Blackpowder Record Books
Is there a record book for big game taken with black powder? I have searched extensively on the internet, but with no results. Thanks for the help.

He's not a monster, but I think he may be close to 130". I also took an antelope that will be close to the minimum (63")this year in WY. I'm not a big record book guy, but I've been curious to know if there was a separate record book for animals taken with a muzzleloader and what the minimum score of each specie would be. Here's this years muzz deer.

RE: Blackpowder Record Books
It is my understanding there is a separate classification for muzzleloading. I seem to recall it was in the Boone and Crocket scoring classes, but I could be wrong. The minimum for elk in the MZ section is supposed to be 255 inches - have heard this from several folks. Maybewe could go to Boone and Crocket's website and get the first hand information.
Either way, that is a really handsome whitetail buck - would make a great mount. :) |
RE: Blackpowder Record Books
Well, I was wrong. Don't see any special MZ class in the Boone and Crocket website.

The "Longhunter's Record Book" of course was established by traditional minded "longhunters" enthusiasts using traditional equipment because again, when the record book was established modern inline muzzleloaders were not part of the muzzleloading world.. I do agree with Roundball on one point. I do not feel that modern inline rifles should be included in the same record as a traditional rifle. I see no problem with having a seperate catagory for the modern inline rifle. Also the addition of a scope should put that into again a different catagory. I do not mean to take anything away from the accomplishments of anyone, only that there is a true difference in the manner in which the a record animal is taken when you talk traditional rifle, scoped in line, or unscoped inline. Other then that I do not think anything as far as the record is tainted if a seperation was made. |
