Official Scorers in Belmont County, Ohio

Belmont County produces heavy-racked whitetails every year, especially around the timber and reclaimed ground near Barnesville and Bridgeport. If you harvest a buck that looks like it might hit the record books, you need a certified measurer to put a tape on it. These officials handle the scoring for organizations like the Buckeye Big Buck Club and Boone and Crockett.

There are currently two scorers available in the county to verify your trophy. You can find Devin Stephen working out of Barnesville or get in touch with Tom DeVaul in Bridgeport to schedule an official measurement. Make sure you follow the mandatory drying period before bringing your antlers in for a final score.
