PA Big Game Records book
It’s nowavailable—Pennsylvania’s big game records in a bound, print version. The Big Game Scoring Program “record book” has been on the Game Commission’s website for several years now, and will continue to be so, but now the Game Commission has put the record book listing in a bound booklet form.
Pennsylvania’s Big Game Scoring Program is based on the Boone & Crockett Club’s scoring program that was copyrighted by that organization in 1950. Established in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt, the B&C Club was initially organized for the conservation of wildlife and natural resources on a national basis.
Scoring and keeping track of big game animals is important because harvesting a record book animal brings to attention the excellence of habitat and wildlife management practices that produce quality wildlife populations. The Big Game Scoring Program also stresses hunter and conservation ethics, and is another tool that promotes recreational hunting and supports Pennsylvania’s strong hunting heritage.
Pennsylvania Big Game Records contains a wealth of information, including the minimum scores required for each big game category, some Boone & Crockett Club and Pope & Young Club information, a few photos, but most importantly, the trophy listings. In each big game category the trophy is ranked, the hunter is listed, and the county, year taken and the trophy score are listed. The record book is not only interesting, but it can be used as a tool to identify where the “big ones” are being taken.
Copies of the Pennsylvania Big Game Records are available from the Game Commission online at The Outdoor Shop, www.pgc.state.pa.us, or call 1-888-888-3459, or mail your remittance to: PA Game Commission, Dept. MS, 2001 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110-9797. The book costs $5, which includes sales tax, plus $1.25 shipping and handling. For additional information, contact Pennsylvania Big Game Records Program Coordinator Bob D’Angelo at the Game Commission headquarters in Harrisburg—[email protected].
