On Thursday, June 11, a U.S. House of Representatives committee will vote on a bill that would clear the way for professional foresters to do their jobs, and the Boone and Crockett Club is urging sportsmen to support the measure.
The Boone and Crockett Club is out to help the hunting community rise to the challenges of a changing world and Zeiss Sports Optics is the Club's newest partner. The initiative is called "Trailblazers in Conservation."
The Boone and Crockett Club is applauding the U.S. House of Representatives for its vote to improve wildlife habitat and funding mechanisms for fighting wildfires. The House on July 9 passed H.R. 2647, the "Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015," sponsored by Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and supported by 26 national sporting and conservation organizations. The bill contains many of the best ideas for forest management considered by Congress over the last several years.
Through Trailblazers in Conservation, YETI is backing the Club's work in promoting scientific wildlife management, balanced policies, hunter advocacy and broader public understanding of the applications and benefits of sustainable-use conservation.
Hunting usually isn’t top-of-mind conversation in America’s literary circles, but that may be changing as a book published by Boone and Crockett Club continues to garner national honors and awards.
