About Boone and Crockett Club
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.

Founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt, the Boone and Crockett Club is America’s oldest wildlife and habitat conservation organization. The Club’s Big Game Records program is the gold standard for measuring and recognizing North American big game trophies, maintaining a database that spans more than a century of wildlife conservation history. Our work supports hunters, wildlife managers, and conservationists in preserving America’s outdoor heritage for future generations.
