A Whitetail Retrospective: Vintage Photos and Memorabilia from the Boone and Crockett Club Archives, and Boone and Crockett Club’S 26Th Big Game Awards It is the policy of the Boone and Crockett Club to promote the guardianship and provident management of big game and associated wildlife in North America and to maintain the highest standards of fair chase and sportsmanship in all aspects of big game hunting, in order that this resource of all the people may survive and prosper in its natural habitats. Consistent with this objective, the Club supports the use and enjoyment of our wildlife heritage to the fullest extent by this and future generations of mankind. Message from the President/CEO Boone and Crockett Club 2007 ANNUAL ReporT The Annual Report is a report card to the members and supporters of the Mission of the Boone and Crockett Club. I hope you will be pleased with the progress being made through the efforts of the Club’s directors, officers, committees, and staff. We have expanded many of the programs and the related increased financial expenditures are a consequence of these efforts. The financial condition of the Club is sound. Major funding is being supplied through dues, contributions, Endowment income and licensing revenue. The net assets of the Club and Foundation stand at $16.0 million up $1.1 million from the previous year. Our goal to build the Endowment to $20 million remains intact. Within the past two years the Endowment has grown by $2.4 million to a total of $9.4 million. I look forward to moving on to my next assignment – as I join the ranks of immediate past president. Thank you for the opportunity to serve. Sincerely, C.

Dickinson State University hosted a Theodore Roosevelt Symposium to coincide with the dedication events. The Club owes this achievement to Lowell Baier, Executive Vice President. Baier has worked tirelessly for 30 months to secure this historic arrangement. This is an achievement of which all members can be proud. Our unique relationship with the Bush Administration and wildlife management agencies in Washington helped pave the way for this to become a reality.

  • Military History Anniversaries 16 Thru 31 January
    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 31 January Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests JAN 16 1776 – Amrican Revolutionary War: African-American Soldiers » It was an uncomfortable fact for many in the colonies that at the same time they were fighting the British for their liberty and freedom they were depriving slaves of that same opportunity. African-American soldiers, in fact, had participated in major Revolutionary War battles from its very start: around 5% of American forces at the battle of Bunker Hill were black. New England units were completely integrated with soldiers receiving the same pay regardless of color. Still, fears of a rebellion of armed slaves tempered official American recognition of the contribution of blacks. On this date General George Washington allowed for the first time for free blacks with military experience to enlist in the revolutionary army. A year later, as the American need for manpower increased, Washington dropped the military experience requirement, allowing any free black who so wishes to enlist. The Continental Congress tried to recruit more African-Americans by offering to purchase them from the Southern slaveholders. Unsurprisingly, few agreed. But enterprising states like Rhode Island made an end run around the slaveholders, announcing any slave who enlisted would immediately be freed. (Rhode Island compensated the slaveholder for the market value of their slave.) The “1st Rhode Island Regiment” was comprised mostly of those freed slaves, becoming the only Continental Army unit to have segregated units for blacks.

But leave it to a transplanted Englishman—or in this case, painter-writer John Seerey-Lester—to artfully remind American hunters and anglers that their greatest conservation hero still commands towering importance. When Seerey-Lester started creating historic “predicament scenes” featuring TR a decade ago, he knew he had tapped into something that might possibly arouse the passions of sporting art collectors. Just how much, Seerey-Lester couldn’t possibly have imagined. “John’s paintings are timeless and appear Roosevelt harvested the giant tusker while Today, his nostalgic portrayals of Roosevelt on the life-like, as if Roosevelt were still here with on an expedition funded by both the American hunt in the late 19th and early 20th centuries have put us,” Yturria says. “They take us back to an era Museum of Natural History in New York City Seerey-Lester’s originals at peak demand.
