History

Legendary Whitetails was founded in 1999 by Larry Huffman. Huffman was an avid outdoorsman, hunter and conservationist. He served as president of the Wisconsin Chapter of Safari Club International and as a regional vice president. He serverd as a representative to the Wisconsin Conservation Congress.

Larry, along with fellow authors and deer enthusiasts Dick Idol, David Morris, and Gordon Whittington compiled stories about the 40 world-class bucks that made up Larry's original collection. The original book is titled Legendary Whitetails. Legendary Whitetails II was published in 2001 and Legendary Whitetails III was published in 2007.

In 1999, Larry started the Iowa Deer Classic. Currently, the Iowa Deer Classic takes place every year in Des Moines, Iowa. The popularity of the Legendary Whitetails collection amongst the hunting community motivated Larry to create a unique line of merchandise designed specifically as everyday apparel for white-tailed deer hunters and their families.

Founder, Larry Huffman died in 2007, but Legendary Whitetails remains a family-owned business under Larry's son and current president, Greg Huffman.

The "Legendary Whitetails" collection

The Legendary Whitetail collection contained over 84 trophy white-tailed deer mounts ranked in the Boone and Crockett Club and/or Pope and Young record books. The collection included several of the most notable trophies in the world, including the James Jordan Buck and the Hole in the Horn Buck.

It was founder of Legendary Whitetails, Larry Huffman's, dream to someday display the collection in a public museum. When Bass Pro Shops proposed to buy the entire collection and place the mounts on permanent display for the public to enjoy at Bass Pro headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, Larry liked the idea of having the collection on public display. Larry sold the Legendary Whitetail collection to Bass Pro Shops on September 16, 2002. The deer mounts are now part of Bass Pro Shops "King of Bucks" collection and are on display at the American National Fish and Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri. The "King of Bucks" collection also goes on tour occasionally. During tours, the collection is transported and displayed in seven separate semi-trailer exhibits.
