The Value of DSC Convention

[tarbe]

After two days at the DSC convention this year, Kathy and I were heading to the AH dinner Saturday night.

She so enjoyed visiting with the AH folks and Outfitters (in particular Mashambanzou Safaris and John Sharp Safaris) that she said she thought it was probably time for me to start planning a Cape Buffalo hunt.

I dang near drove off the road!

Do I think that conversation would have happened, had it not been for the convention? Probably not!

So here's the deal...if you want to go hunting in Africa and you missed DSC, the Houston Safari Club Convention is this weekend and SCI is in a few weeks.

Get busy making some travel plans, and bring your Minister of Finance!!

Sage counsel! Say @tarbe, if Zim is a possible location for your buff hunt and you'd like to talk, let me know.

I am glad to have met you and your Minister of Finance at the dinner again this year. My Minister of Finance allowed me to book a leopard hunt because she understood the possibility of missing one entirely if I waited. I beleive meeting people of like minds lets her at least see my addiction is shared by other "normal" people. Well normal for thise site, anyway.

At this point (so early) I am leaning towards either Mozambique or Zimbabwe.

I am certain I could probably have a great hunt in either country, with at least a half-dozen different outfits per country.

Personal recommendations from experienced guys counts for a lot!

Heck, it was Wes that got me talking to Richard at Mashambanzou. After a couple hours of visiting I was certain I'd like to share a camp/hunt with him. We can talk about reloading and bullet selection during down-time!

I guess this is why we have to go back. So many animals, so many good outfits!
