Minimum Entries for American Big Game and Fish Records

Below is a list of all game animals, birds and fish that ABGFR measures. If you have an animal of fish that is not listed contact ABGFR for entry instructions. Small Game Animals and Birds that you have taken and do not know the weight for can be entered as a Harvested listing. This allows the Hunter to enter one of each of a subspecies for Grand Slam awards.
