Youth Big Game Club Requirements

The Big Game Club Committee began the Youth Big Game Club program in March of 1991. The CBH/SAA Youth Big Game Club’s purpose is to involve the next generation of bowhunters, insuring the lasting sport by generating more members in the club and hopefully sparking a more family oriented sport for all to enjoy.

The Youth Big Game Club shall be open to all CBH members under the age of seventeen (17) years. To qualify for the club the applicant must legally take at least one of the species recognized by the Big Game Club. The animal does not have to meet the minimum score requirements for the record book. If, however, the animal does meet the minimum score required, it will count toward the applicant’s regular membership. Regular membership is four species, of which at least two, must qualify with minimum scores for the record book.

The applicant shall retain Youth Big Game Club membership as long as he/she is a CBH/SAA member of good standing, until his/her seventeenth (17) birthday or until the applicant qualifies for regular membership in the Big Game Club.

The applicant will be required to fill out a Youth Big Game Application for each species, along with a kill report and a fair chase affidavit. They also need to provide a photograph of the animal and a $5.00 recording fee. (If the animal qualifies for inclusion in the record book, $10.00 must accompany the application). There shall be neither a yearly fee nor an initiation fee for the Youth Big Game Club.

The Youth Big Game Club shall include, but not be limited to these recommendations.
