Honor the animal
Today, the subject of record books and "what it scores" are often controversial. The focus on big animals and inflated egos degrade and undermine the entire purpose of record keeping organizations. Simply stated, it's about honoring the animal and contributing to our conservation efforts. The Records Program provides a poignant opportunity to honor each individual outstanding big game animal, for posterity and throughout all of time.
I've been an active Pope & Young member since 1994 and have been measuring big game antlers, skulls, and horns for more than 15 years. I also measure for Northwest Big Game, Inc. (state books for WA, OR, ID, MT), Oregon Shed Hunters, and the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association.
If you're in the area and would like to have your skulls, antlers, or horns measured, please feel free to contact me.
Why maintain record books?
"The Pope and Young Records Program archives provide great insight into the past and present management, health and trends of North America’s wildlife populations and bowhunting opportunities. The Records are a testimonial to wildlife, traditional wildlife management and the importance and success of hunting as a management tool."
