Conservation
Making a living and growing a business in the hunting industry is special. Hunters are more passionate end users than individuals in any other specialty past time we have ever come across. We are no different at Stone Glacier. Not only is it sound business practice to protect our right to hunt and to conserve the animals we love to pursue but personally and professionally we are proud to go above and beyond the norm. If you look inside the walls of Stone Glacier you’ll see that we have rooted ourselves in the conservation community. One of our employees started an organization known as 2% for Conservation. So, you can see…it’s more than just talking the talk. It’s walking the walk.
Here are a few of the ways Stone Glacier helps protect the future of wildlife:

Boone and Crockett Club Established in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club was founded by hunters who dedicated their lives to the conservation of wildlife. As the turn of the 20th century approached our nation, these men had to make a choice: stand by and watch our cherished wildlife disappear or work for the protection and propagation of our wildlife resource. Thankfully, they rose to the challenge and chose the latter.
Today, the Boone and Crockett Club continues to build upon the legacy of wildlife conservation established by Roosevelt and Grinnell. While not an exhaustive list, the topics below are the key issues of the Boone and Crockett Club. To learn more about the Boone and Crockett Club visit their website at www.boone-crockett.org.

Non-Profit Donation and Discount Program + An important way conservation groups raise money is through fundraising campaigns. These campaigns often rely heavily on donated or discounted merchandise for resale in the form of raffles, games, sweepstakes, etc. Stone Glacier has developed a program to support all pro-hunting and fishing non-profits by offering them fully donated or deeply discounted product for use in their fundraisers. If you are a volunteer for a non-profit and are interested in more details of this program, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@stoneglacier.com.
