2009 Seminars

Argalis of Asia
with José “Pepe” Madrazo & Dennis Campbell
Thursday, February 19 • 11:00 a.m.– Noon
There’s no teacher like experience, and these gentlemen have plenty of it. Pepé and Dennis will present the finer points of hunting the magnificent giant sheep in China, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and more (with plenty of photos). Stick around after the seminar while Pepé Madrazo autographs his newest book.

Packing Light and Packing Right
with Bryan Martin
Thursday, February 19 • 1:00 p.m.– 2:30 p.m.
As an outfitter and guide in British Columbia, Bryan Martin will give you the perfect packing list for your next sheep hunt, plus some things to leave at home. Bryan will also show you the newest gadgets, time-tested classics and the gear you can’t live without. This is a great seminar for hunters who are just catching sheep fever, as well as those who are already addicted to the mountains.

Beyond Benchrest: Long Range Shooting from the Skyline
with John Burns
Friday, February 20 • 11:00 a.m.– 12:30 p.m.
Every hunter knows that the conditions on the practice range are completely different from the mountain range. Join John Burns of Greybull Precision as he explains precision field shooting under real-world conditions. Start with your own “comfort zone” in the field and discover how the right equipment and techniques will help you extend the limits of your accuracy.

Western Hunting, part I
with Garth & Jason Carter
Friday, February 20 • 1:30 p.m.– 2:30 p.m.
Few people have dedicated their lives to hunting the
western United States the way the Carters have. In part 1, the father and son team of Garth & Jason explain methods to prepare for your next hunt — both mentally and physically. Family-owned Carter’s Hunter Services is a highly successful information company that
produces The Huntin’ Fool, a monthly publication
to keep hunters abreast of what’s happening in western big game hunting.

Western Hunting, part II
Saturday, February 21 • 9:30 a.m.– 10:30 a.m.
In part 2, the focus is on drawing the hard to get tags. You’ll learn the right way, and wrong way, to chase preference and bonus points; some states and units to avoid; and tips to increase your odds. Garth and Jason will also expose some of the hidden gems of western big game hunts — landowner tags, reservation hunts and more!

Big Game Theater
with Tom Hoffman
Friday, February 19 • 11:00 a.m.– 12:00 noon
2008 Ovis recipient Tom Hoffman moderates this fantastic presentation of specially selected hunting video excerpts from some of the world’s most accomplished hunters. Tom records his own hunting exploits as an amateur videographer and will show his, as well as many other hunters’, great adventures.

Trophy Room Design
with Todd Fry
Saturday, February 21 • 1:00 p.m.– 2:00 p.m.
