Oklahoma Station Safari Trails – May 2011

The “BP” rack measured 186 inches typical and 220 inches nontypical. A non-typical includes abnormal points in the scoring or measuring while those points are deducted on a typical rack.

State wildlife officials plan to use the “BP” rack in an educational display, part of a new Operation Game Thief trailer that the Oklahoma Station Chapter of Safari Club International has funded.

“It’s going to have a wall of shame,” said Robert Fleenor, head of law enforcement for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “These antlers are going to be the centerpiece.”
