“The Boone and Crockett Club has been at the center of hunting and wildlife conservation since we were founded by Theodore Roosevelt 138 years ago. We have so many stories about our members and issues we’ve been involved with in the past, but we also have so much we are actively involved in that we want to let people know about,” said Club CEO Tony Schoonen who is featured in Episode 0 that provides an overview of the Club’s history and outlines the vision for the podcast. “We are excited to launch a podcast that offers us a new platform to share our story with an even broader audience.”

Designed in a shorter format—most episodes will be 30 to 45 minutes long—the Boone and Crockett Club’s Heritage of the Hunt podcast will include broad content relevant to hunters and those passionate about the great outdoors. The primary podcast will focus on interviews with members, industry leaders, scientists, policy makers, and more who will shine a light on a wide range of topics. In addition, subchannels of the podcast will include Roosevelt Ranch Radio featuring the Club’s outdoor education and conservation efforts at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch near Dupuyer, Montana. Other areas will focus on voices of fair chase, beyond the score and big game records stories, member spotlights, impact series readings, and much more. Produced by Trout Stream Studios, the podcast will feature high quality audio and video with in studio, remote, and “roving” interviews.

“The Boone and Crockett Club’ Heritage of the Hunt podcast will be a fantastic opportunity for us to enhance our content,” Schoonen concluded. “We hope that people will share episodes with their friends and family and help us spread our conservation and fair chase ethics messaging far and wide.”
