Yes, harvesting a trophy-sized deer is cool. But harvesting a trophy-sized deer AND getting it published into the 2026-2027 Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Hunting and Trapping Guide? Even cooler.
Submit your score to us today for a chance to be featured in the upcoming fall hunting guide! Swipe to the second photo to see submission requirements. (Submissions close May 29)
How to submit scores:
• Mail or email a copy of both the front and back of your eligible buck’s completed and signed official score sheet. Include both the county in which the deer was taken and the method you used to harvest the deer. All score sheets must be legible and verifiable. You may also send a photo.
• Email documents to info.center@ky.gov, or mail to Kentucky Hunting & Trapping Guide, #1 Sportsman’s Lane, Frankfort, KY 40601.
To get scored by an eligible scorer, visit Boone and Crockett Club’s online page at https://boone-crockett.org/official-measurer-locator to find a measurer and contact information.

No matter which system is used, the harvested white-tailed buck must receive an official net score of at least 160 for typical racks and 185 for non-typical.'
