It's a piece of hunting history; a catalog of conservation successes. The newly published Boone and Crockett Club’s 27th Big Game Awards, 2007-2009 is part of a book series that spans over half a century. With the limited release of hardcover editions already sold out, the Club has made the follow-up paperback edition available for purchase.

The 704-page paperback contains listings for over 4,900 trophies in 32 categories of North American big game taken between 2007 and 2009. Listings include B&C gross score, final score, location and date of kill, hunter and owner, overall rank and more.

The book also includes over 60 color and hundreds of B&W field photos and portraits.

"What really sets this publication apart are the written accounts of the hunts for some of the top trophies taken in the 27th Awards period. Readers will learn not just statistics, but the actual stories behind some of the greatest game animals ever taken," said Julie Houk, director of publications for Boone and Crockett Club.

Boone and Crockett Club’s 27th Big Game Awards, 2007-2009, retails for $29.95 (Boone and Crockett members receive a discount) and is available in stores or directly from the Club. Order at www.boone-crockett.org or by calling 888-840-4868.
