Animal Collage
Name: __________________________ Partner’s Name: ________________________
You and a partner will make a two-sided collage. One side will be about a companion
animal (pet), and the other side will be about a livestock (farm) animal. The collage
should be eye-appealing as well as informational. You will have to make a short
presentation to your class on your collage. Each side of the collage must include the
following information:
Care & Management
Cost(s)
Common Diseases
Advantages & Disadvantages of owning or raising this type of animal
Circle the group of animal(s) you and your partner picked in each column.
COMPANION ANIMAL
LIVESTOCK ANIMAL
Dogs
Cats
Rodents & Small Mammals
Birds
Fish
Reptiles & Amphibians
Cattle
Sheep
Swine
Goats
Poultry
Horses
Common Mistakes:

Remember the assignment is about pet or farm animals, NOT wild animals. For
example, if your group picks birds, I don’t want to see you reporting on the bald
eagle.
Don’t waste paper; copy and paste a several pictures onto a blank page in Word,
and then print it out and cut out the pictures.
Cite your pictures at the bottom of each image.
Don’t put all of your information on one sheet of paper and glue it to the collage;
that is not interesting to look at.
Don’t use a regular font size, style, and color. The words have to be large
enough to read up on the wall, and they should stand out.
Don’t have too much blank space on your page. It’s a collage; cover the whole
poster.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEASURING TYPICAL WHITETAIL AND COUES’ DEER
Measurements must be made with a flexible steel tape or steel cable and recorded to the nearest one-eighth of
an inch. To simplify addition, please enter fractional figures in eighths and in proper fractions. Refer to P & Y
Measurer’s Manual for a detailed description of measuring procedures.
A. Number of Points on each antler. To be counted a point, a projection must be at least one inch long AND,
at some location at least one inch from the tip, the length of the projection must exceed its width. Beam tip
is counted as a point but not measured as a point.
B.
Tip to Tip Spread is measured between tips of main beams.
C. Greatest Spread is measured between perpendiculars at a right angle to the center line of the skull at
widest part whether across main beams or points.
D. Inside Spread of Main Beam is measured at a right angle to the center line of the skull at widest point
between main beams. Enter this measurement again in “Spread Credit” column if it is less than or equal to
the length of longer main beam. If greater, enter longer main beam length for Spread Credit.
E. Total of Length of Abnormal Points. Abnormal points are generally considered to be those non-typical
in location (such as points originating from a point or from bottom or sides of main beam). Sketch all abnormal points on antler illustration (front of form) showing location and length. Measure in usual manner and
enter in appropriate blanks.
F.
Length of Main Beam is measured from the center of the lowest outside edge of burr over outer curve to
the most distant point of the main beam. Begin measuring at the location on the burr where the center line
along the outer curve of the beam intersects the burr.
G-1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Length of Normal Points. Normal points project from the top of the main beam as shown in
illustration. They are measured from the top edge of the main beam (baseline), over their outer curve, to
their tip. To establish the appropriate baseline, lay a tape or (preferably) a cable on the top edge of the
beam on each side of the point and draw a line under the cable to reflect the top edge of the beam as if the
point was not present. Record point lengths in appropriate blanks.
H-1-2-3-4. Circumferences. Circumferences are taken at the smallest place between corresponding normal
points, as illustrated. If first point is missing, take H-1 and H-2 at smallest place between burr and second
point. If G-4 is missing, take H-4 halfway between the center of G-3 and tip of main beam. Circumference
measurements must be taken with a steel tape (a cable cannot be used for these measurements).
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
1. Original scoring form completed by an Official Measurer of the Pope & Young Club or the Boone & Crockett Club.
2. Completed Fair Chase Affidavit.
3. Three photos of antlers, horns, or skull (a view from the front side, a view from the left side and a view
from the right side). A field photo is also requested, if possible.
4. $25.00 recording fee (made payable to the Pope and Young Club)
Drying Period: To be eligible for entry in the Pope & Young Records, a trophy must first have been stored under
normal room temperature and humidity for at least 60 days after date of kill. No trophy will be considered which
has been altered in any way from its natural state.
