I hear all you guys talk about hes going Pope and Young and others say he is going Boone and Crockett....what the heck is the difference?

Pope and Young is basically archery only and the entry level is a little lower.

Boone and Crocket will accept any entry but the bottom line entry is a little higher. I do not know the numbers without looking them up, but I believe that is the case.

In my opinion, I would much rather have a Pope & Young deer because it was taken with a bow...

I believe P&Y is 125" minimum and B&C is 170" minimum

P&Y is for game taken with archery equiptment, except X-bows. B&C is for anything, archery, rifle,hand gun, pick ups (found dead) or even purchased at a rummage sale. No pen raised or high fence animals. P&Y minimums are 125" for typical and 150" or 155" (I forgot) for non-typical.

The B&C minimums are 170" for typical and 195" for non-typical. These are for the all time record book. B&C also has a "modern day" score for a single time period. The minimums for this are 160" for typical and I believe 185" for non-typical.

For further information go to their respective web sites.

I'd much rather have a booner than a P&Y buck. A booner with a bow is automatically P&Y. I let 125" bucks keep right on walking

A 125" deer is a very nice buck. A 170" buck is an absolute monster.

Not unless you enter it in both organizations. The fee was $25 a piece.

il bow man is right boone is bigger and fyi legacy is wrong the take bow kills if the r big enough to measure up

Legacy357

i meant it because it is only bow and arrow...not guns...I take much more pride in killing a big one with my bow than a gun....
