Boone and Crockett Club is the oldest wildlife-conservation organization in North America, founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell to promote the ethical hunting of big game and the preservation of habitat. The Club emphasizes the values of “fair chase” and science-based wildlife management, and it has played a key role in shaping major conservation policies and public lands systems. Today it continues to advocate for wildlife stewardship, habitat protection, and the responsible tradition of hunting.
