 Craig is now the "Elk Hunting Capital of World," judged not by the kills or size of the herd but the legal trademark acquired by a local businessman, the Craig Daily Press reported Sunday.

John Ponikvar told the paper he had been promoting the area's hunting for five years, including a logo for his now legal claim. He wanted to make it official, so he started the trademark legal process in March, spending several thousand dollars, he said.

"It's worth it," Ponikvar told the newspaper. "Hopefully it's a source of pride for Craig and Moffat County, giving us some identity, that we are something in the world."
