2012 “Head & Horns” spotlights full-body big game mounts, on-site scoring of show attendee’s trophies and sales of new big game record books
Big game trophies, including three eye-popping full-body big game mounts, on-site scoring of trophies submitted by show attendees, and new books devoted to the record-setting Northwest big game trophies headline the 2012 “Head & Horns” display and competition at the Washington Sportsmen’s Show .
New to the “Head & Horns” are three full-body big game trophies, including a world record American bison taken in South Dakota. At 2,100 pounds and standing 6-foot 4-inches at the hump, this outstanding specimen is joined by a 400-pound black bear, 200-pound mountain lion and 16 head and horn big game mounts. This always popular event is made possible through sponsorship support from Fort Knox Safes, Bushnell Outdoor Products, Coast Products, Midland Radio, Ruger Firearms and ATK/Federal Premium.

Of course, no “Head & Horns” is complete without the annual measuring competition to see which new big game harvests warrant inclusion in record books.
Area hunters are also invited to bring heads, horns or horn/antler sheds to be measured and scored by Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young representatives for possible inclusion in upcoming Northwest record books. Prizes are awarded for all three methods of harvest: rifle, archery and black powder. The top entries from each of the categories will be on display throughout the show and the entry deadline for the competition is 8:00 pm Saturday, Jan. 28. The final winning entries will be on display on Sunday, Jan. 29.
