with a check to support
the work done by their
organization.
On behalf of DSC – its members and its board – I want to congratulate
the Guides and Outfitters Association of British Columbia on its 50th
anniversary. What an accomplishment! Hunters in Canada have benefitted,
but GOABC’s reach has also made strides in the industry and for the sport
that have influenced policy and hunting opportunity around the world.
GOABC has been in partnership with DSC as a Preferred Partner in
Conservation for a few years now, and our relationship has never been better.
British Columbia is also a pivotal province in the Canadian hunting scene,
with its vast natural resources and its small but vocal minority of anti-hunters.
Not only does DSC have representation among Canadian hunters, but
GOABC has been instrumental in raising the bar on professional hunter
standards and ensuring that buyers at our annual show have the best
experience possible with the highest quality of hunting guide.
Thank you, GOABC, for your hard work, determination and commitment
to the mission of conservation, public education and hunter advocacy. It is
a pleasure working with you side by side, and we hope there will be 50 more
years of excellence! CT
PREFERRED PARTNERS IN CONSERVATION
GOABC Commits $250,000 To Wildlife
Stewardship Partner Program
The Guide and Outfitters Association of British Columbia has announced a five-year, $250,000
commitment to a new provincial Wildlife Stewardship Partner Program, demonstrating the role of the
hunter conservationist in wildlife management. The Wildlife Stewardship Partner Program will provide
annual funding of $50,000 per year for community-based wildlife stewardship initiatives.
Recently, the hunting community has been facing unprecedented attacks in the media. Anti-hunting
activists, including some in the provincial and national media, are attempting to impose their own
personal beliefs and opinions on the hunting community.
They are attempting to divide hunters based on their citizenship, financial

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Opportunity of a Lifetime
T
his is my last letter for Camp Talk, and I am struck by two things: how fast the past
12 months have gone by, and how much I underestimated the workload for the job.
Not that I am complaining in the least! They say that if you are doing a labor of love,
you will lose track of time. This is so very true. While there have been ups and downs,
the accomplishments that DSC has achieved and the milestones we have hit make me so
proud and also so grateful to be of service to this organization.
I will write a longer summary of the year behind us for the Game Trails Spring issue,
but when I start counting all the things I love about this club, and all of those milestones,
I run out of fingers and toes. There was the incredible news that DSC was accepted as a
member of the IUCN and all that means on the international conservation level. And
there was the way we rallied when the lion controversy began − first with the social
media phenomenon of the lion who shall remain unnamed to the more serious issues
of uplisting and restrictions on lion hunting. Closer to home, we saw a strong rise in
membership that puts us closer to 6,000 members, and the continued strong support of
our volunteers. We broke all kinds of records at the convention and held our own while
oil prices went down.
That is just the beginning of the list, and I’m sure as I leave office, it won’t be the end
of accomplishments that your Board of Directors and Officers will make happen. This
has been the opportunity of a lifetime, and I very much want to thank those who really
matter. Without our exhibitors, our staff and volunteers, there would be no need for a
board or a convention. As I said before, you showed up and you made a difference for
wildlife and wildlife habitat, and for our future generations of hunters. Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.

GOABC Commits $250,000 To
Wildlife Stewardship Partner Program
Hunters, however, are united in their commitment to
sustainable, science-based wildlife management for the benefit
of wildlife. Hunting is an important part of the social fabric
and economy of rural communities, and hunters do not only
hunt for the benefit of organic, healthy meat, they hunt for the
social, recreational and spiritual aspects of hunting. Hunters are
not mere observers of nature, they are participants. Sustainable
hunting is recognized worldwide as an important tool in wildlife
management, including population control and to reduce
animal habituation.
The GOABC supports sustainable hunting and the public
right to hunt and fish. We endorse the Province of BC’s sciencebased, precautionary, and risk-adverse approach to wildlife
harvest, and its commitment to conservation, respect for First
Nations harvest needs, and the Public Right to Hunt and Fish.
We continue to support the ethical and sustainable harvest of all
big game species, including grizzly bear hunting and predator
control programs British Columbia.
