In the far northwest corner of the state sits a hunter’s dream. It’s called Essex County. With roughly 6,000 residents, it’s the least populous county in both Vermont and New England. What it lacks in human residents it more than makes up for in record-book entries for Canada moose. A few whitetail deer entries round out the county.

Bioengineers are making lab-grown elk meat. It’s molecularly identical to wild meat—but are you really eating the same thing?

Elk steaks sizzle over a crackling fire. For 10,000 years, this primal cookout required three things: an elk, the skills of a hunter, and a skosh of luck.

A Heartfelt Thank You To Our Extraordinary Supporters

The Boone and Crockett Club founders created a conservation legacy that began more than 135 years ago. We stand not only on their shoulders but on the foundation built by all of our members.

It’s been nearly 140 years since Theodore Roosevelt formed a coalition of sportsmen to establish the foundation for the World’s greatest conservation system. Chief among these individuals was George Bird Grinnell, editor of Forest & Stream magazine, Boone and Crockett Club President from 1918 to 1927, and later named Honorary President for Life.

In 1887 Theodore Roosevelt formed a coalition of gentlemen hunters in order to establish the foundation for the world’s greatest wildlife conservation system. Knowing that he could not accomplish this daunting task alone, he invited men of science, business, industry, politics, and public service to join him in forming the Boone and Crockett Club.

Founders' Circle members are among the Boone and Crockett Club's most committed and loyal donors who invest in our mission with gifts of $500,000 or more since 2023.
