BOONE AND CROCKETT CLUB ASSOCIATES PROGRAM
The Boone and Crockett Club’s Associates Program was created
in 1986 for individuals who support ethical, fair chase hunting,
and conservation of wildlife and habitat. Anyone can sign up to
become an Associate of the Boone and Crockett Club.
WHY JOIN THE OLDEST PRO-HUNTER CONSERVATION
ORGANIZATION IN NORTH AMERICA?
You're hunting today because we were there! For over 100
years the Boone and Crockett Club and its members have stood guard
over our sporting way of life, wildlife and wildlife habitat —
enhancing and conserving so everyone will have the opportunity
to hunt, a place to hunt and healthy populations of game once
they get there.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Boone and Crockett Club was founded by Theodore Roosevelt,
along with other visionaries in 1887 over the concerns that we
might someday lose our hunting privileges and the wildlife populations
for future generations. The Boone and Crockett Club is more than
just big game records — the Club and its members have been
responsible for a long list of activities that either created
or preserved the hunting opportunities we enjoy today. Here are
just a few of these accomplishments:
- The Club’s Fair Chase statement was the cornerstone of
the establishment of hunting seasons, bag limits, and the abolishment
of market hunting practices.
- Club members helped to create the Lacey Act prohibiting the interstate shipment of illegally taken game.
- Club members helped to establish the federal duck stamp program.
- The National Forest Service, the National Park Service, and National Wildlife Refuge systems exist today in large part because of the extensive efforts of the Club and its members.
- Club members helped establish the Pittman-Robertson Act, which dedicated the monies from an excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition to go toward wildlife and habitat conservation.
- The Club has also been responsible for the support and continued
success of numerous conservation, pro-hunter, and pro-big game
programs across North America.
Your $35.00 goes to support the Club’s ongoing efforts to
insure that, not only is wildlife and wildlife habitat given the
attention it deserves, but our sporting heritage is preserved
for future generations.
