Recognizing Trophy Game and Hunters

The Cy Curtis Award celebrates Oklahoma's trophy animals and the hunters who harvest them. Established in 1972, the award honors Cy Curtis, a former Wildlife Department biologist widely credited with successfully restoring white-tailed deer populations in Oklahoma. Today, the program extends its recognition to all of Oklahoma’s trophy big game species, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, pronghorn, and black bears.

Oklahoma has produced numerous remarkable entries into the Cy Curtis Program in recent years. These trophy harvests are meticulously documented in the Cy Curtis Awards Online Database, which enables users to explore thousands of record-breaking animals harvested within the state. 

If you need to request a correction to a record, please contact heather.delmoral@odwc.ok.gov and include your harvest details along with your Go Outdoors Oklahoma Customer ID.

 


 

How Scoring Works

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. Animals that meet minimum requirements receive entry into the state’s Cy Curtis Record Database along with the hunter, who also receives a certificate of recognition. 

Score sheets for each species are available below for information and rough scoring purposes. To be eligible for entry, the trophy must be officially scored as outlined above.

Program Scoring Criteria

  • Species eligible for scoring and entry include legally harvested white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, antelope, and black bear.
  • Official scoring must take place anytime following a 60-day mandatory drying period.
  • Harvest, check-in, and license information are required at the time of scoring/submission.
  • Hunters must sign and submit the Cy Curtis Fair Chase Statement with their entry. Digital signatures are accepted.
