B&C Fair Chase Certified

In the world of big game hunting, there is a line between a harvest and a hunt. That line is Fair Chase.

Born from the early conservation efforts of the Boone and Crockett Club, Fair Chase is more than a set of rules; it’s an ethical baseline. It demands the lawful, sportsmanlike pursuit of wild, free-ranging animals in a way that doesn’t give the hunter an improper advantage. It’s the decision to stretch the stalk instead of the shot and to value the quality of the experience over the score.

Fair Chase Certified is the Boone and Crockett Club's commitment to this code. Whether through the Club’s formal education programs or the signed affidavit required for every entry into the records, this certification is a testament that the animal was pursued with respect and restraint. It means the hunter chose the hard way because it’s the only way that preserves the integrity of wild animals and the wild places they call home.

The stories collected here aren't just about “success” or scores. They are stories that understand that the North American Model of Conservation only works if the chase remains fair.
