The Bear Almanac by Gary Brown - The Boone and Crockett Club.

The club, started by Theodore Rossevelt in 1887 as a "Big Game" conservation organization, ascribes to strong ethical hunting, such as fair chase and sportsmanship, and several North American states and provinces have adopted many of its standards. Roosevelt aptly named the club after frontiersmen Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, who represent the hunting standards prescribed.

In 1950 the club adopted a scoring system that provides "objective" measurements and scores of big-game animals, thus "Big Game Records" of North America. The club manages an official scoring meant to record skull size.

Recorded skulls normally originate from a fair-chase hunt, though a few discovered and "picked up." The recorded score is the total ( in inches ) of the skull length and width. Records are maintained by species of bear. Reply
