Inquiring minds want to know!

I'll start... a King of the Mountain wool jacket and a Beceite Ibex hunt in Spain for 2013 for me and the missus with Caza Hispanica!
No gun this year... I did handle quite a few but Mike Jines kept looking over my shoulder and making me nervous.

Next...


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

A SmokinTex smoker, a pair of of GripSwell shooting gloves, a pair of engraved (sable/elephant) crystal salt/pepper shakers, several DSC shirts, several videos including the new ones from Aaron and Buzz, and a pair each of new Russell Moccasin boots. No hunts, but I'm researching fishing trips and a 2013 caribou hunt for my wife.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

"Nothing serious" -- (the standard answer for the wife). Unfortunately, she has now figured out the program -- Hunt: deposit, balance a year or more later; Rifle: deposit now, balance later; Taxidermy: deposit now, balance later. For years, especially with overlapping trips, the total cost was a mystery -- to everyone but my secretary who kept the files.

Seriously though, at Dallas I only purchased some Red Ox gear, a couple of books, a rifle sling and a cartridge slide. "Nothing Serious."

A fox fur trimmed cashmere stole, two blouses, a wooly mammoth bracelet, a ring and a necklace (from Ivan's beautiful wife)... and none of it was, alas, for me. Big Grin

But the ladies had a great time, I reckon?

Oops, I did forget my present! A life membership in DSC. And that ain't bad at all.

Dang... I bought a elephant leather money clip from Will, too. I have it in my pocket as I type. First class stuff, that.

I believe it was African Sporting Creations at DSC.

The Wesley Richards people at SCI could stock them as well, I think.

It was good to see Bill with Trader Keith at the show. I picked up a culling belt for the .577, some snap caps and foam wads from Bill. A couple of books to add to the collection. A couple of the Red Oxx gun slips and a Little Rob. A hat and some other odds and ends. Also nailed down trips for 2012 and 2013. A good show and thank goodness for the nice weather this year.

415sbaird: you might want to think about different soles for your thula thula's: the issue soles are very slick; I spent my hunt slipping on grass and sliding down ravines-subsequent to the hunt I returned the boots to Russel and changed the soles to a more user friendly type. Otherwise really like the boots

I concur. I bought the Thula Thula's as well 2 years ago. Took them to Zim twice. Wore them one day, slipping and sliding the entire time. Had to go back to my other boots. However, I did use them this past June on my Leopard hunt. While the PH, camera man, and my son walked into the blind in socks, I wore the Thula Thula's. They are perfect for that!
