Welcome to the official web site for the BBBC. Ohio's unique and original Buckeye Big Buck Club was created in 1957 to bring quality trophies to public attention. Merrill C. Gilfillan, who was an Ohio Department of Natural Resources writer and former Division of Wildlife biologist, founded the club. The formal organization was completed after the club's first awards dinner was held in Columbus
in February 1958.

The purpose of this non-profit organization is to increase the appreciation of Ohio's white-tailed deer herd, which due to a comprehensive and successful management program of the Division of Wildlife, and improved habitat, is now at a record high level. The clubs goals are to: encourage trophy hunting by Ohio hunters, establish and maintain a permanent record of Ohio's trophy deer taken in fair chase, foster wise management of this valuable resource, and promote a positive relationship among hunter and landowners.
Each year the club honors hunters who harvest "typical" deer which meet the minimum 140 inch scoring requirement and "non-typical" deer meeting a minimum 160 inch score requirement. Scores are determined by a series of measurements using the Boone and Crockett scoring system.

ATTENTION
Deer hunters wanting their 2007-2008 season deer scored in time for the 50th banquet and awards ceremony need to get their racks from their taxidermist and get them to a scorer before Saturday July 5th. Please have your racks scored as soon as your 60 day dry period is up. The cut off date for scorers to have all the paper work turned in is Monday July 7th. This will give us just enough time to process the paper work and send out the invitations to the 50th.
The invitations will go out around the middle to end of July.
