B&C Asterisked Trophies

You may notice several of the trophies in this edition have an asterisk and no ranking when you look on Big Game Records LIVE. These trophies were invited to the 31st Big Game Awards Judges Panel and did not send their trophies in for score verification.
Here's more information about asterisked trophies and how to remove the asterisk from How to Score North American Big Game. Asterisked trophies are those that were invited to come before an Awards Program Judges Panel at the end of an entry period to have their score verified but did not do so. These trophies will remain unranked with an asterisk until their score is verified. In lieu of score verification by a Judges Panel, trophy scores can be verified by the submission of two additional score charts prepared independently by two more Official Measurers other than the one that prepared the entry score chart. The two additional score charts cannot be prepared until after the Judges Panel to which they were invited convenes. The records office will review the original and two additional score charts and submit their findings and recommendation to the records chair for the final score. Shrinkage allowances will be used to determine the final score. Once the records office determines the correct final score for an asterisked trophy, the asterisk will be removed, and the trophy will take its rightful place in the record book. Those asterisked trophies that do not have their score verified as mentioned above, will remain asterisked and unranked at the bottom of their category until such time that their final scores are verified or they are dropped from the records. If the scores are not verified, asterisked trophies will appear in one Awards book and one All-time record book, and then they will be dropped from all future record books. Their files can be reactivated anytime thereafter with the submission of two additional score charts to remove the asterisk. 
 

The Importance of Records in Big Game Management

When you enter your trophy into the Boone and Crockett system, you aren’t just honoring the animal and its habitat. You are participating in a data collection system that started in the 1920s and was refined by Club members in 1950. Today, there are nearly 60,000 trophy records. By establishing a records database more than 70 years ago, the Boone and Crockett Club established a scientific baseline from which researchers can use to study wildlife management. If you’re still  on the fence about entering your trophy, we encourage you to read Why Should I Bother to Enter My Trophy. To the best of our ability, we ensure that the trophies entered into the records were taken in accordance with the tenets of fair chase ethics. Despite what some may think, the Boone and Crockett records are not about a name or a score in a book—because in the end, there’s so much more to the score.
