If you were to pick one this coming year to go to which one Dallas Safari Club or SCI in Tennessee ? Nec Timor Nec Temeritas | ||

For me, it would be DSC. More casual, not quite as rushed. Guns and hunting | |||

DSC, though Nashville is appealing, I would still chose Dallas. | |||

If yoy can, compare the costs to attend, if that's a consideration. I found DSC less costly but either show is fabulous. Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

I've done both a a number of times. I prefer the more hunter-friendly atmosphere of the Dallas show. | |||

The dates may be a factor. I know we can’t make SCI, which is late in February, as we will be hunting in Cameroon. When is Dallas? Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Dallas is the best club and their show is great. That said…you really cannot beat Nashville as a convention destination. The Nashville SCI Convention will likely be great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

Personally, I think the DSC show is too soon after the holiday . Both are worth going to . | |||

We'll be attending DSC as part of the DSC 100 Volunteers. We look forward to hosting everyone in Nashville as well! | |||

Most Hotel Rooms are already booked there. Will be a interesting New Show destination for sure. Nec Timor Nec Temeritas | |||

Usually I'd pick Dallas, but Nashville is 2 hours away. So, both for me in 2023. Will J. Parks, III | |||

Neither for me. But, if I did choose one to attend this year it would likely be Dallas. | |||

Nashville for me. 90 minute drive. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Nashville, 30 minutes for me. Regards, Robert ****************************** H4350! It stays crunchy in milk longer! | |||

Neither. Been so many times to both that I’d rather save the money and spend it on a hunting trip……… Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

I didn't realize that Dallas was so early in January. Thanks, Bill. I like to see my old friends - at least those who are still kicking and hunting. But I usually choose SCI, and although Dallas is the only option for me this year, it's really too early after New Year's Day. Sad to say, I think I will have to miss it. Too much work piles up during the holidays and needs attention just then. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Go to both if you can. Hunting shows are good fun. Been to quite a few, here and abroad, and always enjoyed them. | |||

Dallas is the best IMO, basing that on a lot of years..and its affordable for all..Vegas and Reno has always been about money.. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

I much prefer Dallas, but doing Nashville this year as the wives want to go do Nashville instead this year. Dallas is always too close to the holidays for us as well. Only make it there every other year or so. Mac | |||

I preferred DSC even though Nashville is closer. I heard all the Convention hotels are sold out and the ones outside are expensive. I do think it is a good idea to try Nashville. Hopefully, Nashville will draw in some new customers for everyone that hasn't been able to make it to Reno or Vegas. | |||

Best is a subjective term. What is important to you? Timing? Cost? Ease of travel ? Other things ? We try to go to both . Both are worth going to. I missed DSC last year due to having pneumonia. We did go to SCI. We are going to both this year . I believe SCI is larger . It will be interesting to see how SCI goes next year in Nashville. I have been going for many years . Always in Vegas or Reno. I wish DSC was not so close to the holidays . | |||

My wife and I will be attending SCI. This will be my third convention and her first. We've discussed doing Dallas, as well, but too much booked for Q1 next year already. | |||

What I like about DSC: (1) Cheaper to attend (2) first show, better booking dates available. What I don't like about DSC, (1) last weekend of Texas deer season (2) not as big as SCI. | |||

What is the cost of the Nashville SCI. Good Shooting. phurley | |||
|
One of Us |
Depends on the number of days and any events one chooses to attend . | |||
|
One of Us |
Depending on how many days you attend but in general, about 4-5 times as expensive if you attend each for 4 days. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

I've never been to either show. What all is there besides guides/outfitters/PHs selling hunts? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

You name it, it is there. Guns, ammo, knives , clothing of all sorts, furs, vehicles , jewelry , furniture, wine, and about anything else one can think of . | |||

Every hunter needs to attend at least once. It will amaze you as to what is on display. From taxidermy to Holland & Holland showing off doubles costing up to $300k. Latest in optics, most firearm manufacturers showing off their products. List goes on and on. Taking the wife this year. She will love it, just have to trick her to avoid seeing the jewelry booths ![]() My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Bill, about all I can say is that these shows are like incredibly expensive candy stores for very rich kids. I love them, and the only thing that has ever kept me away was bad timing and the difficulty of getting away and the hassle of getting there and back. If you go, you should probably leave your check book and all credit cards behind and even then bring your accountant. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

I’ll being in Mexico hunting during DSC. Try to never miss the SCI convention - looking forward to seeing how it goes in Nashville. The show always end up costing me at least $10K LOL!
