Alaska Black Bear hunting is conducted under these strict rules.
Pope & Young, is another interesting record keeper for hunters as well. They're dedicated to the preservation of the bow hunting heritage and North America's Wildlife. Scores for harvested animals are entered not to honor the hunter, but to honor the animal. You can find Pope & Young Club measurers in just about any State or Province by searching on the Net.
