#THD-01
Archery Nilgai Hunt, for TWO
Hunters, Texas
(SCI Bowhunter Chapter Item)
The famous King Ranch stepped to the plate at the request of
Todd Brady, a past chapter board member, and has provided
an outstanding opportunity to bowhunt the highly soughtafter nilgai. This large Asian antelope is also referred to as the
“blue bull,” and is native to India, Pakistan and Nepal. Large
bulls often weigh close to 600 pounds, and besides making
for a fun and challenging hunt, the meat is often noted as
being the best wild game many hunters have ever tasted.
These hunts are typically done from ladder stands, over
fence crossings and waterholes. If the winds are up, though,
you can do some stalk hunting through the thick oak forests.
Both hunters should plan to arrive on a weekday, with time to
hunt that afternoon. They will hunt the next two full days, and
end after the morning hunt on the fourth day. Included are
lodging, guide, and one nilgai for each hunter. Not included
are a cook ($250/day), food, and gratuity. However, if you
want to do the cooking yourself, that is acceptable.
Lodging is “bunkhouse style,” and very comfortable. The
guides will field dress the animals and help you get them to a
processor, or help you quarter them up for the ice chests you
provide. Extra hunters on trip are welcome at $1800 each,
with no more than four total for the trip. Extra nilgai, above
the two included, are $1,000 per bull and $300 per cow. Hogs
and javelina are available for $150 each, and turkeys are $275
each, if in season. This hunt may be taken in October 2012
or March-May 2013.

Thompson Long Range Shooting
Course For THREE People
We are going to auction these two items separately, but
first we will do one that we are calling Item A. The high
bidder will get first right of refusal to buy Item B at the
same high bid price. If the high bidder only wants one
item, the immediate underbidder will be given first right
of refusal to buy Item B at the high bid. If the underbidder
chooses not to exercise this option, then we will auction
item #B anew. It might be a good idea for some friends to
get prepared for this great pair of auction items.
Once again, we have this tremendous shooting course
offering from Mark Thompson of Thompson Shooting
Systems. Mark has done seminars at some of our
past conventions; many of our members have not only
become familiar with Mark through those seminars, but
have taken his course as well. A group from the GSCO
office staff took his course recently. The staff simply
cannot say enough good things about it. Just think of
it: shooting an 8” group or less, at 1,000 yards or more.
It is possible, and Mark can show you how! You should
seriously consider bidding on this course for three people.
BONUS: Additional shooters can be added to this group
for a discounted price of $1,000 each. Mark knows how to
deal with new shooters as well as old, hard-headed ones.
When the group of four from the GSCO office took the
course, the one member who had shot the least ended up
shooting the best group of all. Guess what? The so-called
old pro, Dennis Campbell, shot the worst group of all,
but still plenty good enough to take a deer-sized animal at
1,000 yards. This course is for everyone, and will improve
anyone’s shooting ability. Get a couple of friends and
consider bidding as a group for this great item! Heck, just
buy it and take a couple of friends or family along!

Exotics Hunt, Texas
SCI Bowhunter Chapter founding president Ricardo
Longoria came forward in support of the chapter by
offering this fully guided exotic hunt in Medina County,
Texas. It will be for three days and four nights, for one
hunter and one non-hunter. The high bidder will be able
to use a rifle or a bow for this hunt. This ranch is gamerich, and one can expect to harvest exceptional trophies.
Included is lodging at a comfortable local motel, all
meals, transportation to and from San Antonio and the
ranch, three days of guiding, field care, and trophy fees
for one blackbuck, one trophy red sheep and one trophy
addax. Also included is delivery of animals to a local
taxidermist for trophy prep and shipping. Not included
are Texas hunting license, trophy prep, packing, shipping
and gratuities. The hunt can be taken any open dates in

Aoudad Sheep Hunt, Texas
This free range West Texas aoudad hunt is fully donated
by Rowdy McBride. Rowdy has been one of GSCO’s
greatest supporters, having donated hunts for our
auctions for several years. Rowdy has also been an
exhibitor at every one of our conventions to date. This
hunt is for three to five days, but Rowdy says three days
will usually be sufficient, as “everybody gets one.” As
stated, it will be completely free range, and everything is
included upon arrival at the specific ranch for the hunt.
This hunt may be taken in 2012 or 2013. Accommodations
will be in the cabin on the ranch, where Rowdy and a
cook do a fine job of making you very comfortable.
The aoudads from this ranch qualify for the Ovis World
Slam®. Our thanks go out to Rowdy for this generous full
donation.

