Anyone attending the P&Y Convention this April (15-18) in Phoenix? Not too far of a drive for you southern Utah boys. I leave this Wednesday for Phoenix to conduct the panel measurement on all the top heads submitted for the recording period. There will be some EXCEPTIONAL heads at the show.......especially a Mule Deer that will challenge the world record. We'll see where it ends up after panel measurement.

If you've never been to a P&Y Convention, you should truly plan on attending at least one of the days. There are numerous seminars throughout the week, lots of vendors and outfitters, golf tournament, and one of the best trophy displays imaginable. I look forward to them every other year.

I should try and go down, even though I never have. Have you ever been to the HuntExpo one in SLC? It's a pretty cool display and show also.

You should, Brett. It's a great time. I've been to the HuntExpo (once).....little different atmosphere at P&Y, IMO. It's pretty much about bowhunting history and our future, conservation efforts, legislation updates, membership meetings, measurer meetings, and LOTS of good seminars and food:
