Looking for something to do this weekend? Grab your coat and head to the South Carolina Lowcountry for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition! You and over 40,000 others can enjoy one of the most anticipated shows of the year, featuring 500+ artists and exhibitors.

We’ll be there as an exhibitor, showing off Anchorpoint and Trophy Score in the Sporting Village.  No, these aren’t dog names, even though the DockDogs competition and retriever demonstrations will be going on there as well.  Trophy Score is the only big game scoring app for the iPhone approved by Boone and Crockett and SCI, while Anchorpoint hosts a full-featured hunt club manager along with the database of trophies generated by Trophy Score.  Stop by and say hello inside the tent located at Brittlebank Park along the Ashley River.

The Expo is open to the public 9 am – 6pm Friday & Saturday and 9am – 5pm Sunday.  The event calendar is chockful of great stuff, from a Birds of Prey Flight Demo, presentations by Jack Hanna, Cast Net and Fly Fishing demonstrations……whew, there really is something for everyone.

Tickets are $20 Friday & Saturday and $10 on Sunday with kids under 10 free all weekend.

Reno….that magical sideshow on the way to Lake Tahoe and home to the annual convention of Safari Club International.  SCI offers a lot of reasons for attending their big event – and I mean BIG, somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000 were expected – but I was there to meet with the Records Committee and present the final version of Trophy Score.

Presenting an idea is one thing, which I did way back in the fall of 2008.  Some mockups, concepts, that sort of thing. Seeing a working product is another and like Boone and Crockett, SCI immediately recognized Trophy Score as a tool to reach the most coveted of hunters: the younger generation. Embracing the cutting edge technology of the leading mobile devices in the world, Apple iPhone and (introduced today) iPad, these organizations now have a direct line to kids who love to hunt and who want to know how their trophies measure up.

“But SCI, etc. only track best in class” you say? That’s where Anchorpoint comes in. Hunters, young and old alike, can sync their trophies to the Anchorpoint worldwide trophy room and share them with hunters around the world.  And through Trophy Score, if a hunter believes they have a world-class animal down, there are in-app links to finding official measurers in their area.

If you’ve never been to Reno for the SCI Convention, make plans for it next year.  It’s open to SCI members only so mark your calendars now for January 26-29, 2011.

The convention had plenty of outfitters, manufacturers and loads of outstanding taxidermy displays. Check out a few of them after the jump.