Archery Antelope Hunt, Wyoming
Cole Benton of Grizzly Outfitters is providing this
great three-day Wyoming archery hunt. Several GSCO
members have taken this hunt with Cole. In 2010 alone,
Stacee Frost, Sara Brandenburg and GSCO’s own
Cameron Mitchell all took fine antelope with Cole. In
fact, Cameron’s pronghorn became the “Closing Shot”
photo in the Fall/Winter 2010 issue of our SUPER SLAM
publication. You also see Stacee here, who is on the SCI
Bowhunter Chapter board. The most productive method
is to hunt the waterholes and all report that this worked
very well.
BONUS: Cole says the high bidder can take a second
buck antelope for a trophy fee of $1,500. This bonus sure
would give the high bidder a chance to take a trophy
and then “wait out” the hordes of waterhole bucks, while
looking for that “buck of a lifetime.”
Antelope permits must be applied for by the high bidder,
but they have been easy to obtain in Cole’s area. Extra
hunters are welcome at the regular price and non-hunters
at $300 each for the three days. Our appreciation goes
out to Cole for his continued support of GSCO. This is a
full donation.

Retreat at Thunder Ridge, Colorado
SCI Bowhunter Chapter president Lew Webb and his wife Laura are offering this fantastic mini-vacation for up to 10
guests. This five-day, four-night trip would be perfect for a small family reunion, couples’ getaway, or a girls’ “out-oftowner.” The Retreat at Thunder Ridge is a spectacular 14,000-square-foot log lodge nestled high in the beautiful Rocky
Mountains of southwestern Colorado. It sits on 172 acres of meadows, with spruce, pine and aspen forest. Located just
14 miles northwest of the old mining town of Durango, it is easy to get to. Designed, owned and operated by Lew & Laura
Webb, Thunder Ridge has eight guest rooms, designed to accommodate a variety of group configurations. Six of the eight
beautifully decorated and spacious rooms have a king bed, plus a bunk, so depending on the group makeup, each can
very comfortably serve four guests. Two rooms have only a king bed. Each of the eight rooms has its own nicely appointed
bathroom with a shower, and all but two have an outside covered deck.
The lodge has wonderful indoor “common areas” and sitting in front of a crackling fire in the evenings is just what the
doctor ordered! The large game room has a piano, pool table, large felt game table, checkers, chess and backgammon
boards, big screen TV and library. The “Cowboy Bar” is perfect for just hanging out to talk. The lodge is also equipped with
high-speed wireless for your laptop. Outside is a beautiful pool (rare at 8,000 feet!) with lots of room on the deck to lounge
in the sun on one of many chaise lounges or patio chairs. The pool is a “sport” type, so there is a basketball hoop and
volleyball net available for those inter-group “rivalries” to be worked out! You may also enjoy the covered hot tub that looks
out over the pasture in front of the lodge, particularly enjoyable when it is snowing. The large lower level deck overlooks
the horseshoe pit, as well as the pasture and forest beyond.
This package includes lodging for up to 10 guests, one dinner prepared and served by your hosts, Lew & Laura, plus drinks
and snacks while you’re visiting. You may also upgrade to a “full service” stay, add guests in excess of 10, or nights in
excess of four. Please contact Lew for the additional costs. As a guideline, full service guests (includes three full meals per
day, prepared fresh and served) are $150 per day.

