CRITERIA

NEW! Hunters entering a ram/goat must be a WSF member in good standing when they SUBMIT their Hunt Report.

These awards will only be given for outstanding trophies. The International Awards Committee will annually determine the minimum sizes to be considered. In general, an animal must be in the top 20 percent of animals harvested to be considered. If, in a given year, no animals of a category fall in the top 20 percent, no awards in that category may be given. In addition, the number of Honorable Mentions will be limited. In general, no more than three (3) Honorable Mentions per category will be awarded.

As part of the Mountain Monarch Awards, any Caprinae taken that is truly exceptional, may qualify for a Mountain Monarch Award of Excellence.
 
The deadline for submittal is November 1 of each year. For the 2026 Awards Period, the animal must have been taken between August 30, 2022 - August 30, 2025. This three-year timing allows for some delay after harvesting the animal to obtain a proper measurement.
 

To be considered for a Mountain Monarch Award, the hunter must submit:

• A completed SCI score sheet. The score must be certified by an official SCI measurer and include both the measurer's and hunter’s signatures.
• A completed WSF Hunt Report form.
• A high-quality field photograph.
