“boone and crockett”

Deer hunters who seek to add a buck to the Boone and Crockett records book would do well searching these states, where careful management has resulted in a bumper crop of bruisers.

The speed at which mind-boggling advances were introduced last year underscores the importance of the joint effort launched by the Boone and Crockett Club and National Rifle Association’s Hunters’ Leadership Forum (HLF) in 2023. Last year the result of that project, the free Fair Chase and Hunter Ethics Course, went live.

For most big game hunters, the chance to square your sights on a 400-inch elk is an once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Every time an elk hunter sends a bugle echoing through the hills he's hoping to get closer to the ultimate Wapiti record breaker. To help all you bone collectors get pumped up for this season, we've compiled eight examples of Boone & Crockett elk. Enjoy. (photos: Boone & Crockett Club)

When Kansas bowhunter Brian Butcher arrowed a whitetail in Chase County last October, it was immediately obvious it was something special.

Congressman Steve Daines introduced legislation on Jan. 29 that guarantees funding for improved hunter access to pre-existing public lands.

It’s not every day a whitetail’s antlers break the 300 B&C score mark, let alone surpass the current World’s Record by more than 20 inches!

A special Pope and Young Club judges panel has declared a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep taken in South Dakota in 2018 as the new world record with a final score of 209⅛ inches, surpassing the previous world-record ram by nearly 10 inches.
