California
State Big Game Records
In
2002 the California Deer Assocation (CDA) compiled and published
the first definitive book on record game animals taken in the
state of California. By no means comprehensive, it served as a
starting point for collecting records on native wildlife for the
State of California and as an incentive for sportsmen throughout
the state to submit their trophies for scoring and consideration.
The records being maintained by the CDA, and posted
here on www.caldeer.org, were the most current and up to date
as of the year 2002. We are asking sportsmen throughout the state
to come here and submit information to the CDA about other possible
record holders and contenders so we can collect and present the
most current and comprehensive list of state records that truly
represent the most magnificent specimens of California's native
wildlife.
You
can help us update and improve our records by submitting your
records to the California Deer Association, or notifying us of
any potential contenders (even those long-forgotten ones collecting
dust in someone's shed). Below you'll find a checklist of everything
you'll need for submitting an official entry. You can either mail
your entry to the address provided below, or send it by fax.
