The Boone and Crockett Club 
The Club is organized primarily to pro- 
mote manly sport with the rifle among the 
large game of the wilderness, to encourage 
travel and exploration in little-known regions 
of our country, and to work for game and 
forest preservation by the State. Attention 
has been paid to all three points by the Club, 
but especially to sport and protection. Nev- 
ertheless exploration has not been neglected. 
In a trip after wilderness game the hunter is 
perforce obliged to traverse and explore little- 
known regions, at least when he is in search 
of the rarer animals, or is desirous of 
reaching the best hunting-grounds; and in 
addition to such exploration, which is merely 
incidental to the ordinary hunting trip, mem- 
bers of the Club have done not a little ori- 
ginal exploration for its own sake, including 
surveying, and geographical and geological 
map-making. The results of these explora- 
tions, when sufficiently noteworthy, have 
appeared in periodicals devoted to such 
subjects, or in Government reports. The