Archery Pronghorn Hunt
for TWO Hunters, Nebraska
Craig Kjerstad of Get R Done Outfitters in northwestern Nebraska, is one of the best kept secrets in America for trophy
class antelope. He is offering this three-day archery hunt, for TWO hunters as his continuing commitment to support Safari
Club, and in particular its new Bowhunter Chapter. Craig is a pronghorn specialist, and loves to put bowhunters on big
goats! Hunting will take place primarily from ground blinds (sitting over waterholes or alfalfa fields) on over 16,000 acres
of private land, but could include some decoying, or stalking. The average shot distance is 30 yards. Average score of
antelope taken the last three years is well over the Pope & Young minimum, with some Boone & Crockett bucks taken
as well. Pronghorns in the area typically carry heavy horns with deep hooks. Craig comments, “If a bowhunter doesn’t
take a record class buck, it typically means they got anxious and shot the first buck that came in, or they missed!” Shot
opportunities during 2009-10 were 100%, with this last year being 95% due to some very inclement weather. Nebraska
archery antelope tags are over the counter, but in order to rifle hunt antelope you must be a resident of Nebraska, and it is
now taking seven years to draw a rifle tag. This has dramatically increased the number of mature antelope for bowhunters!
This hunt includes motel accommodations, guiding, transportation back and forth to the ranch from your motel, breakfast,
lunch and dinner, and skinning and quartering of game. Accommodations will be one room, double occupancy, at the
Motel 6 in Chadron, Nebraska, which includes two queen beds, microwave, fridge, flat screen TV, indoor pool and hot tub.
Not included are permits, fees, stamps, taxes, meat processing, meat shipping, or taxidermy. Non-hunters are welcome at
$100 per day. This hunt may be taken during the 2012 or 2013 seasons.

$5000 Taxidermy Credit
We are so pleased to have Jonas Brothers Taxidermy of
Colorado on board again for 2012. Our super-supportive
member Gary Hansen introduced this company to us,
and a great relationship has come of that introduction.
Not only is Jonas Brothers of Colorado an exhibitor, but
a Corporate Sponsor for this year’s convention as well.
The third tier of our relationship is multiple taxidermy
donations. This is one of three you will see on our
auctions. It is pretty simple, as a $5000 credit against any
type work Jonas does. We have chosen a sheep diorama
with a wolf to illustrate this donation, and of course the
credit could go against something such as that. Naturally,
life size mounts or shoulder mounts would be available
too. There is no restriction on the way you could use your
credit with this fine company. Go by their booth and visit,
and let them know your appreciation for their support.

Sitatunga Hunt, Zambia
Charlie & Jo Harvey of Shiwa Ng’andu Estates and
Zambia Hunting Expeditions have graciously donated
this exceptional hunting opportunity. The Zambezi
sitatunga is one of the most highly sought-after trophies
in Africa. The beautiful spiral horns and distinctive facial
markings are reminiscent of the mountain nyala. The 10day hunt for the sitatunga is only the beginning at Shiwa
Ng’andu, as the other plains game hunting is exceptional,
and the accommodations and grounds of the estate are
quite simply spectacular. This hunt is for one hunter and
one non-hunter, and can be with any weapon (not just a
bow). Since Shiwa Ng’andu harvests only three sitatunga
per year, this is quite an amazing donation! In the last few
years, bulls have regularly been taken near or over 30”.
This hunt includes daily fees for one hunter and one nonhunter, and accommodations at the legendary Shiwa
Ng’andu Estate. It also includes the $10,500 trophy fee
for the sitatunga. The high bidder is required to take at
least $10,000 in additional game during the 10-day hunt,
but with the exceptional variety and quality of what is
available, you will probably want to take more than that.
Black lechwe may be hunted at an additional cost, as
some flying is required to reach the Bangweulu Swamp.
This package does not include permits, government
fees, dipping, packing, shipping, taxidermy and airport
transfers. This hunt can be taken in either 2012 or 2013,
with the best hunting dates being around October.

Whitetail Deer Hunt, Alabama
Dennis Campbell has once again donated a
whitetail deer hunt. This will be for five days during
the peak of the Alabama rut. Accommodations will
be at Dennis’s Magnolia Lodge (10 bedrooms, 4
baths). The hunt is all-inclusive except the Alabama
hunting license (approximately $175). Pickup and
return at the Birmingham International Airport are
also included. The hunt will be on 5,000 acres of
private land managed over 20 years for trophy
quality. The high bidder will have their choice of five
days between December 26, 2012, and January 10,
2013. The hunt can be postponed to the following
season if necessary.
Again, this is the ideal time to have an opportunity at a true free-range trophy Alabama whitetail. If the high bidder is
successful on a buck early, a second or third may be taken on a trophy fee only basis of $1,500. Two does will be allowed
for this hunt as well. One of the photos you see here is of GSCO member Jay Furney, who was the high bidder for this hunt
in 2010 (Jay is in the red shirt). The other is a recent 2011-12 trophy taken by GSCO’s own Harvey Trueblood.

