Book excerpt: "American Big Game in Its Haunts..." is a book by the Boone and Crockett Club on the preservation of wild game of North America. This book, the fourth one published by the club, looks at the 'forest reserve game refuge system', then being implemented in America and points to it as the most practical way to preserve America's big game species. It was at a dinner given to a few friends, who were also big-game hunters, at his New York house, in December, 1887, that Theodore Roosevelt first suggested the formation of the Boone and Crockett Club. The association was to be made up of men using the rifle in big-game hunting, who should meet from time to time to discuss subjects of interest to hunters. The idea was received with enthusiasm, and the purposes and plans of the club were outlined at this dinner. Since then the club has been instrumental in advocating against the destruction of various American species wholesale and through the efforts of the Club, strongly backed by the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture, a bill was passed regulating the taking of Alaska large game, and especially the exportation of heads, horns, and hides.
