Big Bucks, Bighorns and More 

The Boone and Crockett Club welcomes the Secretary’s Order 3447 issued today by Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that will ensure federal public lands are open for hunting and fishing opportunities. Following is a statement by Boone and Crockett Club chief executive officer Tony A. Schoonen.

The Boone and Crockett Club wishes to remind the hunting community of the foundational principles that govern its records program. For over a century, the Club’s records have served as a benchmark of conservation success and habitat health.

How do you raise a lifelong hunter? From squirrel woods to duck blinds, learn why low-pressure, high-action hunts are the secret to starting kids hunting.

I still remember the first time I was allowed to go hunting. I was eight years old—just old enough to have passed hunter safety.

A long-time Lifetime Associate and benefactor to conservation has provided the Boone and Crockett Club the opportunity to waive entry processing fees into the organization’s Records program. Thanks to the generous donation, the Boone and Crockett Club announced today that the usual $40 entry fee will not be charged this year for entries received after January 1, 2026.
