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.

The Boone and Crockett Club's Roughriders Society recognizes those individuals who have included the Boone and Crockett Club Foundation in their estate plans.

The Boone and Crockett Club was founded by Theodore Roosevelt at a time when it was the only organization in America dedicated to the conservation of our nation’s natural resources.

To support engaging more women in outdoor activities, the Boone and Crockett Club’s education program will be hosting two retreats on the Rocky Mountain Front of Montana in 2026.

With archives of more than 45,000 big-game trophies dating back to 1830, perhaps no organization sees more field photos, from wow to meh, than Boone and Crockett Club.

Trophy data is vital for conservation because it gauges species, population and habitat health.