Hunting enjoys strong support and wide ranging acceptance
due to the passion and stringent ethical standards amongst
hunters. A recent Insights West poll reported 72-80 percent of
British Columbians support hunting for sustenance reasons. The
fair chase hunting tradition is strong, united and here to stay.
This initiative is another example of hunters giving back to
benefit wildlife. The Wildlife Stewardship Partner Program
(WSPP) is designed to enhance partnerships between
hunters, First Nations and others who care about wildlife.
WSPP funds can be used as seed dollars to leverage larger
projects, professional fees to design projects for submission
to Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and other funding
organizations, and education programs on the sustainable use of
wildlife. CT

HUNTING FEATURE
“Mr. First Day” on Moose
BY DAVE PRICE, DSC LIFE MEMBER
I
was sitting by the fireplace on a snowy Saturday morning
reading the newspaper and watching ESPN’s “Celebrity
Outdoors” TV show. The program featured Dickie Betts
of the Allman Brothers Band bowhunting for moose with
Horace Lane’s RiverRun Outfitting and Tours in Lewisporte,
Newfoundland. I was intrigued – I’d never hunted moose
in Canada, which was on my to do list, and I’d spent a fair
amount of time transiting through Newfoundland as a
U.S. Air Force pilot deploying to and from Europe and the
Middle East. I loved the island, its people and culture and
I wanted to go back for a visit. The show featured Betts,
guided by Horace Lane, with Betts taking a great bull moose
with his long bow. At the end of the show, I scribbled down
Lane’s address and wrote him a letter inquiring about
available hunts.
Several weeks later, I got a letter from Lane inviting me
to hunt moose in Newfoundland in October. I read all of
the material I could find on Newfoundland and on moose
hunting in the province. I had hunted moose while stationed
with the Air Force in Alaska, but my Alaskan hunt was a
brief affair – I took a 2.5 year old bull with small antlers, but I
was looking for a large, mature bull in Newfoundland.
Moose were introduced to Newfoundland early in
the 20th century, and from a small initial stocking, they
flourished in the bogs and woodlands of the island. Lane
had a large hunting area south of Gander and Lewisporte
where the terrain varied from swampy bogs to rolling
hills and mountainous terrain surrounding Mt. Peyton.
Our objective for the week was to “push the bush” as the
Newfies say and cover as much ground as possible through
rough, wet terrain. The rut can make the bulls less wary
– sometimes even foolhardy – which can present shot
opportunities at any time. I was scheduled to hunt the rut
and with a little luck, I hoped to find a mature bull.
I arrived in Gander on a beautiful fall day and got settled
into Lane’s Bear’s Den Lodge. We checked our weapons and
took a long walk around the beaver pond in front of the
lodge – it was 80 degrees and much too warm for moose
to be very active. If the weather didn’t cool off, it would be
a long week. We checked the long range weather forecast
which called for rain and lower temperatures with a few
snow flurries by the week’s end. Horace introduced us to our
guides and I was teamed up with a tall, rangy woodsman
named Mike O’Connell who had been a logger and trapper
before coming to work for RiverRun. As we sized each other
up, Mike looked over at me and said rapidly, “Hey boy! Ya
wanna go hunt, eh?”
I said, “Mike, do you hear how slow I’m talking? That’s
also how fast I listen!”
He said, “That’s OK, mate… I can’t understand you
either!” Such was my introduction to Newfie slang. Mike
Photo courtesy of Tom Koerner, USFWS
outlined our hunting plan for the week and I imagined that it would
be a real test of endurance to keep up with him during the week.
The next morning dawned rainy and cold, and we got under
way well before first light. After a long ride in Mike’s truck, we
dismounted and saddled up on ATVs for a 10-mile ride down an
obscure logging road. When the road ran out, we got off and went
the rest of the way on foot. I tucked in trail behind my guide as we
followed game trails into the swamp. Within 10 minutes, Mike was
bent over the trail looking intently at a muddy puddle of water. He
said, “Moose tracks – a bull and a cow.” Five minutes later, he pointed
at a stand of trees and said, “Moose! You wanna shoot that one, eh?”
