LeRoy Beckman led a frugal life and appeared to be dirt poor; however, the 88-year-old bachelor had an estate worth around $3 million when he died in 1997. His will stated that he wanted his money used to buy land and then donate the land to the state for use by hunters. The money has purchased approximately 6,500 acres in Montana, and it will be called the Beckman Wildlife Management Area. The land is inhabited by antelope, wild turkeys, pheasants, foxes, coyotes, raptors, songbirds, mountain lions, and mule deer.
