Updated Distribution Map of Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young bucks available from QDMA.

Bogart, Georgia – The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) has recently updated one of its most popular educational posters with new data. The poster features a map showing the county-by-county distribution of Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young record-book bucks killed during the 10-year period from 1996 to 2005. The previous version of the map included data on record-book bucks taken from 1991 to 2000.

The distribution map combines all of the bucks that were officially entered and qualified for the Boone & Crockett Club’s Awards program or higher and the Pope & Young Club’s Bowhunting Big-Game Records of North America. The poster includes names of counties with one or more bucks in either records program.

Also included are smaller maps showing the separate distribution of Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young bucks. Plus, tables display record-book entry numbers by state for each club, as well as the top counties in the nation in each club’s records, with statistics on typical and non-typical records.

The distribution map was produced by QDMA member Dr. Joel Helmer, professor of geography at Concordia University in Nebraska, using records information provided by the Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young Clubs.

The 28 x 40-inch posters are great for your hunt camp, cabin, home or office and make a great educational display. They are available for $9.95 plus shipping/handling. Visit www.QDMA.com to order or call (800) 209-3337.
