This review is from: Boone and Crockett Club's 24th Big Game Awards, 1998-2000 (Boone and Crockett Club's Big Game Awards) (Hardcover)
I love to hunt elk, deer and antelope and wrote the book Colorado's Biggest Bucks and Bulls, so I found this book very helpful when including B&C big game from Colorado in my book listings and index. The field photographs are excellent and the design is clever. I am especially fond of the records listings because it helps me plan my future hunts.
