Justin Spring Executive Director - P&Y Club
Justin is a lifelong hunter, fisherman, and conservationist. Growing up on the
southern Oregon coast he cut his teeth on blacktails, Roosevelt elk, spot and
stalk black bear, waterfowl, and upland of the region.
He attended college in Ashland, Wisconsin where he obtained his degree in natural resources from Northland College. While here, he became immersed in the whitetail world of the upper Midwest. In addition to enjoying the world-class grouse and
deer hunting and opportunities supplied by Lake Superior, Justin found the time
to serve on the local Trout Unlimited chapter board.
After meeting his now hunting partner and wife in college, they moved back out west
first to Oregon, then Idaho and finally landing in Montana in 2008 where Justin
took a job as the Assistant Director of Big Game Records for Boone and Crockett
Club.
He spent 15 years at Boone and Crockett rising to the Director of
Big Game Records. During this time, he served 9 years on the Board of the
Montana Wild Sheep Foundation.
On September 5 2023 Justin assumed the role as the Executive Director of Pope and Young and continues in that position today.
He has been fortunate enough to hunt many western states and throughout the US. Some of his favorite hunting accomplishments include an unguided public land deer slam as well as accomplishing the same feat with all three species of moose.
Justin's experience brings to Pope and Young comes from both
his professional goals and personal passion for hunting and conservation.

Crockett Club starting as their Assistant Director of Big Game Records in 2008
and moving into the Director of Big Game Records role in 2015. He holds a BS
