The Boone and Crockett Club's recent 29th Big Game Awards established several new benchmarks that event organizers say are a reflection of today's hunters' commitment to wildlife and habitat conservation, fair chase and the future of these traditions.
What good is a score? Is it bragging rights? A path to backslaps, free hunts, and a book deal? The answer is none of the above.
Planning and preparation for the 32nd Big Game Awards is the main focus for the records team.

The Boone and Crockett Club’s Records of North American Big Game Committee is firing on all cylinders. Our big news during the past year was the overwhelmingly successful 32nd triennial Awards Program. We welcomed over 500 attendees to the event and $125,870 was generated to support the Club. Total visitor traffic through our trophy exhibit exceeded 118,000 guests.
A long-time Lifetime Associate and benefactor to conservation has provided the Boone and Crockett Club the opportunity to waive entry processing fees into the organization’s Records program. Thanks to the generous donation, the Boone and Crockett Club announced today that the usual $40 entry fee will not be charged this year for entries received after January 1, 2026.
