The GSCO Convention, exhibition and official awards were held from January 25 to 28, 2017 in the United States. In January, Las Vegas – the capital of entertainment, as well as major exhibition events in the United States of America becomes the meeting place for hunters from all over the world.
On January 27, 2017 I received the CAPRA WORLD SLAM award for the extraction of 12 different species of mountain goats of the world in 2016. It was done as part of the celebrations of the Grand Slam Club Ovis (GSCO) Convention.
I had to go through a rather difficult path before it became real. I had to study all the formalities of registering trophies, the possibility of my personal participation, and how to receive a prize directly at the convention, and so on.
Unfortunately, there is no clear instruction in open sources where you can read about all steps how to make it.
I would like to share a brief instruction on receiving awards in GSCO to correct this situation. It will be useful for the hunters who have not yet received awards from this honorary American club, but would like to receive them in the future. If you need more detailed instructions, I’m ready to share my experience through my personal account on the CMH website.
First of all, it is necessary to register membership directly in the GSCO Club in order to become a party to the Convention. All registration forms are available on the official website of the Club. http://www.superslam.org/community/join).
You can choose annual membership, two-year, lifetime or other options there. You also need to fill out a summary trophy list and attach your photos with trophies to this summary sheet to register your trophies in the club. All this information should be sent to the GSCO email address. It's on the website. They’ll respond to your request and inform that it will be considered by a specialist of the club within a few days. A confirmation of the registration of trophies will be sent to your e-mail within the specified period,, if it subjects to the registration principles.
If you want to receive an award directly at the convention, you need to notify the Club's specialists about your desire (by e-mail) and they’ll offer to receive an award Plaque made of wood with the official symbols of the club during the convention. You can purchase in the GSCO on line store, on the website. But it is necessary to register directly for the Convention. Then you can start to plan your visit, solve visa formalities and get a unique reward during the event! The procedure looks something like this.
I hope that my brief instructions will help other hunters to declare their achievements to the whole world.
