Official Scorers in Coles County, Illinois

If you harvest a buck in Coles County that looks like it might crack the record books, you need to get it measured by someone who knows the specific requirements for Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young. The timber around the Embarras River produces heavy antler growth every year, and having a certified measurement is the only way to verify those inches for official entry.

There is currently one official scorer available in Charleston to handle these evaluations. John W. Clough provides scoring services for local hunters who need their trophies dried and taped according to standard guidelines. Make sure to follow all drying period rules before scheduling your session.
