Can you enter multiple species in one Pope & Young application?

April 5, 2026

Quick Answer

Yes, you can enter multiple species in one Pope & Young application, but each species must be killed during a single archery season and meet the organization's minimum entry requirements.

Multiple Species Entry Requirements

The Pope & Young Club allows hunters to submit multiple species in a single application, provided that the animals were taken during the same archery season. This can be particularly useful for hunters who harvest multiple species while on a single trip or in a specific region. For example, a hunter who takes a whitetail deer and a mule deer in the same season can submit both species on a single application.

Minimum Entry Requirements

To qualify for entry in the Pope & Young record book, each species must meet the organization’s minimum entry requirements. This typically includes a minimum score, such as the Boone and Crockett minimum for whitetail deer (80 inches) or mule deer (145 inches), and must be accompanied by a full-color photo, measurements, and a detailed description of the hunt. Hunters should review the Pope & Young Club’s current minimum entry requirements before submitting their application.

Application Submission Process

Hunters who wish to submit multiple species in a single application should follow the Pope & Young Club’s submission guidelines carefully. This includes ensuring that all required documentation, including photos, measurements, and descriptions, is included with the application. The submission process typically involves completing an online application, paying the required entry fee, and providing the necessary documentation. Hunters should be prepared to provide detailed documentation to support their entry, including photographs and measurements taken by a certified measurer.
