(Houston, TX- June 25, 2024) Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) and the “Hunting Matters with Joe Betar” podcast welcomes Luke Coccoli of Boone and Crockett Club.
Luke Coccoli is the Director of Conservation Programs for the Boone and Crockett Club based out of the Rasmuson Wildlife Conservation Center on the Club’s 6,000-acre Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch near Dupuyer, MT. He is a native Montanan and grew up along the Rocky Mountain Front his entire life, hunting deer and elk with his rifle or bow and fly-fishing for trout. He has a bachelor’s degree in Fish and Wildlife Management from Montana State University and a master’s degree in education – Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Montana.
He enjoys all the things which enable him to spend time outdoors especially hiking, camping, biking, running and packrafting. His two Airedale terriers, Olive and Otis, accompany him almost everywhere he goes to help keep the grizzly bears away from his lovely wife and three kids. His day-to-day summer job is to manage the Rasmuson Wildlife Conservation Center on the Club’s Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch which lies just south of Glacier National Park on the east side of the Continental Divide. Jack of all trades, master of none may define his duties best as they vary depending on which hat he is wearing that day, from NRA rifle and shotgun instructor to NASP archery instructor, Wilderness First Responder, and certified wildlife biologist through the Wildlife Society, just to name a few.
