Hey Guys, I am new to the forum. Getting ready to retire after 20 years of service with the Coast Guard, including 4 years at Station Niagara where I got to know Big Ern.
So...as a retirement gig, I have partnered with Outdoors magazine here VT to found the VT Big Game Trophy Club. Sort of like a mini B&C. for the state. We don't have a lot of high scoring whitetails, but they are trophies to us over here. and there has been no record keeping organization since the state dropped theirs 5 years ago due to budget cuts.
We have categories for Deer Bear Moose and Turkey with B&C minimums, as well in the old New England tradition of using weight as the guage of a trophy. We have established the 200lb club for deer, 20 lb club for turkey, 800 for moose and 250 for bear. If someone gets any three of the four species in a year...Triple Crown, all four would get the Grand Slam. We are giving each lucky hunter a patch, certificate and decal for their entry.. Quaker Boy is also involved with us and has pledged their support.
We are pretty excited about it amd I wanted to let everyone know about it. Let me know what you think.
