An accomplished entrepreneur in the trucking industry, Robert Rogulic serves as the president and CEO of Tri-National, Inc., a transportation provider serving clients in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. When he’s not busy managing all of his company’s operations, Robert Rogulic enjoys hunting. He belongs to the Boone & Crockett Club and holds a record for one of the biggest antelopes of all time. Since its founding in 1887, the Boone & Crockett Club has maintained an ethical code of hunter conduct. Known as the Fair Chase statement, this code separates commercial market hunters from sportsmen hunters by ensuring members engage in the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild big game animal in North America. This sportsmanlike code requires that hunters are not given any improper advantage over the animals they hunt and it promotes respect for land habitats, conservation, and wildlife populations. By promoting respect and setting an ethical standard, the Boone & Crockett Club’s Fair Chase statement improves the quality and challenge of hunting. It prevents game species from becoming overwhelmed by the capabilities of human beings and defines the position that hunters hold in regards to conservation. Although interpretations of fair chase can vary, many societal laws protect and manage wildlife resources. Further, the ethical code established by fair chase promotes public support for hunting.

A veteran business executive he founded and leads Tri-National, Inc., one of the United States’ leading logistics and transportation companies, Robert Rogulic manages an experienced senior management team to ensure clients receive quality service. Away from his work, Robert Rogulic is a keen hunter and supports Ducks Unlimited, which conserves wetland for ducks and provides resources to duck hunters to ensure responsible hunting activities. Ducks Unlimited’s conservation efforts extend to restoring grassland, working with landowners and replanting forested areas. In particular, the organization notes that forested areas that experience flooding due to overflowing rivers become prime winter habitats for ducks, in addition to providing foraging and breeding locations for several wildlife species. Ducks Unlimited works specifically in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV). To date, over 80 percent of the MAV has been cleared of forestland and the construction of levees and dams has restricted water flow to the remaining forest. Ducks Unlimited has replanted over 178,000 acres of trees throughout the MAV and makes efforts to channel backwaters to the forest to ensure adequate flooding. Tri-National, Inc., founder Robert Rogulic leads an international fleet of truckload carriers. Outside of his professional duties in the transportation sector, Robert Rogulic is a seasoned hunter who holds a Boone and Crockett Club record for one of the largest pronghorn trophies. The Boone and Crockett Club scores and records trophies for a selection of big game species including pronghorns, sometimes colloquially called antelopes. Pronghorn trophies are scored largely by horn length as well as horn circumference and prong length. To score the most points while pronghorn hunting: - Look for horns that are significantly longer than the head. An average pronghorn’s head measures 13 inches from the base of the ear to the nose. Hunters wishing to find a high-scoring trophy should seek out animals with horns longer than 15 inches. - Seek out pronghorns with large, heavy horns. Some hunters find it useful to compare horn size to eye width. A high-scoring trophy’s horns will appear to be twice the width of its eyes when viewed from the side. This translates into a healthy 6- to 7-inch horn circumference. - Pay attention to seasonal factors. Pronghorns shed their outer horn layers in the fall. Their horns will grow very large if they experience a mild winter and warm spring. They will be smaller if food has been scarce due to a harsh winter or dry spring. Consider hunting in areas where the climate has been favorable. Robert Rogulic is the founder and chief executive of Tri-National transportation. Besides heading one of the premier trucking and logistics companies in North America, Robert Rogulic is an avid hunter of pronghorn antelope. Known for its long-range vision and lightning-quick speed, the pronghorn can be difficult to track, let alone get a clear shot of. The pronghorn’s best defense is its vision. Its sense of smell and hearing is comparatively less developed than other animals. It is possible to get close to a pronghorn with the wind at your back but once it spots you, it will run away fast. The trick to getting close enough is staying out of its line of sight. You’ll have to crawl on your hands and knees, using the bushes and long plain grass to your advantage, before setting up a long-range shot. Long-distance rifles are used frequently for hunting pronghorns. Many hunters tend to lean toward lighter calibers such as the .243 Winchester, the .260 Remington, and the .25-06 Remington. Other assets for a pronghorn hunt include a fine optics scope and bullets that don’t go out of range in the strong prairie wind.

The Boone and Crockett Club was founded in 1887 and is the oldest wildlife conservation organization in North America. As a champion for some of the first national parks in America, the club has established and pioneered the principles of responsible and sustainable hunting, and created the first big game scoring and data collection system that measures species and population health on an objective basis. In the 1920s, the Boone and Crockett Club created an official measurement and scoring system for big game in response to public interest and an increase in hunting. When the measurement system was originally put in place, it focused primarily on recording big game species in North America that conservationists and scientists believed were disappearing. Scientists soon realized that the system also served as an effective way of tracking how successful new conservation policies were. Over the next several years, the club began formally recognizing outstanding big game trophies and holding its own competitions for trophies. The organization now maintains 24 Awards Programs that serve as trophy competitions, along with maintaining the records of North American big game. |
