Scoring elk antlers?

[Westtrailed]

I searched the Boone & Crockett website last night to look into how to get a bull officially scored, I didn’t see anything about scoring an animal locally. Is this still possible these days? Does anyone have experience with this? Pardon my ignorance I’ve never been down this path.

There are official scorers all over the place. You can find them here:

Yes there are local official scorers in many states. Here is the link for the map that shows registered scorers or call Boone and Crockett club in Missoula, MT and tell them what state you are in and they will give you the contact for a local scorer. https://www.boone-crockett.org/official-measurer-locator

I think if you gotta ask, then you are obligated to post some pictures!

Do you have an elk to score? An official B&C net Elk is a huge animal. Have you attempted to score it yourself first to see a rough estimate?

If so post up some pictures !

Just remember when you get it scored... nets are for fishing

Okay, I think I misunderstood the whole scoring process. I thought you could get any rack officially scored. I don’t have a record rack, it’s big for me but probably not a record breaker by no means. I was just wanting a properly measured score for myself.

Just go down load the scoring sheet from p&y or b&c and get you'll see where and how to take the measurements

I believe the scorers are volunteers. The costs are associated with entering a record animal into the book. A scorer local to you might still be willing to score a non-book animal, just have to call and ask. Maybe show up with a 12 pack!

You can always score him yourself, too. I think I can get a pretty good score in 30 to 45 minutes.

Download the score sheet and instructions. Pretty straight forward to do on your own if you're just looking for a ball park number.

I’m confused, why haven’t we seen any pictures yet?

You can get any rack officially scored, but it will only be entered into the "Book" if it meets the award level or all time minimum score.

As mentioned the Official Scorers are volunteers and cannot charge for doing it. So make it worth their time, have a conversation with them. Some like to mentor people even though the rack may not make Book. Won't know till you talk to them.

F###k, just put a picture on here


We'll score it surprisingly accurately for you.

Haha! Thank you for clearing this up for me guys. I have scored it myself. It’s a low 300 class. Just wanted a second opinion really. In the end it’s not a big deal to me. Mostly just curious. I’ll have to find a local B&C volunteer scorer.

Good for you OP, a low 300's bull is better than most people will take in their lifetime, they just won't admit it.

 

[bohntr]

If you’re ever in the white mountains of AZ, I’ll officially measure it for you.

 

[Geewhiz]

@Westtrailed we still want to see a pic.

True fact.
