Official Scorers in Union County, Illinois

If you harvest a heavy-racked buck in the Shawnee National Forest or off the private ridges in Union County, you need to get it measured properly. Southern Illinois is known for producing mature whitetails with significant mass, and having a certified professional handle the rack ensures the data is accurate for record books.

There is currently one official scorer available in Dongola to help local hunters with their trophies. LaRue D. Parr provides scoring services for those who need an official entry. It is best to reach out directly to confirm their availability and any required drying periods before bringing your mount in for measurement.