I didn’t see the moose until he and the cow walked off through the
trees. That pattern repeated itself for the next hour and four more
moose sightings – all of the bulls were immature youngsters. Mike
and I were looking for a larger, mature bull.
Five minutes later, Mike froze in his tracks pointing at a very large
moose print in the muddy bog. He said, “Now that’s a big moose,
mate! Let’s follow the tracks and see where he is.” Ten minutes of
walking on the trampoline-like tundra brought us to a small clearing
below a tree covered hill. We both saw the moose at the same time
as he finished up servicing the cow that accompanied him. He stood
facing us and Mike told me to step up to a dead fall tree in front of us
and prepare to shoot as soon as the bull showed us his shoulder. When
I stepped forward, the tundra gave way and I splashed into waist deep
water. Fortunately, I came to rest across the log in perfect shooting
position. The bull reacted to my splashing plunge and turned showing
me his right front shoulder. If I was careful, I could slip a bullet in
front of his shoulder and take out both lungs, but I didn’t have much
time so I squeezed the trigger. When I got the rifle controlled after
the recoil, both moose were gone. I extracted myself from the muddy
bog and made my way to the hill where the bull once stood. We saw a
spruce tree shaking 40 yards away and saw our moose leaning against
the trunk. He was dead by the time we got to him.
BIGGAME.ORG
When we walked up to the moose, I couldn’t believe how
big he was. His antlers measured 42 inches and he was seven
feet tall at the shoulder which was small by Alaskan moose
standards, but he was the largest animal I’d ever shot. We
congratulated each other, took trophy photos and spent the
rest of the day skinning, quartering, boning and packing the
meat and antlers out to the road. We arrived at the lodge
well after dark looking like two exhausted kids who’d been
in a mud fight. After supper, I turned in and slept like a rock
until breakfast the next morning. My first Canadian moose
hunt was in the books and I hoped it wouldn’t be my last. I
spent the rest of the week doing chores around the lodge and
flyfishing for brook trout in the beaver pond until it was time
to return to the U.S.
Horace Lane ran a great hunting camp. He and his head
guide, Gonzo Gillingham, built the Bear’s Den Lodge on
the shore of a larger beaver pond. The lodge was spacious,
warm and comfortable with all of the necessary amenities
to support hunters. On my first visit, he hired a chef from
St. John, Newfoundland to prepare our meals and his guides
were all experienced hunters and terrific woodsmen who
took care of their hunters and put them on game. I was
inspired to hunt in Newfoundland by watching Dickie Betts
harvest a huge bull on camera for ESPN – it took Betts a week
to harvest his bull. I was proud and humble to have killed my
first trophy bull moose on the first day of my hunt, but I had
a lot of help!
I didn’t know it at the time, but my moose hunt in
October 1994 was the first leg of my quest to complete the
Newfie slam – taking a moose, woodland caribou and black
bear. It would take me seven years and three more trips to
Newfoundland to finish the job... CT

CHAPTER NETWORK
Just Getting Started
S
ince the groundbreaking news that DSC is forming
chapters, it has been a whirlwind of activity ever since. The
convention was especially enlightening with more than a dozen
solid inquiries regarding the formation of a local chapter. These
inquiries are coming from not only Texas, but many other
areas around North America. I believe the timing is right, and
I do believe we have a fabulous program for those who want to
form a DSC Chapter in their area. We are looking for regionally
based, solid chapters who will support and promote DSC’s
mission, coupled with their own chapter mission. DSC chapters
can direct the spending of 95 percent of the money they raise!
Two chapters are currently on board. Both the Lubbock and
the Northeast chapters held their inaugural banquets in March.
These special banquets feature a marvelous meal, and the
BY KIM RAPPLEYE, DSC CHAPTER DEVELOPMENT
opportunity to purchase or win amazing hunts, guns, and other
outdoor-related trips and merchandise via live auction, silent
auction, raffles, and games. From the time you enter the room
until you leave, you are treated to an amazing night of fun,
comraderie, and fundraising.
