CBA Big Game Awards Program
To enter an animal for awards consideration, it will need to be scored by a Pope and Young or Boone and Crocket measurer (not SCI, or any other method), however not necessarily registered with either of those organizations. I will need copies of the following: The complete official score sheet signed by the hunter and measurer (front and back), I will also need the complete Fair Chase Affidavit (front and back), OR a copy of the P&Y Awards certificate if applicable.
Trophies do not have to meet P & Y minimums to receive an award, but they do need to be officially scored (see above), and all the above paperwork sent to me via email to:
or hard copies by mail to:
Dave Stone (CBA Big Game Chairman) 2224 Stuart Street Longmont, Co. 80501
Only animals taken in the current year are eligible for awards - with the exception of cougars that haven’t yet been scored due to the required drying period. These exceptions are normally entered the following year.
Generally, only the current year’s trophies are displayed at the banquet. Exceptions are usually made for trophies that have not been previously displayed, (usually due to taxidermy not being completed) or other reasons (a special display, etc.) agreed upon by the Trophy display committee, including the Big Game Chairman.
Only CBA members’ trophies are accepted for awards and display at the banquet. Unlike P & Y, we don’t charge a separate fee for recognition. The awards and display is to recognize our members, not the public.
If there is a tie for one of the top 2 places, we only give 3 awards. Thus, a tie for first would result in two first place awards and one third place award. A tie for second place would result in one first place and two second place awards. Obviously, a tie for third would result in four awards – one for first, one for second, and two for third.
Anyway, enjoy the banquet. They were always good times!
Pretty sure I had registered several months back. Re-registered. May have done it twice...
Did check with the hotel and had a reservation there so that was good:-)
You may pm me if you would like me to verify your registration if you used the online Pay Pal process.
If you paid via Pay Pal, you should verify that the payment was processed. If it is still pending, I recommend cancelling that payment and re registering. The Web Designer has updated the registration application to hopefully correct this issue. I have not heard or seen any issues using a credit card. Of course sending a check will work too.
Again, pm me with any questions or concerns and I will try to help. Dave Stone
