Just curious, what booths do you consider "must sees" DSC? Outfitter, gunmaker, jeweler taxidermist, whatever, what, or who, are you planning to see?

I highly recommend going by Wendell's booth and throwing rocks at him as well as poking him with a stick.

I try to take enough time to see everything. Then again, I live in Dallas and can make most of the 4 days. If your travel plans do not allow it, I would focus on catching up with your old outfitters/PHs, narrowing down your next hunt. I always like the booths that are out of my league like H&H, etc.

Wayne at AHR, Leota's Jewelry, Luxus, Wendell, Buzz and Myles at CM Safaris, Boyt Harness, Russell Moccasin, Heym USA, Uganda Wildlife Safaris might be interesting, probably find a few other booths to drop by.

Not sure I'll be spending any real money, but mostly shooting the breeze.

I would drop by that good looking devil Dave Fulson's booth at Chifuti Safaris. I fact I would book a 28 day shoot two of everything safari while I was there !!!!

Ah, how could I forget to mention the raffle girls? You must stop by to see them. The more tickets you buy, the friendlier they get...

Come one Dave do'nt hog the light, show it a little bit too Moz as well

I would recommed supporting the small outfitters that have stuck it out and are still hammering away too make a living

Of course the ticket girls first, but I believe there will be a couple of Hooters girls at the KWAN Booth

Is this the SAME Dave Fulson I know?

And WHAT would Ms. Enslin have to say about that?

Russ, are we having a quick beer at Don's at 17:00

Yeah I must admit Dave is a whole lot more handsome than I, so he has the advantage on that score

Ms Enslin , well what happens in USA stays in the USA I heard

dont forget to buy some jewelry from ashleigh george (my wife) so i can get some money to buy raffle tickets , so the raffle girls will talk to me !

Hey Ivan, I thought the girls were always friendly with you movie stars.

Yeah well, you "Pretty Boys" and TV stars are going to have to relocate to Reno to see my rugged mug. I have up on handsome decades ago.

Rich

Well-l-l-l-l-l! You should come by our booths 1244-1247. I'll be the oldest, grayest, fattest guy with the the thinning hair, ponytail and beard. Sounds kinda scary. Anyway Adam or I can help with most anything you'd like to discuss about Africa. I can do a pretty good job on Alaska species also since I lived there 22 years. We also have some excellent offerings in in the western US, Argentina, New Zealand and Mexico. Come by for a visit. Oh! We'll have some beautiful ladies in the booth also and if your lucky you'll get to talk to one.

Mark

......AND...if Pam and the other SHE Safari girls are at her booth, I wouldn't make that my LAST stop. Mark, Adam may have caught me looking at the Mrs last year....need to stay away from looking there.

I apologize, Ivan pointed out that it would be unfair to use my charm, looks, wit, and charming personality to lure people to the booth.
I guess I will go back to telling everybody I am Bill Gates younger brother and business partner.

We'll be right across from that handsome Dave! I won't be buying any tickets from the ticket girls, because my far "better looking" half will be keeping close tabs on me. I'll be keeping the guys away from the "movie stars" wife who will be selling jewelry... Can't wait to see everyone there!!!!

Ivan does she have a booth?

Mike

Ivan, my wife bought a bunch of stuff from your wife a couple of years ago. Spent all my money on jewelry and had none left for a raffle ticket where I'm positive I would have won a buffalo hunt!!!!!!...........probably going to happen again.

Terry speaking as an old hand with only 6 years of experience. I started from one side and walked up and down all the isles. and Went back to whom I wanted to do more talking with.

WOW Ivan you can actually get money from you wife, mine spends it all before I can get to it.

Well, since I don't get to go this year all I can do is clench my teeth and hiss "Shit!" in Afrikaans accent the way my Namibian PH Johann did when I blew a gimme on a fine gemsbok at 50 yards.

In addition to those named above, you should definately go by Champlins booth, and for sure come by Heyms and see ME , as I will be helping Chris.

Also if you want a great hunt in Zimbabwe, go and see Dale Des Fountain at Brooklands Safaris.

jerry , thats what i would like to believe , reality is often somewhere else ...

Please same image of the show are welcome, mainly of the girls, of course............ Yeah

Mercy me, ya'll are ALMOST making me cancel my exotic hunt out the Devils River beginning Monday. If I was still 40 sumptin I could handle the show and the hunt but as one matures we must make choices and mine is the hunt.

Ya'll enjoy and hope to hear a lot about it as I hand out here next week on my return from taking some aoudad, axis etc on the Rio Grande!

Will miss seeing Ivan, John Sharp and all the wonderful folks at the hotel events.

Have a great time and spend lots of money, hopefully some of it will stay behind in our great state of Texas.

Make time to pop in at the Zambezi Hunters booth - numbers 2250 & 2251.
