DSC Conv. 2014

I would first like to welcome any & all of my AR family to the DSC Conv. in January.
This will be my 5th year there & now consider it my " family reunion" .
Hopefully I will get to meet & visit with as many as possible that attend.
Look for the guy with the big azz hat selling jewelry, that's not me, it's Hook, but look for him anyway.
I'm short, fat, bald, with a gray beard, should not be hard to spot among the other thousands there that match that same description.
Now, who's coming?

LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show.
Not all who wander are lost.
NEVER TRUST A FART!!!
Cecil Leonard

I'll be there, broadcasting live on Friday at www.highcaliberradio.com. 3rd year for me and the first for my new spouse, if she makes it in country by then. Btw, if you are looking for Hooker, the above description left out the staggering and the moonshine jug permanently affixed to his left hand oh, and the giant hat.

I'll be there with my whiskey box!
Todd and Rick - make sure you stop by the
Tri-State Taxidermy booth to sample some of my 18 year old single malt and see the leopard I took at Debshan Ranch this year.

Just so everyone will know what I look like, in the 2nd photo, I'm the 5th person on the far left side of the room, the bald guy sitting across from 2 other bald guys.

I don't have that much. I do have some 100 trillion dollar Zim notes. Do you think they will take them.

Gents:
If there is a dinner, we must make a plan to ID ourselves so we know who the others are. Or, perhaps we can meet for lunch during the day at the convention.

Clara and I will be enjoying the convention all 4 days and we are staying at the Omni.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Of course I will there!

I hang at the TGTS booth or with my buddy Aaron Neilson if I am not on walk-about.

Taking the long trip from Norway just to attend a hunting convention... Yup. It will be my first time. Would love to hang around the AR family if possible. Looking forward to the show !

My wife Ruth & I will be there as first timers We rented a small house downtown ( we like having space plus a kitchen) thru Vacation Rentals By Owner - VRBO. we stayed in a great Reno top floor condo at SCI Reno last winter. VRBO has houses/ condos usually per night cheaper than a Hyatt or Sheraton. We use it most times for our western hunts, they have places in every state.We're looking forward to the AR dinner (thanks, Biebs), and will be in touch

I chose to stay a bit further out, at the Indigo. It's an easy enough walk--about a mile east, at Main & Harwood--to the convention hall, but do I want to? I've never been to Dallas and don't know where the locals avoid.

pagosawingnut

Name tags would be a plus for the dinner. I propose to buy them and bring them along. Just need to know how many.

As it will be dark, or close to dark, at the time you head back to your hotel, I suggest a cab. The morning will not be bad, but downtown Dallas is not unlike any major CBD.

I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.
