Big Game Awards

Each year, the club awards a trophy for the largest Pope & Young scored typical buck, non-typical buck and largest Doe (by weight). Also an award will be given to all members who shoot their first deer with a bow and arrow.

Rules for Big Game Awards

  1. There will be 1 trophy each for the largest typical buck, non-typical buck and doe.
  2. Hunting awards may be granted to any member in good standing as of Sept. 1st of the year for which the award is being claimed. Applications for new memberships after that date must be approved and signed by 1 of the club’s officers or 2 members in good standing, thus verifying that the applicant has his current unused deer tag and is eligible for any hunting awards.
  3. The game must be legally taken with bow and arrow, and in the case of deer, such awards shall apply only to the First Personal Kill in any one state hunting by the archer applying for the award. Also his or her tag must have been affixed immediately after the kill. When deer are taken in a state where more than one tag has been legally issued to the archer for the taking of more than one deer, the member may apply all deer, providing that the second tag was affixed to the second personal kill etc.
  4. Definitions: Personal Kill - First good or killing hit is considered a personal kill regardless of other hits.

First Kill - First kill in any state whether tagged by the member or given to another

person to tag. This deer must be counted as the first kill in that state.

  1. The club will award a wooden plaque (1 only) in the shape of Minnesota or Wisconsin (archers residence) to each successful bow hunter. Thereafter the club will award metal tags every year for each qualifying animal, and that tag shall be attached to the plaque by that member as his personal record. To apply for the above plaque and or tags, the archer must complete the Big Game Awards Form and then return it to the Big Game Awards Chairman.
  2. Any deer to be entered in the Big Buck or Big Doe competition must be checked in at one of the clubs weigh-in stations, where it is weight will be recorded and the hunter’s license and deer tag #’s will be checked.
  3. A member can win both the Big Buck and Big Doe trophies if both animals meet the requirements set forth in paragraph 3.
  4. Awards will be given for any other big game species recognized by the Pope and Young club, whenever it is determined that more than one such animal has been taken by members that year.
  5. All antlered animals and bear will be scored by P & Y rules for club awards. All measurements will be taken after a 60 day drying period or on the week before the Winona Archers annual Banquet.
  6. All exceptions to the above rules are subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors only.
  7. All awards applications shall be turned in by January 15th.
