Cy Curtis Awards Program
WHAT IS THE CY CURTIS PROGRAM ?
The Cy Curtis Award, named in honor of the man most responsible
for the restoration of whitetail deer in Oklahoma, was
established in 1975 to recognize trophy deer taken throughout
the state. Cy Curtis was a wildlife biologist who worked for the
Wildlife Department was from Stilwell and lived from 1912 to
1982.
Program Scoring Criteria
- deer legally taken during the 1972 season or thereafter are eligible for scoring
- official scoring of trophies can be done any time following a 60 day drying period
- harvest information, check in information and license information is required at time of drop off
How It Will Be Scored?
Measurements must be taken by a qualified employee of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, or by a measurer certified by Boone & Crockett or Pope & Young. Sportsmen who harvest deer that meet minimum entry requirements are acknowledged by receiving a certificate as well as having their names entered in the state record book.
Below you will find the score sheets for the Cy Curtis typical and non-typical white-tailed deer. These are being provided for information and rough scoring purposes. To be eligible for entry into the Cy Curtis Awards Program, the rack must be scored by an official scorer employed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, or a certified scorer for either Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young organizations.
