FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper or unfair advantage over the game animals. 

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.
