Product Description
Records of North American Big Game is the official records book for outstanding North American big game trophies. This volume is the eleventh in a series of world renowned records books begun by the Boone and Crockett Club in 1932. The tabular listings are based upon the Boone and Crockett Club's copyrighted method of scoring. First adopted in 1950, this is the universally recognized standard for judging North American big game. Hunters, wildlife biologists, state and provincial game managers, federal wildlife officials and anyone with a sincere interest in biological data of big game species will find this book an invaluable reference source.

This book features: Eight new World's Records for typical whitetail deer, typical and non-typical American elk, Pacific walrus, Sitka blacktail, Alaska-Yukon moose, Central Canada barren ground caribou and muskox.

More than 17,000 North American big game trophies in 35 categories, with all the details - an increase of over 4,200 trophies from the last edition.

Over 130 field photographs, plus nearly 100 portrait photographs of the top-ranking trophies for each category.

Informative chapters that every hunter will enjoy and benefit from reading.

All 17 score charts, including the measurements for the current World's Records, and instructions for measuring your own trophies.

Thirty-two pages of wildlife and landscape artwork by current and past Boone and Crockett Club members reproduced in full color.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THE DETAILED CHAPTERS, October 29, 2002
By "susiemount" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
Often times books by the Boone and Crockett Club are just listings of records but that can be boring. I like this book because it has long and detailed chapters with plenty of historical photographs at the front of the book and I love the colored plates of illustrations by Guy Cohleach. This is a heavy book that is well-worth the pricetag. I counted a minimum of 300 photographs!! Great book for anyone who lives wild animals of North America. I bought this book with COLORADO'S BIGGEST BUCKS AND BULLS AND OTHER GREAT COLORADO BIG GAME, SECOND EDITION.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Examples of Man's Insensitivity and Out-of-Control Ego, June 12, 2005
By David Ciaffardini (Oceano, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Look to this book for great examples of North America's most magnificent animals slaughtered for sport and the names of the people who did the slaughtering.

This book is a tremendous record of the insensitivity of man and calousness toward life. Just imagine the scene in the wild, as a hunter and companions come across a deer in the wild: "Wow, that is the most beautiful buck I have ever scene! Look at the rack on it--probably the largest in North America. Simply magnificent! I am going to snuff it's life out right now and claim it as a trophy and a book will brag about my accomplishment!"

The irony inherent throughout this book is staggering. The record of needless slaughter is appalling.

If sport hunting is to continue, wouldn't it make more sense to harvest the weakest and most decrepid animals, rather than promote slaughtering the the most healthy and magnificent creatures of each species?

I am certain that in the fullness of time, nearly every hunter listed in this book and celebrated for his record kills, will regret and be ashamed of the actions recorded here.

But as much as those of us who love animals and respect life may be inclined to hate these misguided hunters whose names are shamelessly recorded in these pages, we should somehow have compassion for them and their misguided ways, the kind of compassion we hope that in this life or another, they might show toward the beautiful animals God has graced us with in this world.
