Sponsoring the 29th Big Game Awards “There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.�

August 6, 1912 - Theodore Roosevelt, Founder Boone and Crockett Club

WHAT DO BIG GAME TROPHIES HAVE TO DO WITH CONSERVATION? THE ANSWER IS, EVERYTHING. A trophy big game animal means different things to different people. In the greater context of wildlife conservation, a Boone and Crockett trophy is proof that the system that manages wildlife, as a public trust resource is working and continues to work. In simplest terms, mature male specimens old enough and large enough to make the record book would not be in existence today if this system were not working.

All wildlife and their habitats today, and game species in particular, depend on the participation, and observation-based input provided by sportsmen, as well as the funding provided through their participation in traditional outdoor activities.

Measuring Successful Conservation Every three years the Boone and Crockett Club hosts an event reaffirming our hunting and conservation heritage by inviting the largest trophies taken in recent years to a triennial Awards Celebration and Banquet.

Welcoming a New Partner,

Bass Pro Shops

Johnny Morris’s Bass Pro Shops and the new America’s Wildlife Museum & Aquarium in Springfield, Missouri will be hosting the 29th Big Game Awards. Morris has created the greatest attraction for conservation, education, and advocacy of fish and wildlife of its kind in North America.

We at Bass Pro Shops and America’s Wildlife Museum and Aquarium are very excited and proud to welcome, host, and reaffirm the success of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation through the Boone & Crockett Club’s 29th Big Game Awards. Clearly, as Boone and Crockett’s tag line states, ‘When Hunting Happens, Conservation Happens.’ It is fitting to honor the outstanding trophies of the last three years that are a result of sustainable use conservation and fair chase sportsmen. These outstanding big game animals and sportsmen being recognized are proof that the North American Model is working and must continue if we are to ensure wildlife for the future. We welcome you to Springfield in 2016!

- Johnny Morris
