I do believe that number 14 is a bracelet made from the hair on an elephants tail, taken after the kill. As far as whose it is, that is a question I would have to guess on because I do not know what each successful hunters bracelet looked like.

My first guess would be Bill Negley.

You are correct for 1/2 of #14 is a bracelet made from the hair on an elephants tail.

However, you are incorrect for the other 1/2 in that Bill Negley is not connected to the bracelet.

Re-read the question, I clarified the sentences a bit...

Question #11

Name the animal that Fred Killed that was a World Record at the time he killed it, but was never recognized as a World Record by P&Y. Another bowmen killed a larger animal later the same year and when P&Y gave the World Record awards, another bowmen received the award.

Fred being the true gentleman that he always was, never mentioned this fact nor claimed this animal to be a short lived World Record, even though it truly was.

Wade, I believe I understand more clearly now. I will wait until I get to the P&Y book tonight to find the answer, no more guesses.

Swinehart had a good luck bracelet made from hair taken from the tail of an elephant he killed.  He is shown wearing it on his left wrist in several photos.

Wow! Tough questions Wade-you realize it has taken 8 pages so far to get about as many correct answers!

#15 is Glenn St. Charles

[Missaukee]

I initially thought Barren Ground Caribou, but someone answered caribou and that was incorrect, so I second guessed my self. I double checked the book when I returned home last night and I am going with it. Fred shot his in 1959, Bill Brown had a larger one in 1960 before the first P&Y awards ceremony.

Of note is that Fred's 1956 Rocky Mountain Goat was the largest in the book as of 1956, I am not sure the order of entry with NFAA entries but technically as of 1956 Fred had sort of a World Record for this species.

Missaukee -

Not sure which edition of the P&Y record book you are referencing, but check the First Edition, 1975 for Rocky  Mountain Goat...

Note...

42-2/8 - Wm Mastrangel - 1956
39-2/8 - Fred Bear - - - 1956

And your final answer is.... ???
