The Boone and Crockett Club 



as this, its usefulness and its influence. It has not 

 been the Club's practice to announce its purposes, 

 nor to glory in what it has accomplished, but rather 

 to move steadfastly forward, striving constantly to 

 do whatever fell within its province which would 

 tend to promote the country's welfare. Some mem- 

 bers not closely in touch with the Club's active 

 work are not well informed as to what it has done, 

 and it is in a measure for the purpose of acquaint- 

 ing such members with facts of its accomplish- 

 ments that this paper has been prepared. 



It would have been natural and easy for the Club 

 to have confined its activities to meeting at intervals 

 to dine, and discuss abuses and dangers, and to pass 

 stirring resolutions, about them. Instead of this, 

 it has had a small body of intelligent men, scat- 

 tered all over the country, working individually 

 and constantly in behalf of things once laughed at 

 or unknown, but now as familiar to the public mind 

 as household words. The results accomplished by 

 the Boone and Crockett Club bear testimony to the 

 alertness and energy of its members, and to the 

 success of the methods which they have pursued.
