In 1950 a trophy scoring system was adopted by the Boone and Crockett organization as a standard for measuring and recording native North American big game. The system involves taking several horn measurements, adding and subtracting these measurements and ending up with a final score. To be considered for this organization's award book, a minimum score of 360 is required. A score of 375 is required to make the all-time record book.
Hunters use measurements from a moose’s antlers to determine if the trophy qualifies for recognition by one of the hunting trophy organizations. The Boone and Crocket Club is the most common organization for gun hunters while the Pope and Young Club is more applicable for archery hunters. Both use similar measurement methods.
Your elk hunting trip was a success and you know your bull is a bruiser, but does he qualify for the record books? The Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young clubs both require a 60-day drying period before a trophy can be officially scored, but you can still make the measurements yourself to decide if your elk has a chance at making the book. Boone and Crockett requires a minimum score of 360 for its awards program and 375 for the all-time record book. Pope and Young requires a minimum score of 260.
