Boone and Crockett Club Fellow Wesley Sarmento has spent two decades sleeping on the ground—from Montana’s backcountry to the Gobi Desert and back again. Today, he’s working with the Blackfeet Tribe on the edge of Glacier National Park to study bison reintroduction on their ancestral lands.

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.

Donations to B&C will help continue our Legacy of Conservation Leadership

Since its founding in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club’s history has exemplified leadership…that of developing, enhancing, and promoting America’s wildlife conservation movement.

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.

Founders' Circle members are among the Boone and Crockett Club's most committed and loyal donors who invest in our mission with gifts of $500,000 or more since 2023.
