INSTRUCTIONS

All measurements must be made with a ¼” flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. Wherever is necessary to change direction of

measurement, mark a control point, and swing tape at this point. To simplify addition, please enter fractional figures in eighths. Official

measurements cannot be taken for at least sixty days after the animal was killed. Flexible steel cables may be used for measuring main beams.

Supplementary Date measurements indicate conformation of the trophy and none of the figures in line A, B and C are to be included in the

score. Evaluation of conformation is a matter of personal preference.

A. Number of Points on each Antler: To be counted a point, the projection must be at least one inch long, with the length exceeding

width at one inch or more of length. All points are measured from tip of point to nearest edge of beam as illustrated. Beam tip is

counted as point but not measured as a point.

B. Tip to Tip Spread measured between tips of Main Beams.

C. Greatest Spread measured between perpendiculars at right angles to the center line of the skull at widest part whether across main

beams or points.

D. Inside Spread of Main Beams measured at right angles to the center line of the skull at widest point between main beams. Enter this

measurement again in “Spread Credit” column if it is less than or equal to the length of longer main beam.

Total of Lengths of all Abnormal Points. Abnormal points are generally considered to be those non-typical in shape or location.

Sketch all normal points on antler illustration (front of form) showing location and approximate size.

Length of Main Beam measured from lowest outside edge of burr over outer curve to the most distant point of what is or appears to

be, the main beam. The point of beginning is the point on the burr where the center line along the outer curve of the beam intersects

the burr.

G. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Length of Normal Points. Normal points project from main beam. They are measured from nearest edge of main

beam over outer curve to tip. To determine nearest edge (top edge) of beam lay the tape along the outer curve of the beam so that the

top edge of the tape coincides with the top edge of the beam on both sides of the point. Draw a line along top edge of tape. This line

will be base line from which point is measured.

H. 1-2-3-4. Circumferences if first point is missing, take H-1 and H-2 at smallest place between burr and second point.

Drying Period: To be eligible for entry in the Alberta Records a trophy must first have been stored under normal room temperature and

humidity for at least 60 consecutive days after date of kill. No trophy will be considered which has in any way been altered from its natural

state.
