2005 Annual Big Game Survey

Below you will find this year’s annual ABA big game survey and questionnaire. This survey serves several purposes. First, it provides the information we need for big game Certificates of Achievement and Curt Lynn Arrowhead Awards that are presented at your banquet. Certificates of Achievement will be awarded free of charge to everyone who completes the survey. If you wish to receive an Arrowhead, you must fill out a survey and submit it by January 28th, 2008.

Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey and send it in, whether you hunted or not. Your information and comments are all valuable to the ABA. Information from this survey is used to prepare supporting documentation for proposals to determine if hunting regulations need to be changed.

The ABA has been using this information for many years. It has been very useful when presenting information or defending proposals before local Fish and Game advisory committees, and the Board of Game. Another part of this survey is designed to give the ABA board of directors some guidance on current issues and to let them know if you want them to do anything different in the future. If you took a big game animal with a bow and arrow in Alaska in 2007, you are eligible for these awards, your animal must be officially scored. This can be done by either of two methods:

Submit a copy of an official score sheet or a copy of the trophy certificate from Pope and Young. All scoring must be done using Pope and Young standards. Only score sheets signed by an official scorer from Pope and Young or Boone and Crockett will be accepted.

Again, we need the surveys no later than January 28, 2008

You must be present at the banquet to receive your arrowhead award!
If you are not present, we will mail you a certificate.
