The records department of the Boone and Crockett Club recently convened a Special Judges Panel to verify the entry score of a Roosevelt’s elk received earlier this year.
Two separate teams of judges remeasured the entry and adjusted the score from 439 7/8 points to 455 2/8 points.
“The main objective of any panel, whether it be a Special Judges Panel or Awards Judges Panel, is to confirm the accepted entry score,” said Kyle Lehr, the Club’s director of big game records. “Sometimes differences in measurements are discovered through this process, and corrections need to be made. In the case of Mr. Carpenter's Roosevelt's elk, those differences resulted in an increase in score.”
