Default 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.

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.

Well, I was wrong. Don't see any special MZ class in the Boone and Crocket website.
