YOUR FULL PAGE AD HERE Fair Chase magazine is the official publi­ cation of the Boone And Crockett Club.

We are the leading authority on North American conservation, big game and fair chase. We are the oldest conservation organization in America.

Our members are some of the most di­ verse sportsmen and sportswomen that exist. They are experienced hunters that spend over 31 days a year in the field. They are affluent, well educated, and passion­ ate about conservation.

B&C readership stands at right around 7000 and is made up of Regular Members, Official Measures, Lifetime Associates and Associates.

The Fair Chase Yearbook is a first of its kind photo library of trophies submitted in 2017 to Club headquarters. The Year­ book is a fifth issue of Fair Chase magazine that we will be mailing to our readers in April 2018. Additional copies of this fifth issue will be sold to the public.

It’s the Club’s goal to partner with one company to help offset costs of the addi­ tional issue. Our partner will be prominently recognized as a sponsor of this additional issue of Fair Chase with the B&C Club and the affinity gained from this partnership will help build brand equity from our audience for our partner’s products.

What goes into making a great hunting photo? Professional photog­

raphers emphasize the importance, for example, of selecting a background that helps set the scene. What’s really “behind the picture,” though, can be hard to see. It might have been a tough climb or a long hike. Likely it was a stalk that tested your patience and perseverance. And for sure it was a shot where, in the end, you had to make the choice.

Great hunting photos are always those where you earned your spot next to the animal. Best wishes for many great hunting seasons to come!
