How Do You Register A Boone And Crockett

In one case a trophy has been measured, there are a number of entry requirements that need to exist fulfilled to insure the efficient and accurate processing of the bays entry.

Complete Score Chart

The about obvious and basic item needed to enter a trophy is a fully completed original score nautical chart, signed and dated by a B&C Official Measurer. While the nearly current score chart is preferable we will accept any score nautical chart completed by a Boone and Crockett Social club Official Measurer. Copies of score charts tin be obtained past calling Boone and Crockett Club at 406/542-1888 or downloading them here so long as copies of the front and dorsum are printed on only one canvas of newspaper. Entries submitted on Pope and Young Order score charts are not accustomed for entry. When an entry is not submitted on the correct (and properly completed) score chart, the Measurer will be asked to set and submit a right and accurate original score chart for that entry.

Entry Fee

A fee of $40 U.Due south. in the form of check, money order, or credit card authority must back-trail each entry. If the entry fee is not included with the entry materials, or if the incorrect amount is tendered, the trophy owner is notified that the consummate entry fee is needed and processing is held upwardly until the correct amount is received. Boone and Crockett Club Official Measurers, museums, Game and Fish agencies, and other similar not-for-turn a profit organizations are exempt from paying the entry fee.

Photograph Requirements

Each entry must be accompanied by clearly-focused, close-up, black and white or color photographs; slides are not acceptable. All carry and cat entries must be accompanied by photos of the front, left side, right side, and top of the clean, dried skull. All antlered and horned category entries must exist accompanied by photos of the front, left side, and right side of the trophy. The photos tin can be of either the mounted or unmounted bays, so long as all the trophy's features (antlers, horns, etc.) are conspicuously visible. All side photos, peculiarly those of moose, must be taken at right angles to the caput of the trophy, to clearly illustrate the trophy'southward characteristics.

These photographs can exist taken at any fourth dimension, and enable the records office to verify the scoring procedure of each entry by comparing the photographs to the measurements on the score chart. In addition, they add together valuable information to each bays'south file that cannot exist obtained in any other manner.

Digital photographs (non CDs, retentivity cards, or flash drives) are acceptable in place of regular print photographs at present that the engineering is available to guarantee and protect the integrity of the Club'due south archives.

Noncompliance with photograph requirements will cause delays in processing or in some cases, rejection. All the required photographs are needed to insure that the trophy is properly documented and correctly scored.

While field photos are not required, the records role would like to obtain a good-quality photo of each bays possessor with their bays. Loftier quality field photos are regularly used in various Boone and Crockett Club publications, in addition to helping verify conditions of the chase.

In the case of a new state or provincial record, the records part would like to obtain a good quality portrait photograph of the mounted trophy. Such photos are used equally full page features for each state and provincial record in species specific tape books such as Records of Northward American Whitetail Deer and others that are periodically published and updated from time to time. Each land and provincial record in these books is featured with a full page portrait photograph.

Entry Affidavit Notarization

An original current Entry Affidavit, properly signed and witnessed, is a necessary requirement for each hunter-taken entry. As of 2015, the correct Entry Affirmation is no longer on the back of all score charts; it is a separate course. Click here to download a current copy of the Entry Affirmation. The hunter'southward signature on the Entry Affidavit needs to exist notarized by a notary public, or witnessed by a B&C Official Measurer. If the Entry Affidavit is witnessed by a B&C Official Measurer, it does not have to be the aforementioned Measurer that scored the bays. Any B&C Official Measurer tin can witness the hunter's signature on the Entry Affidavit.

Once a trophy has been measured that makes the minimum score, the Measurer should give the bays owner an opportunity to thoroughly read the Entry Affidavit. In one case the hunter is satisfied that they sympathize all the conditions listed and the hunt meets all aspects of the Entry Affirmation, they should sign information technology in the presence of the Measurer who should then witness the hunter'due south signature. Please note that the Measurer's signature witnessing an Entry Affidavit is in addition to the Measurer's signature on the score chart verifying their measurements.

In Canada the notary public is known as the Commissioner of Oaths. Therefore, Canadian bays owners may accept their signature witnessed by a Commissioner of Oaths in lieu of a B&C Official Measurer. In addition, Canadian trophy owners may accept their signature witnessed on the Entry Affidavit by an employee of a Game and Fish agency. If trophy owners choose the pick to have their signature verified on the Entry Affidavit, they need to include a business organization carte of the Game and Fish bureau employee with the Affidavit.

In states or provinces where party hunting is legal more than one hunter may be listed in the records book (some allow up four hunters). All the same, in guild to list more than 1 person as the hunter, each hunter must submit a signed and witnessed Entry Affidavit, as well as a re-create of their hunting license/tag for the trophy beingness entered. To list more than than ane owner for a trophy in the records book, the hunter simply needs to include the names of all the owners on the owner line on the score chart.

Materials Release Form for Non-hunter Taken Trophies

Bays owners submitting purchased trophies, picked up trophies, trophies of unknown origin (due east.g., auctions, yard sales, etc.), or trophies taken by deceased hunters, etc., must sign the Materials Release Form, which is on the dorsum of the Entry Affirmation. This signature does not demand to be witnessed by a notary public or Boone and Crockett Order Official Measurer.

Hunter, Guide, and Chase Information Sheet

Each entry that was taken by a hunter must also include a completed Hunter, Guide, and Hunt (HGH) Data canvas, even if the services of a guide were not employed on the hunt. The hunter simply needs to consummate the parts of the HGH form that apply to their item trophy. The HGH course and all other required forms are available from the Official Measurer, the Records Office, or they can exist downloaded hither.

Hunting License and/or Tags and Possession/Salve permit

A copy of the appropriate hunting license and/or tags, if applicable, must accompany each entry that was taken by a hunter. If a re-create of the license and/or tags is no longer available, the Order will accept a argument from an appropriate Game and Fish agency official who will certify that a license (and any required tags) was possessed by the hunter at the time the trophy was taken. If the Game and Fish Agency no longer has records at its disposal to verify the purchase of a license, a written argument, on official letterhead, from Game and Fish personnel stating the fact that the license information is no longer available is acceptable. In such cases, the hunting license requirement volition exist waived. The records office also requires copies of export permits for trophies transported out of Mexico and Canada, especially CITES permits.

In the event of a found/picked up trophy we will need a copy of the possession/salvage let from the state/provincial game and fish bureau (if applicative).

The Entry Affidavit, Hunter Guide and Hunt Information class, and the hunting license copy, are only required for trophies that take been taken by hunters.
