Tyson museum takes visitors along on hunt for wild game

DOERUN ‒ When I woke up Monday morning, I had no way of knowing that I would witness an Alaskan brown bear take down a massive moose within minutes of observing a leopard tackling an impala. More surprisingly, both observations occurred in Doerun, thanks to the realization of James Tyson’s dream.

Tyson, a Doerun native and founder of Tyson Steel, has created an astounding museum of natural history, representative of Africa, South and Central America, North America, and Asia. For more than three decades, Tyson traveled the world, building an amazing collection of more than 175 species of game. His two sons, Brad and Jody, along with his wife Jackie also joined him on these global hunting and angling adventures.
