We will be hosting trophy measuring day in our tradition format December 21st, 2024, from 11AM to 3PM at the Burbank Hall which Is located at the confluence of the Blindman and Red Deer Rivers. Animals presented during these hours will be scored on a first come first served basis. Snacks and some beverages will be served.

All entries should include a field photo of the entrant and game harvested. Digital format is accepted or a print (4” by 6”) is also accepted. Digital format can be submitted via Facebook message, or emailed to [email protected].

For those members who are unable to be present that day we will be measuring by appointment from now until Dec 30,2024 at the Powell Residence. People wishing to be present while the scoring is done should be in good health. There is no charge for the service.

What needs to be done to get an animal scored by appointment is listed below.
