The stories behind the biggest Alaskan-Yukon moose in the Boone and Crockett Records 

A mature Alaskan-Yukon bull moose can stand more than six feet tall at the shoulder. Its antlers alone can easily weigh more than 60 pounds.

On August 16, 2007, driven by the concerns of the sportsmen and conservation communities, President George W. Bush signed an Executive Order that called for federal agencies to facilitate the expansion and enhancement of hunting opportunities and the management of game species and their habitat.

Explorer, legislator, public servant, duck lover, and businessman, Frederic C. Walcott was an early member of the Boone and Crockett Club who served as Club president. His conservation achievements still resonate today, especially when it comes to waterfowl and wildlife refuges. 

Hunters can have their trophies scored by Boone and Crockett Club Official Measurers during special August events at Cabela's retail stores around the country.

Official scoring will be offered Aug. 23-24 at all 28 Cabela’s locations:

Home to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands, South Dakota is also a great state in which to hunt bison, whitetail and mule deer, elk, and even pronghorn. Bison entries abound from Custer County in the southwest. The state’s largest bighorn killed in 2018 sits solidly in the top five of all time. Deer entries aren’t as common as they were decades ago, but elk are starting to make the book there.…

When you hear Nebraska, what do you think? If you think cornfield whitetails, then you’d only be partially right. Yes, there are some seriously large whitetail deer from Nebraska in the records, but there are a number of other impressive big game records as well. Take the typical mule deer taken in 2007, which scored more than 200 points. Then there’s the bighorn ram killed there in 2017.…

Michigan is an angler’s paradise. With more freshwater shoreline than any other state, Michigan offers up some of the best fishing for walleye, bass, pike, and muskie. If you like to hunt, then put down the fishing pole and pick up your rifle or bow for big bears and whitetail deer. In the Upper Peninsula, Menominee County has a ridiculous number of black bear record entries. If whitetails are…

While they may be called Canada moose, quite a number of them call the great state of Maine home. Drawing a tag for Canada moose isn’t exactly easy, but neither is hauling out a mature bull. The other name of the game for the Pine Tree State is whitetail deer. The 1980s and ‘90s were good to Maine deer, but record-book entries have dropped off since the new millennium. The good news is that…

"This partnership provides millions of hunters with easy access to a certified Measurer. It's a new convenience spawned by demand—we're seeing all-time high interest in our records program, which speaks to the success of modern conservation," said Keith Balfourd of the Boone and Crockett Club.
