The Latest News in Conservation
The Boone and Crockett Club is proud to announce that FIOCCHI has signed on as a Gold Trailblazer in Conservation partner with a multi-year agreement through 2026. The company renewed its sponsorship, continuing its commitment to the Club’s overall mission 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. FIOCCHI’s contribution not only includes being a Trailblazer for three years, but also includes supporting the Club’s More to the Score and Wildlife Caught on Camera Photo Galleries, which are available online and in print in the Club’s quarterly magazine, Fair Chase. In addition, they will also be a Presenting Sponsor of the 32nd Big Game Awards scheduled for July 2025.
“Businesses in our industry have long understood that successful conservation and science-based resource management ensure that their customers will continue to enjoy the freedom to hunt and shoot, have easy access to these activities, and find game plentiful once they get there. But that’s an increasingly complex proposition and we must evolve to keep pace,” said Tony Schoonen, Chief Executive Officer of the Boone and Crockett Club. “Our Trailblazers in Conservation sponsorship program is an opportunity for industry partners, like FIOCCHI, to help us accomplish our mission, as well as giving them an opportunity to get actively involved in these efforts through the Club.”
Since its founding by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club and its members led the development of policies that protected federal public lands, developed the frameworks of modern game laws, funded conservation efforts, and reinforced the vision of sustainable use of our natural resources. Throughout its history, these accomplishments have been supported through strategic partnerships with state and federal agencies, policy makers, other non-governmental hunter-conservationist organizations, universities, and business and industry. The Boone and Crockett Club’s Trailblazers in Conservation partnership program aims to help today’s hunting community rise to the challenges of a changing world. Becoming a Trailblazer in Conservation shows the commitment from industry partners and others to support the mutual interests of scientific wildlife management, hunter ethics, and conservation advocacy.
“We at FIOCCHI are proud to continue our support of and commitment to the Boone and Crockett Club and its mission,” said Christian Hogg, Director of Marketing at FIOCCHI. “The Club is leading the way for wildlife and conservation efforts through advocacy and action. We look forward to working with the Club on accomplishing mission objectives, promoting hunting ethics and ensuring our hunting and shooting legacy continues.”
“We thank FIOCCHI for their continued sponsorship of the Boone and Crockett Club, which not only supports the Trailblazer program, but also extends to sponsoring our media summit at the 32nd Annual Big Game Awards ceremony in July 2025 at the Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri,” concluded Schoonen.
