Starting a thread to share photos from the 2022 Dallas Safari Club convention.

Was a great time, glad to see lots of AH members and outfitters from Africa managed to make it over.

Here are some of the replica mounts done by Kanati Elite Taxidermy. The lion was particularly impressive.

Not my taste exactly...

But this is a nice "His and Hers" set:

Some great bronze art, to include some pretty interesting tusk holders...

Thanks for the pictures, and posting the Kanati replica lion. I'll probably do something similar if the price is not outrageous. Did it look real???

I found out the pricing and shared with many, it's shocking. It did look amazing and many guys who have real ones said it's spot on. Now to the bad news....

$9800 shoulder
$22 000 full body

I have most of the same pics as @rinehart0050

Here are a few more. I hope everyone that was there got to visit the Banovich art booth! Simply incredible African art! Sorry no pics of his booth, just drooled the whole time.

The Selous .425 on Safari. The Joy of the Hunt.

I had my May 2016 safari to South Africa all planned in 2015 with my PH Eugene Small, I was taking my Westley Richards .476 double and .318 magazine rifle to use for the game to be hunted. Then at the Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas this January I stumbled into the find of my lifetime, Fredrick...

I didn’t take as many as I should have but I did take one of Mr. Selous’ 425. I’m no photographer

And the full body mounts of wild boar at the Wild Hungary booth floored me. They’re huge!

Thanks for posting, some fine pictures, all I have to do is get a lotto result then I could be tempted by a cat or kudu taxidermy as above, well impressed!!!

Is "Thomas" a replica in that lion replica photo?

How was the turnout to the convention?

Haha. Yes. I look nothing like that in real life....

Turn out was not bad. Definitely not as high as pre-covid, but Saturday especially was still very busy.

I heard a rumor that my favorite outfitters Dalton and York sold out their entire 2022 and 2023 quota!
