1329.0. "Judging Trophy Animals" by 31318::MURPHYRO (End Loser Sales Rep) Fri Dec 10 1993 16:40

    Several months back I read an article that referenced a book dedicated 
    to "how to judge trophy animals in the field" It covered all the big 
    game animals of N.America, told you what to look for prior to taking
    the animal. Does anyone know the name of such book?

Keith,

I am not aware of a book dedicated solely to judging trophy animals
in the field, but there is one that dedicates a chapter to this.
It is _Complete_Book_of_Hunting_ by Clyde Ormond.  It was first
published in 1962.

No doubt it's been out of print for some time now, but I occassionally
run across copies.  A used book store should be able to help you
find it.

You might also wish to check note 682 in this very conference.  I
have posted field judging guidelines from this book for several
big game species.
