Elk / Wapiti trophy records.
A practical species reference for hunters recording a elk / wapiti trophy: what to keep with the record, which scoring systems may apply and how to turn the finished story into a wall print.
About the elk / wapiti
Elk are found in mountain valleys, forests and open meadows across western and northern North America.
The strongest records preserve more than a number. Keep the species, sex, date, country or region, photograph, scoring system and the story of the hunt together so the record remains meaningful years later.
Scoring systems used for this species
| Recorded systems | Boone and Crockett, SCI |
|---|---|
| Measurement focus | Beam and tine lengths, circumferences and inside spread, assessed in the correct elk category. |
| Important note | The Wild Register records the score supplied by the hunter. It does not measure, certify or rank trophies. |
Keep this trophy permanently.
Register the details privately first, then choose whether to make the record public. When you are ready, the same record can become a personalised hunting trophy poster with the location and photograph treated as part of the design.
