In the late 1800s, North America's wildlife was on the brink. Bison, elk, deer, even migratory birds were being wiped out at a staggering pace. The landscape was nearly devoid of wild game. Then in 1887, Theodore Roosevelt and a small group of hunters decided enough was enough. They founded the Boone and Crockett Club, and what followed was one of the greatest conservation comebacks in history. Today, elk numbers alone top one million.
