By Dylan Ray - April 25, 2023

April 24, 2023 - Pope and Young successfully completed their 33rd Biennial Convention in Reno, Nevada this past weekend and recognized 13 new world record animals at the Saturday Night Banquet. The Banquet finished four days of meetings, seminars, and activities that included the distribution of over 180 awards and featured 174 of the largest animals ever harvested with archery equipment. 

“The 33rd Biennial Pope and Young Convention showcases America’s commitment to bowhunting and bowhunting conservation. It is a gathering of the finest bowhunting conservationists in the world, and an opportunity to recognize their accomplishments both in terms of hunting, and conservation,” stated Dylan Ray, Pope and Young Marketing Director. “It’s so great to gather with like-minded, conservation minded, bowhunters. The trophy display was one that was talk of the entire convention center, and for good reason. I am already looking forward to 2025 and excited to see what we can come up with for Phoenix.” 

The full convention stat book that provides a full convention breakdown and complete list of all awards given, can be seen here. 

Mark your calendars now to join Pope and Young in Phoenix, Arizona in 2025 for the 34th Biennial Convention. It promises to be even bigger and better than ever.
