The Big Game Scoring Day at the Southeast Regional Idaho Fish and Game office will be Thursday, March 13.
Measuring for Boone & Crockett for rifle and pistol, Pope & Young for archery and Longhunter's Society for muzzleloaders will be conducted for entry into the big game record books.
Interested hunters must bring their antlers, horns or skulls to the regional office at 1345 Barton Road by 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 12. Items being brought for measuring must be free of flesh and skin, and must have been air-dried - which is not the same as freezer storage - for 60 days.
"It is so exciting to see such great Idaho trophies come through the office doors for scoring. Each year brings its own surprises," said Jennifer Jackson, regional conservation educator for Fish and Game. "The service is free, so even if you are not sure your item is a record worthy trophy, bring it by anyway. We will be happy to rough score it."
Information required at the time of dropoff includes:
- Hunter name.
- Date of harvest.
- Location of harvest, including big game unit, county, and state.
- Owner name, address, and telephone number.
- Guide's name and address, if applicable.
All items must be picked up by 5 p.m. Friday, March 14. For more information, please contact the Fish and Game Southeast Regional office at 208-232-4703.
