2009 Bouchard Summit Award
GSCO board member Dale Martin (L) and team member Seth Campbell (R) present the 2009 Bouchard Summit Award for the top rifle-taken ram to an obviously pleased Don South.
2009 FROST-HOFFMAN SUMMIT AWARD
A very humble Robert Speegle (Dr. Bob) accepts the 2009 Frost-Hoffman Summit Award. Dr. Speegle is the first person to register the Super Slam of North American Big Game with both a rifle AND a bow! He is flanked by award namesakes Tom Hoffman (L) and Jack Frost (R) and GSCO’s Seth Campbell (far right).
