Yes. Hunters compete to kill the largest animals, or those with the biggest horns or antlers. Most awards are centered around killing a particular set of animals. For example, shooting five of 12 record-class bears makes the member eligible for the “Bears of the World” award, or 79 record-class African species means eligibility for the “Trophy Animals of Africa” award at the diamond level. Awards are presented with great fanfare at SCI’s annual convention where the hunters receive elaborate trophies.
