Bowhunting Big Game Records of North America

The Pope & Young Club is recognized as the official repository for records on bow-harvested North American big game. Together with the Boone & Crockett Club, the Pope and Young Club maintains the universally accepted scoring system and sets the standards for measuring and scoring big game.

Statistical data collected from the scoring are added to the Club archives as part of the organization's ever-growing file on North American big game species. Record books, supplements, and statistical summary pamphlets are periodically published to update the compiled information. These publications are available to interested individuals, wildlife agencies, and conservation organizations.

The P&Y Records Program archives provide great insight into the past and present management, health, and trends of North America's wildlife populations. The records are a testimonial to wildlife, traditional wildlife management, and the importance of hunting as a management tool.
