    Leupold Customer Service

    There is no other manufacturer of any product that has even close to what Leupold has. I have been a loyal fan for over 65 years and with only one exception (it was a gift) have I ever used anything except a Gold Ring scope. And in the very few cases where I had a problem it was always solved...

    First buffalo hunt question

    I agree that the area is more important and search for a PH that has access to those areas. The Selous and Rungwa areas are both for those who like the more traditional safari for buffalo. There are lots of buffs to choose from but look at the PH's who go after the Dugga boys. I went on my...

    Mark Sullivan the Expose’

    He would shoot them in the guts and walk up to them. According to others in Africa he would often shoot them with lighter calibers to wound them to induce a charge. I agree. If he has filmed that many charges then he just "ain't" that good of a shot with any rifle. He is probably for...

    DSC Update from the CEO

    You are correct about GRB. There is no parking that can take care of a large group. When the HSC was there there parking was a nightmare and HSC only a tenth of the size. Reliant is the only option. The only issue will be nice hotels are not very close.

    Why all the hate for CBL (Captive-Bred Lion) Hunting?

    Basically it has nothing to do with hunting as a traditional experience. Its buying something from a store. Nothing wrong with it just don't call it hunting. It is no different than shooting pen raised birds, or genetically altered whitetail deer in a high fence environment, fed year around...

    Let’s be honest….accuracy off the sticks

    Of course you are correct about a croc. Though, and o am only 75 and have been hunting since I was 7 I have never heard of a croc charging and mauling anyone. But maybe they are more dangerous than I thought.

    Let’s be honest….accuracy off the sticks

    If you are hunting DG then it isn't about groups. It's about the first shot hitting inside a 6 inch circle. For the second shot shoot meat.

    First dangerous game rifle

    Absolutely take your own rifle. You are hunting something that can kill people and you want to feel comfortable with the rifle - very comfortable. Ethically you should do everything in your power to execute everything at the highest level, including the gun you are practicing with.

    First dangerous game rifle

    Stop thinking about it and get a 375. Practice with it and take it with you. Remington, Ruger, CZ and Winchester are all great.

    Dallas Safari Club Convention Summary

    There are certainly a lot of challenges for leadership. Four years is a long time and if they do have a four year contract with Atlanta, then most definitely the leadership that created this mess is not up to the task repairing it. Sort of like Budwiser using the same marketing firm and...

    Out of curiosity does anyone from DSC management read any of our comments and if so maybe reply?

    Dallas Safari Club Convention Summary

    Word on the street at the Houston show was that DSC has a four year contract with Atlanta. Not sure if that is correct but that could make any changes more challenging from a financial perspective. Wonder is all that wasted money might have gone toward more conservation. Just a thought.

    Dallas Safari Club Convention Summary

    I agree with the HSC and DSC getting together. I am not sure why they should be competitors anyway.

    Dallas Safari Club Convention Summary

    The letter is a good start and at least he is recognizing that there is a problem. Maybe the line from Appolo13 is appropriate, "Houston, we have a problem." And yes that can be taken in a couple ways. It isn't so much about knowing there is a problem and we need to fix it. The people who...
