As a result of your past, generous financial support, the Boone and Crockett Club had another great year and continues to be a strong leader in the conservation and hunting community.
We are a small organization, and the job is not always easy, especially in the face of a struggling economy and uncertainty about the future. Caring for our nation’s wildlife resources has never been easy. Is it worth all the effort, resources, and energy? Before you answer, think about life without hunting, which was almost a reality before the Club was formed. Think about how this impressive system of hunting and conservation was developed largely thanks to a handful of concerned sportsmen and women like you.
This system will not sustain itself without solving the many challenges it faces. While we all remain committed to this critical task, it must constantly be nurtured as there is much competition for funding to manage this system, and special interest groups seem to constantly have their own plans that go well beyond why these policies and funding levels were established. However, it is our duty as the architect of this system to maintain and improve it. To do so, we must do a better job of being more involved in the process and unify our collective strengths and apply them to common challenges and opportunities to develop collaborative solutions.
This important work depends on continued support from members and donors. Please consider increasing your current, tax-deductible contribution. While these valuable funds are the backbone of the Club’s revenue, contributions over and above this amount allow us to build upon our mission. Our founder, Theodore Roosevelt, said it best, “Let us remember that, as much as has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.”
As part of the Boone and Crockett family, we thank you in advance for your continued financial support and devotion to the mission of this great Club. Future generations will be proud of the legacy you helped create and nurture.
Note: Emeritus Member dues go to support the operations of the Club.
Consider making a contribution above and beyond your dues this year. This additional contribution will go to the Boone and Crockett Club Foundation as an unrestricted donation and be distributed at year end to support Club programs. Enter the amount you want to donate into the quantity field.
"The wildlife and its habitat cannot speak. So we must and we will."
