THE BIGGEST DISPLAY EVER!

But that’s not the half of it! e 33rd Recording Period set a lot of new records both in the books and in the records department. During this recording period we implemented many new processes and programs in the Official Measurer’s Network and in our office. To boot, both myself and our Records Coordinator, Becca Burt, began our journey with Pope & Young in the same short two years.

Hunters and P&Y alike are setting new records and doing so with some incredible stories and determination. Here some interesting facts about this years Big Game Award and Display:

• We have 172 trophies on display this year. at is over 40 more than ever before

• We have 52 Velvet trophies on display this year, that is 14 more than ever before

• We accepted 4821 entries in this recording period, up from 325 from last period

• We have 52 trophies on display that in the Top 10 all time for their category

• Did I already say we have 13 NEWLY RECOGNIZED WORLD RECORDS TO SHARE WITH YOU?!

• ere are 14 hunters who are receiving more than one award at our Big Game Awards

• 51 of the 57 categories and ALL 29 species are represented in this display

• 32 different States or Provinces are represented by trophies taken there, 37 from Alaska alone

I have had the privilege to speak with virtually all of the trophy owners over the past two years, most of which will be here to support Pope & Young and receive recognition for their amazing bow hunting accomplishments. With so many incredible trophies, I hope you take the time to say hello to these amazing hunters and take some long lasting photos in the Big Game Display ballroom! I know I plan to.

Lastly, I want to thank all of our volunteers who have spent weeks of their lives here in Reno helping my team, and our Panel Judges, handle all of these amazing trophies! is is no small feat. If you are ever temped by the idea of volunteering your time with Pope & Young at events or our biennial conventions, please reach out to us. We would welcome your support and help.

Welcome and enjoy this incredible display!
