A BOOK OF THE BOONE AND CROCKETT CLUB CONTAINING TABULATIONS OF OUTSTANDING NORTH AMERICAN BIG GAME TROPHIES
"No one but he who has partaken thereof, can understand the keen delight of hunting in lonely lands. For him is the joy of the horse well ridden and the rifle well held; for him the long days of toil and hardship, resolutely endured, and crowned at the end with triumph. In after-years there shall come forever to his mind the memory of endless prairies shimmering in the bright sun; of vast snow-clad wastes lying desolate under gray skies; of the melancholy marshes; of the rush of mighty rivers; of the breath of the evergreen forest in summer; of the crooning of ice-armored pines at the touch of winds of winter; of cataracts roaring between hoary mountain masses; of all the innumerable sights and sounds of the wilderness; of its immensity and mystery; and of the silences that brood in its still depths."
Theodore Roosevelt
Founder and First President

records of north american big game
The official records book for outstanding native North American big game trophies.
Compiled by the Boone and Crockett Club from data in their records archives and edited by Wm. H. Nesbitt and Philip L. Wright
This is the eighth records book of the series begun by the Boone and Crockett Club in 1932. It is based on the Boone and Crockett Club's copyright scoring system, universally recognized as the standard for native North American big game. Its data furnishes a valuable reference for hunters, wildlife managers, and others seriously interested in our native big game populations. This book:
• recognizes new world's record trophies in Alaska-Yukon moose, mountain caribou, muskox, pronghorn, and black bear, plus significant ranking changes throughout the listings.
• lists nearly 7,000 individual trophies in 31 categories, giving rank in category, final score, selected measurements, locahty taken, and name(s) of hunter and owner. Sportsmen can thus rate their own trophies against those listed.
