Hair-Raising Seminars at the 2019 SCI Hunters’ Convention

SCI LogoOpportunities to learn new hunting techniques or refine old ones, discover imaginative ways to prepare wild game, or to glean tips on the best care for equipment and gear are yours to take advantage of in the dozens of informative and educational seminars offered at the 2019 SCI Hunters’ Convention. Plan to attend the Convention Jan. 9-12, 2019 in Reno, Nevada.

In addition to the highly popular seminars presented by Jim Shockey and Craig Boddington, the following seminars are being offered:

Hair-Raising Adventures and Stories from The Land of The Bear
Denny Geurink has spent nearly three decades hunting and outfitting in the “Land Of The Bear.” Invited to the former Soviet Union via the Gorbachev government back in 1990, he will discuss his first trip to “The Evil Empire” as President Reagan referred to the Soviet Union at the time. He will talk about encounters with the KGB, harrowing bear attack stories, hair-raising adventures in Siberia, and a look at the people, food and culture, and incredible hunting opportunities.

The Hidden War: Spec Ops Game Wardens Fight for America’s Wildlife
Lt. John Nores Jr, team leader for California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife’s spec ops Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET), will give an update and overview of the success and challenges of his team’s fight to stop international drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) from destroying our nation’s wildlife, wildlands and waterways throughout the United States.  Reviewing his team’s first five years of operations, John will cover cartel environmental crime trends over that time period and highlight his team’s development and use of amazing K9’s to stop the decimation inflicted on our nation’s wildlife resources by these clandestine groups. Nores will discuss California’s recent legalization of recreational cannabis production and use (Proposition 64), the effects these laws have on our wildlife resources and the impacts other states should consider when looking at legalization.  John will also describe the challenges for SCI, and other worldwide conservation organizations, to aid in this national fight.

Other seminars include Reloading for Accuracy presented by Ben Syring with Hornady and Improving Your Wingshooting presented by Vicki Ash and Gil Ash. View a list of all the seminars and their descriptions at https://www.showsci.org/seminars/.
