Along withe same line as Judge posted, some of us booked hunts,,, what else did folks buy at DSC? Due to advice on scopes that I received here on AR, I bought a scope for my 416 Rigby. I bought a Trijicon 1 X 4 with the cross reticule, not the post sight. I think I am really going to like it on buffalo,,,plus the usual dvd's,, books, and trinkets I can't walk away from..drwes you can make more money, you can not make more time | ||

I bought a Ruger Alaskan in .416 Remington for perhaps the stupidist reason ever. About 2 months ago I mis-read and advertisement (thinking .416 Rigby which I needed, instead of .416 Ruger, which I didn't even have) and ordered 10 boxes of ammo at the great price of $60 per box. So, why not have a "rain gun" as a second for those March hunts for p.a.c. elephants? Don't particularly like the rubber stock, but at the price, what the heck! And I already had $600 dollars of DGS ammo. Boy, am I stupid or what? I also bought a couple of necklaces for my sweetie from Ivan Carter's wife, Ashley and I bought Kwan and Karl supper at Bob's Steaks and Chops.... but I didn't drink any Scotch. JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||

I try to buy one giclee each year to build my art collection (albeit prints). This year's acquisition: http://www.janmartinmcguire.com/Originals2-13.html Sorry, they will not let me load a picture just the link. Mike | |||

I bought the last available signed and numbered (edition of 500) copy of Banovich's book "Beast". And, I'm awaiting quotes from several outfits on a leopard/sable combination. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

I also bought some jewelry from Ivans wife Ashley George. My wife loved it. That helped a whole bunch when I told her I booked An Ele hunt with TBGS in the Masai for 2013. | |||

Booked myself a B&C Pronghorn Antelope hunt in NM for late August as I had sold the remaining two hunts to close friends. Another good friend of mine bought my last Lion hunt with KarlS in Namibia for late 2010 so I think I'll join him and take my girlfriend. It will be her first trip to Africa. I think I sold myself on picking up a Ruger Classic African in .416 Rigby. A friend I used to work with has been with Ruger for 14 years now and after talking to him about the Classic vs the Hawkeye models, I believe I'll be happier with the Classic model.

I am glad I got out of there without writing a check. Saw two guns that really tested my ability to say no. A 20 gauge vintage FOX XE restored by Turnbull at his booth and a 375 John Bollinger at Lewis Drake. I have got to book that hunt in Zim and quit thinking about more shootin' irons! Picked up some NF 370 gr pills. EZ | |||

A red flat dog gunslip from Red Oxx (can't have enough of em) and an original oil painting for Momma called "Evening in Grizzly Country" by Stroncek which I found at the Call of Africa booth. 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.

Guys, I bought two wire baskets from Bots. Good will is always worth more than the dollar value. Sadie liked the baskets and so did I. We're off to somewhere exotic in '09. How could I go wrong? You guys that don't believe in that philosophy are just plain stupid. Sorry! Mark MARK H.

Looked through a truckload of stock blanks at Luxus Walnut and found a few that deserved a good home in Texas. They're now resting comfortably in my den. I looked long and hard for a combo hunt for moose and roan but I couldn't find anything. I guess I'm going to have to make up my mind and book one hunt at a time. For whatever reason, I have moose and roan on the brain. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

I paid one hell of a trophy fee for a damned near life-sized stuffed Zebra for my five year old daughter!!! Last year they had little stuffed critters on almost every isle but oh no...not this year. We made three laps around the convention center (every time we'd get close to the "outfitter's" booth I'd divert her attention because I didn't want her to see what was destined to become my destiny!!) before I'd finally had enough and coughed up the cash. Well, now I had this massive stuffed critter and everyone's laughing at me and my daughter just wants to go home and "feed" it so, needless to say, we were out of there within an hour and a half. I did manage to shake Buzz's hand before my daughter drug me off so it wasn't a complete bust. Next year I think I'm buying a real stuffed leopard, and maybe a buff to go with it, if you know what I mean  Regards, Scott "....but to protest against all hunting of game is a sign of softness of head, not of soundness of heart."

In a deserted parking lot, in sub-freezing weather, a small group of men stand close to the open tail-gate of an American made pick-up truck. Darkly colored merchandise from the Middle East is closely examined, one piece at a time, and a half dozen out of fifty are off-loaded. At this point the men commence to speak in a rather animated fashion, some kind of negotiations are taking place. While at DSC I learned that this is how stock blanks are purchased. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

I think Frank only books hunts as a reason to buy a new rifle. I booked the hunt with Frank so I wouldn't be tempted to buy a new rifle. Seroiusly I purchased a beautiful bronze from Raj S Paul. I had been looking at this piece for three years. Two Leopards in a tree with a Go Away bird. This man is a great artist who truly sees Africian animials and properly replacates them.Also I brought my wife the best thing she could receive, I returned unharmed! | |||

I re-ordered my Russell walking shoes, gold bracelet for the wife, a book from Craig, a Silver & gold elephant hair bracelet for same from Aventura (American dude who fought with the Rhodies) and looked at booking a leopard/buff hunt with Chifuti or a leapard/sable with my old standby John Sharp. I really like the guys at Chifuti. will finalize this spring for a 2012 hunt. Nice seeing a lot of you guys. jorge USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Tony got me started buying this bolt action trash (R93's). I've purchased four R93's since his initial recommendation, so blame him ...... not me. In Tony's defense, I'm glad he got me started ......
