The other thread got me thinking, I wonder how many of you have a Boone and Crocket qualifying animal taken with a bow? This site has some real killers and highly successful hunters....love to see some pics if you have a bow killed Boone and Crocket animal you've taken. I can't start this one off unfortunately lol so hopefully someone else will.

I have several p&y and that is generally my goal on any hunt, so it would be very difficult for me to pass a p&y holding out for a b&c. I have a goat coming from last sept that I think will be the closest I’ve ever gotten. I’ll be interested to find out what he will actually measure, I think it will be close.
But the short answer is “no, not me”.

References to ranking was at time taken, although most still apply and the larger mule deer is the pending velvet state record.
References to ranking was at time taken, although most still apply and the larger mule deer is the pending velvet state record.
I've been very fortunate to take 6 animals with a bow that have been officially measured as large enough to meet the minimum net scores for B&C (awards or all-time), all public land and DIY other than occasional scouting help. However, two are in velvet and currently not eligible for B&C, but I've included them in the photo collage because they meet the B&C minimum.

So many incredible and amazing critters! So amazing to see any bow killed B&C eligible animal!
I have this guy that made it.
Also have a Mountain Caribou in velvet that would make it if stripped and a mountain lion that just hit the minimum. A few additional critters that meet minimum but never entered in any books over the years for various reasons.
The Glenn St, Charles award blew me away.

My first ever B&C qualifier taken September 10th...not officially measured yet of course. Green score is more than an inch above all time...but he will undoubtedly shrink some. So potentially all time, but awards is a given. Either way, very happy bowhunter!

From: Shug

Yea ya said that Dale …
But what you fail to realize is a number doesn’t make an animal P and Y or B and C … What does is taking the step to honor the animal and help support both organizations that work tirelessly for conservation … And for me that’s reason enough
From: Buffalo1

Totally agree with Shug.
I have a black bear that is B&C. Had animal measured and entered into record book 25 yrs after taking it.
From: Bou'bound

If the animal is the focus the hunters name needs to go.
Also no need to take an animal to help the club. If you send them a check today they will be thankful and will cash it without request that you send in other forms or photos.

From: Dale06
31-Jul-24
Shug, Ive asked several guys that “honor the animal” by entering it in the book, why is the hunters name in the book, instead of the animal species, where and when taken and the score. I’ve never received a good answer. Again, I’m not against P&Y or B&C, I just don’t enter animals that I’ve killed.

Dang! Some impressive animals on this thread! I think Cazador has a huge bighorn that made it ?
Crazy how an elk is missing from the thread so far (I think, unless I missed it). B&C score on them is really high and with a bow is tough to do. I'm guessing it's because the wild places that actually have them are extremely hard to draw?
Thoughts?

I never craved sheer numbers in the "books." Instead, my goal, (long since achieved,) was to have one entry noted in EACH book! B&C, P&Y, Longhunter, SCI and Rowland Ward.
Big stuff killed after that went "unentered" and not officially measured. Just think what I have saved in "entry fees?!!"

Nice animals guys. After seeing what the B&C certificate looks like maybe I’ll enter some animals. All rifle kills though. I’ve never killed any that high scoring with a bow.
Old yes. High scoring no.

0 for me. An Elk and a Whitetail right on the edge. I shot a really old Whitetail once late season. He had shed his rack and scored 0. I hunted him all year and he had outwitted me. I guess that makes me a deer hunter not a rack hunter LOL

Great bunch of animals on this thread. Congrats to all. I like to see the pics with the hunter in them as it puts faces with the handles. I see that M.Pauls used a Revolt to get that monster. It brings to mind a thread of his that stated that "you can tell much about a person by which bow they shoot". Probably the most clever thread that I have seen on here.
