Sportsmen's Show Head and Horns

[HuntEmUp]

Wondering if any of you have entered the head and horns competition at the Puyallup show.  Thinking about putting my bull from this year in it, but not sure about leaving the rack at the show (as per the website) until the show closes.  Anyone have any experience with this, and would they let you take the horns home instead of leaving them there?

I've done this twice now, one with a blacktail and once with a Boone and Crockett mule deer. My first time i was a bi nervous to leave the rack there, but now I wouldn't sweat a drop worrying over it. They have everything well secured and have A LOT of trophy animals that they have to keep protected there. Don't worry about it, they'll keep your elk safe

First rule for the show is you have to post pictures of the animal here first. But that’s all I know about that

Second rule is we have to guess the score with the winner getting a chicken dinner.

If you want to get it scored you can bring it in and take it back once they are finished, but if you want to enter the competition to win prizes you have to wait till the end of show to pick them up. I’ve done this multiple times at the Portland show and have never had an issue. Good luck! I’ve won some sweet gear before

He’s right. It’s a rule.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

I have done it with a Roosevelt bull. I had no problem, nor did I anticipate one. What could happen? Have they been stolen before?

Has anyone won any prizes? Was thinking of taking my pope and young bear skull in

Don't pay the extra to put any of your records in the book. They don't ever follow through or return emails about why they don't update anything. Waste of money.

Yeah it kinda sucks about that. They never update the website logs. The books come out every few years and has always updated when I had entered a trophy though

I won 1st in rocky my elk rifle a few years back and one a whole bag full of gear! The second time I won 1st in mule deer rifle and I won a cheap gerber-havalon knockoff knife . All depends on your ranking for the entire show. Some of the higher prizes are usually scopes, range finders etc

I won a 22 rifle once (1st place muzzy elk), and a nice gun cleaning kit (consolation prize for muzzy elk).

It's been a while.....

They keep them pretty safe and usally someone is there 24/7 keeping tabs on stuff. I have been a vendor many times and there first to the door and there are guys already camped out there.


You 100% have to leave them if you want into the contest. If just scored you can take it with you.


Portland usually has way more entireties. There is cheats pretty much every year. Like whitetail from Canada or already been entered before and won.

Most prizes are pretty minimal. Get top 20 you get into some good stuff. I have entered a few best I did was 4th overall and won 500.00 the guys who won the guns were trying to trade me
