Ted Riggs

[LIK2HNT]

I remember reading an article about him years ago, and all the giant mule-deer he killed. Tried doing a google search without much luck. Does anyone know of any books or such that show his collection? With all the giants he shot I would expect something.
Thanks

Here is some info on him from the MM archives.

Awesome Article of Ted Riggs | Mule Deer

ere's some more history -- this on the AZ Strip from two different articles I've writen on it. -TONY The "good ol' days" mentioned by **** are what made the Strip legendary. Among the world's trophy hunters, it once had a reputation as lofty as its next door neighbor -- the North Kaibab...

Don’t ever remember any specific books but I remember seeing some of his strip bucks in a magazine article years ago…

I found that and another, but no any pictures.
The article I read years ago had some pictures of him with some bucks. Also talked about how when he found a fresh lion killed deer he would find a close by spot and wait until it came back. Guess he would stomp his feet to keep warm while he waited all night sometimes. From the few things I read years ago I think he would of been one of those guys to sit down with a few beers. And listen to some great stories.

If that’s true, it’s a disappointment!!

I met Ted years ago, he was a really nice guy. I talked with him when he was retired. The ace hardware store in St. George had several of his trophies hanging in there, I believe he sold them to the owner. If I remember right they had the locked antler bucks mount in there that he found. Giants I wish I had some pictures

Ace Hardware in St. George still displays his mounts.

Here's photos of some of Tedd Riggs' bucks from Winter 1996 issue of Trophy Hunter magazine. I have another article with his story I'll post later today.

More Ted Riggs- - wish I could have met him, but I have seen his name on some aspen on the Kaibab and I've been to Riggs Point-I think of him every time I'm there and I've chased some big bucks on that point.

 

[LIK2HNT]

Yep, he killed some big ones
