Foundation’s mission statement is “to educate youth and the non-hunting public on the beneficial role of ethical sport hunting and its contribution to wildlife conservation, and to protect our constitutional right to do so”.[4]
