Yep, that’s right.  I honestly thought it was a joke until I checked out the website a little more and found to my surprise, it’s not a joke.  Certainly not as prestigious as the revered Boone and Crockett Club, Pope and Young Club, or even Safari Club International record books, but the Road Kill Record Book honors those animals that meet their maker at the hands of car driving non-hunters and hunters alike.  Here is an excerpt from their home page…

“It’s a shame that so many superb examples of various species are left to feed turkey vultures, crows  and other non-trophy critters along the roadbanks. The Road Kill Record Book Club breathes new life into the dandiest denizens of the fields and woods with their inclusion in their own trophy record book.  It’s the right thing to do.”

Check out the website.  They have interesting trophy categories such as  protected species, yucky stuff, small game and furbearers, and even songbirds.  They’ve got a few t-shirts for sale that would certainly qualify as being excellent conversation pieces in your outdoor circles.  Not sure I’ll be rushing them my $10.00 for submitting a big road kill to the record books but an interesting concept nonetheless.
