When there's almost 700 pages in a book, you know there has to be a lot of good information—and there's no doubt that the Boone and Crockett Club's sixth edition of "Records of North American Whitetail Deer" delivers on that promise.

Boone and Crockett Club professional member Dan Dessecker will represent the interests of hunters and anglers on a federal advisory committee that helps guide management of 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands.

Dessecker works as director of conservation policy for the Ruffed Grouse Society.

The largest pronghorn ever recorded has been certified by Boone and Crockett Club as a new World's Record. The huge buck, hunted in Socorro County, N.M., in 2013, scores 96-4/8 B&C points.

Thirty-six conservation pros from across the U.S. are about to embark on a training odyssey described as "one of the most far-reaching professional development initiatives ever undertaken" in natural resource conservation. The Boone and Crockett Club welcomes these ambitious new leaders.

The new administration has joined in a call to conserve 30% of lands and waters by 2030; the hunting and fishing community’s century of conservation should provide a roadmap

Eighty years ago - Aug. 22, 1934 - the first duck stamp was sold. Since then, thanks mostly to hunters, the stamps have generated more than $800 million and helped secure over 6 million acres of wetland habitat in the U.S. The Boone and Crockett Club marks that day as a major milestone in the North American conservation movement, and says the 80th anniversary is worth remembering.

The ethical issue isn't the 350-yard shot. The real concern, as Boone and Crockett Club sees it, is hunters not trying to get a closer one.

Only B&C Members should be able to see this.
