"We always had to fill out the 'book' and report what we saw from our tree stands," Troy adds. "Each stand had a listing for hours spent on stand, temperature, wind direction, number of deer seen, number of bucks seen, number of adult bucks seen, and bucks passed up. At the end of the season, Dad would tally up all the information. He did this for at least 20 years."

Larry was a member of the National Rifle Association, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Safari Club International (SCI), the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), the North American Hunting Club, and the Wisconsin Buck and Bear Club, and he was an associate member of the Pope & Young Club. He was a life member of the Wisconsin Bow Hunter Association and past president of the Wisconsin Chapter of SCI.

Though Larry Huffman will always be recognized for his Legendary Whitetails Collection, he was also an outstanding outdoorsman, hunter and conservationist. Above all, he loved his family and spent many of his last years enjoying his grandchildren.

"Of all the people involved in the whitetail community, Larry was right up there as one of the most important figures of our generation," Gordon Whittington attests. "But that's not the main reason I'll miss him. He was just a great friend."

That's a ditto from all who knew and loved him!
