SCI convention for finding a hunt?

[chaser_2332]

Who here has had good luck finding quality hunts at the Nashville convention? I’m only a few hours away is the show worth it?

Depends on what you are looking for. Sheep, exotics, out of the country stuff I think it's a great resource to meet people/owners, get a sense for prices, etc.

You might give the Dallas SCI show a shot too. I’ve booked a couple hunts at both shows, but I prefer the Dallas show. I bought my dad a whitetail hunt that he really had a great time on, it was nice for me to be able to get a feel for the outfiter in person. I also was able to talk to a couple outfitters who I thought I might want to hunt with that convinced me I absolutely did not want to hunt with them. Having been on a few bad outfitted hunts, getting to meet an outfitter in person before you send them money is priceless.

If I lived that close I’d go check it out to meet some outfitters.

Both the big SCI shows are worth the price of admission just to see the unbelievable taxidermy and displays. There’s occasionally a bargain or two to be had as well. These days what can be considered a bargain is open for interpretation though.