I couldn’t be happier as I work with these two chapters, and
begin the process of adding more along the way. The passion
for the mission, the commitment to the team, and the desire
to “give back” are what makes the members of each chapter so
special.
If you would like to be a part of our amazing chapter
network, please contact me for further details. I will be more
than happy to answer questions and assist you in moving
forward. CT

DSC FOUNDATION
The Support is Growing
T
he announcement of the formation of the DSC Foundation
was met with a flood of support and enthusiasm from the
hunting community. If you have been paying attention over
the past several years, you have sensed a growing desire and
increasingly vocal call for leaders to re-commit and re-focus
efforts to promote and protect our hunting heritage and to
re-assert our claim to the title and heritage of “conservationist.”
The tremendous feedback we received following the public
rollout of the Foundation tells us our goal and mission clearly
resonates with the hunting community.
We have received hundreds of calls, emails and messages
asking how people can support the mission and how they can
support specific projects and programs that fall within the
mission of the Foundation. While we are awaiting approval of
tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, we are
BY RICHARD CHEATHAM, DSC FOUNDATION CHAIR
soliciting grant requests and putting into place the mechanisms
to allow us to develop projects and initiatives and to put as
much money into the projects as is possible, while keeping
expenses to a minimum. We will publicize the programs we
fund so that you will know where your donations are going and
the specific conservation, education and advocacy causes that
are the beneficiaries of your gifts.
We in the hunting community undoubtedly face many
challenges in the coming months and years, and it is up to the
sportsmen and sportswomen of America to rise up and address
those challenges boldly and effectively. We can no longer
marginalize or dismiss the threats. We can no longer wait for
the inevitable attacks and then play defense.
We hope you agree, and we hope you will support the efforts
of DSC Foundation. CT

HUNTING MOMENTS
Forever Etched in My Hunter’s Soul
BY KEN HEARD, DSC LIFE MEMBER
The Flush
Editor’s note:
Many times, as we
hunt and experience
the outdoors, various
things will happen –
maybe not anything that
adds up to a complete
narrative for publication,
but moments that are
frozen in time and stay
forever in the hunter’s
mind. Author Ken Heard
has captured some of
these. If you have a
brief hunting memory
you would like to share,
please send it along to
[email protected].
Back in the day, I hunted pheasants
in the Texas Panhandle with just a few
buddies. We didn’t have enough hunters
to set up lines and drive the pheasants out
of the corn stubble, nor any far-ranging
pointers to hunt the big expanses of CRP
land, so we had to improvise. We’d drive
our pick-up truck to the odd fence row
or irrigation pivot – weed-choked places
that John Deere tractors and combines
couldn’t reach. We’d drop off a couple of
hunters, set up a blocker and basically
surround the place as best we could. Then
we’d converge on the center of our chosen
spot. The hunting was best in the snow
since you could kind of see the pheasants
running ahead of you before they got too
nervous and took to the air. I’ll always
remember the cackling sound and the
bright fall colors of the roosters as they
burst into the deep blue Texas sky right
below your feet, launching themselves
in a desperate bid to out-fly your shot.
Sometimes they made it, sometimes they
didn’t. But at times, it really didn’t matter.
The Eye of the Croc
tall grass – this was his vantage point to
peer down the game trail − the one that
we were walking on. As I watched him
through my low-powered riflescope, I
saw his reptilian eye open slowly, look
around, and then close. That croc was
switched on, alertly waiting on his prey
even though appearing to be dozing. I
picked out a spot about a hand’s width
behind his eye where I judged his brain
to be and shot him with a solid from my
.375H&H. His head and long thick tail
arched high into the air then slammed
back down, thrashing the tall grass all
around him. A close-quarters affair
indeed.
The View from a Plateau
We were hunting bezoar ibex in
Turkey. One afternoon, we belly-crawled
to the edge of a high plateau. The bright
afternoon sun at our backs made the
white rocks stand out in stark relief, but
cast the terrain below us in deep shadow.
