Charlie Chalk with The most popular and collectible book series in the Boone and


Crockett Club library, “Records of North American Big Game” is now available in its 13th edition. It is the most complete records book available from the world’s foremost authority on native North American big game records keeping. I just got my copy, and it is packed with good information.


Since 1932, this historic title has offered a statistical view of wildlife management and conservation in North America. The book includes hundreds of field and portrait photos of top-ranking trophies. A special color section features stunning photography of game species that have flourished over time with improved management and conservation practices. Also included are chapters written by top authorities on current issues such as fair chase in the modern era of hunting, facts on lead ammunition, reforming federal laws to benefit conservation, and emerging science and management strategies for declining populations of mountain caribou.
