B&C's "Poach and Pay" Program Continues to Lead the Fight in Anti-Poaching Research

Poaching is a crime committed by thieves - not hunters. Those who share in the Boone and Crockett Club's long support of sustainable-use conservation want those thieves punished accordingly.

A 2015 research study by the Boone and Crockett Club found that 92.6 percent of sportsmen support higher fines for those convicted of poaching big-game animals, while 88 percent also support even higher fines for those convicted of poaching trophy-class, big-game animals. The results of this survey led to the development of the Boone and Crockett Club's "Poach and Pay" program.
