Venue changed from International Sportsmen’s Expo

Phoenix, AZ -(AmmoLand.com)- The Arizona Game and Fish Department will not be selling wildlife assets at this weekend’s International Sportsmen’s Expo at WestWorld of Scottsdale.

Instead, all antlers, head mounts, hides and other wildlife parts seized during law enforcement investigations, obtained from animals killed in vehicle collisions, or acquired through donations will be sold through a silent auction April 2-3 at the department’s 2016 Outdoor Expo at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility.

Proceeds will be used to support the department’s law enforcement program through the purchase of equipment (evidence collection kits, digital cameras, audio recorders, metal detectors, decoys and night vision equipment) and specialized training (interview and interrogation classes, wildlife forensic classes, crime scene investigation training) that assist officers in more effectively performing their duties.

The Ben Avery Shooting Facility is located at 4044 W. Black Canyon Blvd., in north Phoenix. For more information, visit www.azgfd.gov/assets, or call (623) 236-7303.
