The Boone and Crockett Club has released its fifth edition of the Records of North American Whitetail Deer, once again placing the most complete book of trophy records into the hands of envious American hunters.

Containing detailed tabular listings of 12,254 whitetail trophies—ranked according to their all-time Boone and Crockett scores—the new book gives hunters throughout the country something to dream about. 4,692 entries, including 34 new state and provincial records, have been added since the last edition was printed in 2003.

Records of North American Whitetail Deer also includes photos of standout specimens, plus chapters written by some of the world's foremost authorities on whitetails.

The book retails at $34.95 and will be available in stores or directly from the Boone and Crockett Club.