Hanging over the edge, we peered
straight down careful to hold tight to our
binoculars lest they fall into space. Below
us, we picked out six or seven mature
The croc had left the protective
cover around the pond to hunt. He was
probably looking for some game trail in
order to ambush an impala or bushbuck
as it came in to water. We’d been slowly
following the spoor of the croc for some
time. Even a blind man could follow that
spoor − big splayed tracks, large sweeping
tail marks in the dirt. I guessed that this
was not going to be the long careful
shot at a golf ball-sized brain that I had
been preparing for. Rather, it would be a
close-quarters affair that might require
some quick shooting. My PH had a sixth
sense that my croc was just up ahead so
he and I went on alone, treading as softly
as we could. Peering over a bush, about
10 yards ahead, we spotted a patch of his
dark green head showing through the
One-Day Elephant Hunter
bezoar ibex males. Their black markings
against their grey coats stood in muted
contrast to the dark browns of the
females. The males milled about under
the trees, occasionally stepping out into
the open. And when they did, the sight
of their curved black horns arching
gracefully, majestically over their backs
was a sight to behold. Then, as the
Muslim call to prayer from the mosques
below echoed mournfully across the
plains before us. This surreal experience
was forever etched in my hunter’s soul.
BIGGAME.ORG I was an elephant hunter for one day. For some Zimbabwean festival, National Parks
wanted a tuskless elephant cow to feed a local village. I was not successful, some other
hunter was, so we went back to hunting buffalo the next day. But I’ll always remember
tracking a herd of cows and calves through the thick jess, trying to sort out if any of
the cows were tuskless and without a calf. As the herd reached a large open clearing,
we thought we saw a tuskless with no calf, but we couldn’t be sure as the grass was tall
enough to hide the little guys. Up ahead, we spotted a small hill that would give us
a vantage point from which to look down into the grass to spot the calves. The herd
looked to be headed for the far side of the hill, the set-up and wind felt perfect. We had
a plan, so we trotted off. Almost at the top, I somehow wound up at the front of our
small group, just two steps in front my PH.
Suddenly, a cow elephant appeared moving across the top of the hill. I guess the
elephants weren’t following the “far side of the hill” part of the plan. The cow stopped
midway across and spun around to face us. Her ears flared out. She stared down the
hill at us, giving us an angry stare and a startled shriek. Then we saw her calf dart
between her legs. This was not good. We were really close, danger-close. She had the
elevation on us and knew we were there. If she came for us and we had to shoot her,
there was a good chance she’d crash down the hill upon us and someone would get
hurt. Before I could get my gun up, my PH reached out and grabbed me by the back
of the shirt, yanking me down the hill. I was now behind him, giving him a clear
shot with his big .458 Winchester rifle. That was our stand-off, and it was her move.
Thankfully, she made the right choice. CT

RELOADING
The 30-06 in Africa
BY TERRY BLAUWKAMP
W
ith the African hunting season
coming on soon, I thought of this
old story I had about what gun to take on
a plains game trip.
It actually started way back in 1960
with an article by a Dr. Wendell G. Swank
from Michigan State College that was
in the Sports Afield Gun Annual. He and
a fellow doctor took their old pre-64
Winchester M 70 .30-06 Springfield’s with
Sierra bullets to Uganda to harvest game
for research.
They did a fantastic job of taking
pictures of the bullets recovered and
details of each bullet’s performance. Not
only did they take plains game normally
associated with the .30-06 Springfield, but
also took hippopotamus, lion and even a
Cape buffalo.
That article intrigued me so much
that I still have an original copy and
it prompted me to research the .30-06
Springfield performance ever since.
My first deer rifle was lever action
.30-30 Winchester, but my second
was a Remington pump action .30-06
Springfield. I don’t think that in the past
50-plus years, there has ever been a time
that I did not have at least one or two .3006 Springfield rifles around.
