Programs: The records & publications programs keeps the records of native north american big game for the purpose of providing a vital conservation record of excellence in specimen quality and linking it with both excellence in habitat management and wildlife management practices that produce such specimens and excellence in hunting skills demonstrated by the taking of such specimen in a manner that fully complies with the club's fair chase code. The club also organizes recognition programs to honor specimen quality, hunter skills, sportsmanship, and management practices that produce quality wildlife populations.
