Seminars

Friday, February 2
Times: TBD
GSCO Milestones

Have a question about GSCO’s milestones or just want to discuss how GSCO’s hunting milestone platforms have played a role in your passion for hunting? Perhaps you’re an Outfitter and want to learn more.  Join GSCO Executive Director Jason Price and GSCO’s Cameron Mitchell for a conversation about all things that are GSCO Milestones.

Times: TBD
GSCO Rex Baker Super 40

Rex Baker has always had a passion for hunting, starting out with a slingshot as a kid and working his way up to big game in his 30s. Rex has taken 345 different species. His true passion is mountain hunting. Rex has collected 38 different Capra as well as 85 Ovis, which includes 41 different species/sub-species. Rex has been honored with both GSCO’s Pantheon and OVIS awards. In addition to receiving the Weatherby Award, he is one of the founders of the Conklin Award, considered by the hunting community as its “tough guy award.” Those are words that do a good job of describing Rex’s hunting career.

Both GSCO’s Ovis and Capra programs have a “Super 40.” Why not one for North American big game? That is exactly what Rex proposed to GSCO and then was implemented into GSCO’s milestone platforms.

Do not miss this seminar discussion by two of the most accomplished hunters in the world. Join GSCO Ovis and Pantheon recipients Rex Baker and Ed Yates as they discuss our newest milestone, the Rex Baker Super 40.

Saturday, February 3
Times: TBD
GSCO Road to the Pantheon

Brad Black received the SCI World Conservation and Hunting Award in 2014 and was the recipient of the SCI International Hunting Award in 2022. Amazingly, he was the recipient of the Weatherby Award, Conklin Award, and was inducted into the Pantheon, all in 2023. There is no doubt that Brad has certainly paid his dues and earned his place in the hunting world.

Please join 2023 Pantheon recipient Brad Black as he discusses his amazing hunting career and his dedication to wildlife conservation around the world which eventually led him down the Road to the Pantheon.

Times: TBD
