Ask Fish and Game: Measuring Big Game

Q. It's been about 90 days since I shot my big elk and now that the drying period is up, how do I get it measured by Pope and Young or Boone and Crockett? A. Any big game animal taken by archery would be measured by Pope and Young; animals taken by rifle or muzzleloader would be measured by the Boone and Crockett Club. Contact a representative from these clubs, or contact Fish and Game to find out who the contacts are. The Southeast Region has a scoring day set for March 13 in Pocatello. Call Fish and Game at 208-232-4703 for more information.
