For the first time, anyone can now access P&Y records data on North American big game species with the Club’s new Big Game Records Search. Visitors to the site can choose from two levels: one is the free, basic search, which gives you access to the listings by species and hunters name; the second level is available by subscription, and it offers specific details about the animal’s score, state and county harvest location. The full subscription is available to anyone for an introductory fee of $35 per year. All proceeds go to the Club’s Conservation, Education and Outreach fund, which was established to promote the conservation of habitat and wildlife in North America and to protect bowhunting’s heritage.

“I am very excited about the new Pope and Young Club Big Game Records Search,” said P&Y Records Chair Ed Fanchin. “Users will be able to search the entire Records Program database of over 115,000 record book entries and millions of data points. It will be a valuable research and scouting tool available at your fingertips. The possibilities are endless.”

The Trophy Database is located on the top left side of the Pope and Young Club website (www.pope-young.org) homepage. Click on the “Online Trophy Database” link and then choose either the basic search (example below), or sign up for the full subscription. The full subscription gives you access to over 3 million data points of detailed information pertaining to North American big game animals harvested with bow and arrow.
