Mission It is the mission of the Boone and Crockett Club to promote the conservation and management of wildlife, especially big game, and its habitat, to preserve and encourage hunting and to maintain the highest ethical standards of fair chase and sportsmanship in North America. Score Big Game. Working with Club members George Bird Grinnell, Madison Grant, Gifford Pinchot, and 20 other visionaries—including outdoor sports enthusiasts, scientists, military and political leaders, explorers, artists, writers and industrialists—Roosevelt laid a foundation for the world's greatest conservation system.
Over several decades the Club initiated legislation for the first national parks, including Yellowstone, Glacier, Denali, and Grand Canyon. In addition it pushed for the earliest science-based wildlife management legislation, which resulted in the Timberland Reserve Bill, the Yellowstone Protection Act, the Lacey Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and protective Alaska game laws.
The Club also initiated and championed all of our principle federal land management agencies, including the U. Fish and Wildlife Service. In June , the Boone and Crockett Club hired a full-time game warden to protect its remaining deer.
In addition, the Club created the first big game scoring and data collection system to objectively measure and evaluate the health and habitat quality of North American big game populations, while improving state and federal management of those animals.
The Club continues to sponsor numerous research programs and countless symposia, and supports the continued growth of America's conservation system. The Boone and Crockett Club promotes outdoor ethics for all people, emphasizing shared use of natural resources that protect opportunities for future generations. One major focus is protecting wildlife habitat on public and private lands, and the associated outdoor recreational experiences that are found on those properties. Fair Chase extends beyond the hunt, too, making it the very core of a conservation ethic that extends to all who enjoy wildlife and wild lands and make use of those resources.
Fair Chase is the Boone and Crockett philosophy and has been so since the beginning. This makes the club the longest standing organization to champion Fair Chase in North America. The hunting and game laws recognized today—from Alaska to Alabama, from New Mexico to New Brunswick, and all places between—are a result of the statement, philosophies and efforts of the Boone and Crockett Club.
