Pope & Young introduces the First Edition of "Bowhunting Records of Velvet North American Big Game"

Chatfield, MN – The Pope & Young Club has published the very first Bowhunting Records of Velvet North American Big Game. Published in 2015, this book contains all velvet entered animals prior to January 1, 2015. This new book also includes editorial content on the history of velvet entries in the Records Program, a chapter on preserving velvet, and multiple chapters on hunting these velvet-clad trophies. This full-color book is a guaranteed good read and great resource for all serious bowhunters.

Bowhunting Records of Velvet North American Big Game compiles a separate listing of velvet only trophies that are in the archives of the Pope & Young Club Records Program. Honoring over 2,600 velvet entries, this full-color, 106 page booklet contains editorial content on:

• History of P&Y Records on Velvet entries - By Glenn Hisey
• How to Preserve and Care for Velvet - By Barry Smith
• Hunting Early Season Animals in Velvet - By Kenny Leo
• Hunting Columbian Blacktail Deer in Velvet - By Zack Walton
• Hunting Sitka Blacktails in Velvet - By Bob Ameen
• Bowhunting Mule Deer - By Roy Grace

"Bowhunters have been asking for this book and we listened," said Glenn Hisey, Pope & Young Club Executive Secretary. "Because of early bow seasons, many animals are taken when the antlers are still covered with velvet. This record book lists and recognizes all velvet entries that exceed the minimum score

for that category."

Bowhunting Records of Velvet North American Big Game is available from the Pope & Young Club for $13.00 (plus S&H) and makes a great gift for hunting partners, guides, local libraries and archery shops.
