SCI convention

[Cme1983]

Do you get a special price if you book at the convention? Or is it just a benefit of seeing the outfitter in person?

Just the benefit of seeing the outfitter in person. No deals at the convention. Maybe in a month of two deals will pop up for unsold quota but people are still making buying decisions for 30 days after the convention. It is a good opportunity to look at hunts for the upcoming years. Meeting the PH and figuring out how you “click” with him is a very important element considering you will be spending 17-18 hours with that person for a week to 21 days. The ph can certainly make or break the safari experience.

I went to my first SCI this past weekend with the intention of finalizing 2027 safari plans for me and my son. I spoke to several outfitters and several I did not get a chance to meet and work got in the way of the AH dinner, so I regretfully missed meeting a lot of you in person. However, one mission was accomplished in that I did book a buff and PG hunt for us with Jamy Traut at his Caprivi camp in 2027.

Also, I handled a few used doubles at the Heym and Rigby booths...but I decided to add another buffalo and a sable to the quota for our 2027 Namibia hunt instead. It might be the only chance we get to do a father / son safari, so lets go for it!

I was fortunate enough to hunt Africa 3 times with my father, I'll always cherish those memories!! Really wonderful you and your son are making these plans!! Take plenty of pictures of you two together while on safari!

I love that you are buying more with your son and making memories around that. Fantastic.

Concur! Nicole is who we'll be calling at Gracy for all future needs..

Same she’ll be handling mine as well from now on.

I showed my buddy Scott my GoPro footage from the Omay, now he & his son are coming with me in 2027 to the Omay for buff & tuskless.

Scott’s wife and son wanted to come to the show as well so the 4 of us attended.

I think I’ve created a monster…. Scott hasn’t been to Africa yet but after the show he’s booked Zim 27, SA 28, Spain 28

I was in awe… the man had full knee replacement 6 weeks ago and was on a scooter.

Last thing: Our flight for today is cancelled and the soonest flight back is Wednesday. so it looks like we are hanging around Nashville for a few more days.

Karma.....You all enjoyed SCI too much.
Now you all need to relax and enjoy what Nashville has to offer by enjoying the: sights, sounds, food, and entertainment for one more day/night.