At first, I used factory Remington
180-grain RN Core Lokts and all the deer
I shot fell over just fine. Then, as time
marched on, I took up reloading and
since then have taken deer, elk, moose,
caribou, antelope and mountain goat in
North America with various bullets.
I started out using the same 180-grain
Sierra bullets that Dr. Swank used and
eventually tried just about every bullet
and powder combo I could come up with
and eventually ended up using mostly
180-grain Nosler Partitions.
During the next 20-plus years, I took
the .30-06 Springfield to Africa with
me several times as it was my intention
to field-test as many bullets as I could,
and the following bullets were tested the
there:
24 | D A L L A S S A F A R I C L U B N E W S 180 gr Hornady Spire Point BT
180 gr Speer Hot Core
190 gr Hornady Spire Point BT
180 gr Speer SP BT
220 gr Hornady RN
220 gr Sierra RN
180 gr Hornady Spire Point
165 gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw
180 gr Nosler Partition
180 gr Winchester Fail Safe
180 gr Remington RN Core Lokt
150 gr Barnes TSX & TTSX
180 gr Speer Deep Curl
165 gr Winchester Fail Safe
180 gr Nosler AccuBond
180 gr Federal Fusion
180 gr Federal Tipped TBBC
180 gr Sierra SP BT & Flat Base.
Each of the above mentioned bullets
has its own distinctive characteristic
performance. The typical soft point
bullets all seem to be as lethal as the
next, but the premium bonded core
or monolithic bullets give much more
dependable penetration.
On my most recent trip, I shot six
blesboks with six different bullets and
found that it made no difference at all.
Each was shot about the same distance,
and they were all about the same
broadside lung shots. Every bullet gave
complete penetration, and each animal
rarely went more than a few yards
before going down.
If you were to make me choose any
one of the “common” lead cup and core
bullets to use from now on, my choice
is surely going to surprise you as I’d
take the 220-grain Nosler Partition as
my first choice and the 220-grain Sierra
RN next.
Those two bullets will almost always
penetrate completely and leave a nice
exit hole. They will not give you those
BIGGAME.ORG
instant kills of high speed bullets, and seldom will the
animals drop at the shot, but they will only go a few yards
before expiring.
I can almost see the readers jumping up and down
about the “rainbow” trajectory of those bullets. With the
220-grain Partition at 2,400 fps muzzle zeroed 2.9 inches
high at 100 yards, it is then dead on at 200 yards.
The 180-grain Partition at 2,700 fps zeroed 2 inches
high at 100 yards is dead on at 200 yards, so no big deal.
I’m being conservative on my 220 grain velocities at
2,400 fps as the Nosler Reloading Guide #4 page 329
shows loads up to 2,602 fps. For most shooters, 200 yards
is plenty far to shoot, and if you can crawl up to 200, you
will never know the difference in trajectory, but you will
see a difference in performance on the game as those 220
grain bullets really put the hammer down.
I remember an outfitter in Zimbabwe many years ago
took home some 220-grain Sierra RN bullets to try. When
I met up with him the next year, he said they were the
most dependable bullet in the .30-06 Springfield he had
ever used.
As you can well imagine, this whole bullet subject can
be cussed and discussed much like religion and politics
long into the night, but the truth will end up being that
the .30-06 Springfield with well-placed shots, will take on
any plains game Africa has to offer.
Another nice thing about the .30-06 Springfield is that
virtually anywhere in the world you go, and should you
lose your luggage and ammo, you can usually scare up a
box of ammo somewhere. It may not be your first choice
of brand or bullet but it beats having none at all.
Not having or being able to find ammo is my number
one contention with the new RUM and WSM cartridges.
Unless the fellow that hunted there ahead of you left his
ammo, you don’t have a snowball’s chance of buying any
abroad.
We have seen great advances in bullet construction and
technology with John Nosler’s first Partition bullets all the
way thru the Jack Carter’s Trophy Bonded Bear Claws,
and now unto the Hornady GMX and Barnes TSX lead
free bullets.
As usually, it all boils down to bullet placement. If you
do your job the old “Ought Six” will do its job. CT
