New Edition NMLRA Big Game Record Book

The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, with headquarters located in Friendship, Indiana, is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the fourth edition of The Longhunter Muzzleloading Big Game Record Book.

The impressive hard-bound, large-format volume contains current and updated records of North American big game trophy animals taken with all types of muzzleloading firearms. Printed on high-quality paper stock with simulated leather binding, The Longhunter Muzzleloading Big Game Record Book Fourth Edition features the stories and photographs behind the top trophy animals taken using black powder firearms. All trophy animals that have qualified for record book entry since the last edition was released in 2001 are also included in this volume.

In addition to updated records, the NMLRA's new record book includes Boone & Crockett scoring standards and forms, Rules of Fair Chase, as well as species-specific information and geographic boundaries utilized for record-keeping purposes. Where appropriate by species and sub-species, sections are devoted to typical and non-typical scored trophy animals.

Big game categories featured in The Longhunter Muzzleloading Big Game Record Book Fourth Edition include grizzly, polar, and black bear, Alaska brown bear, cougar, American elk, Roosevelt's elk, mule deer, Columbia and Sitka Blacktail deer, Whitetail and Coues' deer, Canada, Alaska-Yukon, and Shiras moose, the four subspecies of caribou, pronghorn antelope, Rocky Mountain goat, muskox, four subspecies of bighorn sheep, and bison.

"There's no doubt that serious muzzleloading hunters who pursue big game animals in North America will want to add this volume to their trophy room library," said Jim Fulmer, NMRLA President. "It is a 'must have' for all shooting enthusiasts who appreciate the thrill of the hunt as much as they enjoy blackpowder firearms."