There is no more beautiful rifle than the Steyr

different arms from around the world, but their major

rifle is topped with a Swarovski 3-12 x 50 scope.
It was professionally installed by their in-house
gunsmith using Talley Premium scope mounts. The caliber for this rifle is the popular .270 Win. The overall length of this fine
firearm is only 41.7”, and its weight without the scope is a mere 7.3 lbs. The European walnut stock adds to the beauty of
this rifle. Our thanks go out to Steyr Arms Inc. USA for their extreme support of GSCO.

Trophy Elk Hunt for TWO Hunters, Nevada
Jim Boyer, founding treasurer of the Bowhunter Chapter, and Steve Sixberry have personally donated this 10-day trophy
elk hunt for TWO hunters in northern Nevada’s Pequop Nature Conservancy and surrounding areas. This hunt is to
be scheduled for 2013 or 2014. It is a perfect parent/child or husband/wife hunt for huge free-range bull elk. The hunt
includes excellent accommodations, fantastic meals, one landowner elk tag and an incredible hunting adventure! It is a
horseback and foot hunt in Nevada’s GMAs #077, #076, #079 & #081, and offers the hunters a realistic opportunity to
harvest an outstanding trophy bull elk, with a 400+ bull not being unrealistic. You cannot buy this hunt from an outfitter,
nor will you find it anywhere else but at this GSCO event. This is not a guided or outfitted hunt, but rather a once-in-alifetime opportunity for a personalized trip with the landowners, both of whom are excellent elk hunters and long-time SCI
supporters. The landowner elk tag alone is worth $12,000.
Included are all hunting-related services once you arrive at the ranch, one Nevada landowner elk tag, and the outstanding
hospitality and local knowledge of the two landowners. Not included is a Nevada elk tag for the second hunter. The
second hunter may either draw in the state lottery, or purchase a landowner permit. Also not included are meat and trophy
processing, shipping after the field care is done, and transportation to and from the Elko, Nevada area (70 miles away). To
be completely clear about the second hunter’s drawing possibilities, and for any other information, it might be a good idea
to contact Jim Boyer at either of the email addresses below. We have put a value of $25,000+. However, there is no way
to truly value this opportunity since it is not available on the market.

Eland Hunt for TWO Hunters, Namibia
Bennie & Doreen Boshoff of Duiker Safaris Namibia have
offered this five-day safari for TWO hunters. Hunters have their
choice of weapon, either bow or rifle. One hunter may take a
trophy bull eland, and the other hunter may take a non-trophy bull
eland. This safari is 2 x 1, and would be perfect for a parent/child
or husband/wife type adventure. The hunt can be upgraded to
include many other species on this beautiful 70,000-acre ranch.
Available are black and blue wildebeest, kudu, gemsbok, red
hartebeest, Burchell’s zebra, steenbok, waterbuck, giraffe and
more. A very special upgrade is also available, and that is the
opportunity to hunt Hartmann’s mountain zebra! Hunting may be
conducted from permanent ground blinds, elevated stands, and of
course by spot and stalk. Bennie Boshoff will be the PH, and he is
known for his integrity and hunting ethics. He is a true professional
and does an impressive job. Accommodations will be individual
bungalows, which are well crafted and beautifully decorated,
situated in a fenced compound surrounding the Boshoff family
home. The grounds, including a pool, are beautifully maintained,
and comfortable to lounge in when you’re not in the field. Not to
be discounted are the incredible meals you will enjoy during your
safari, lovingly prepared by Doreen Boshoff.
This package includes all accommodations during the hunt,
fantastic home cooked meals, drinks, laundry services, PH and
staff, field preparation of all trophies and all permits. Not included
are tips and gratuities, airport transfers, taxidermy, dipping,
packing, shipping, accommodations before and after the safari,
sightseeing activities, VAT and other taxes and any hunt upgrades.
This safari may be taken during the 2012 or 2013 seasons. SCI

Zoological Artwork
Carl Pepi and Jonas Brothers Studio of New York

zoological artwork. That is exactly what this donation is
for, but there is more! They currently do animals such as
cape buffalo, deer, moose, caribou, elk and more, and
the high bidder can have their choice of any of those.
However, Carl says he will design a new piece just for
you if none of these is what you desire. Matter of fact, in
2011 he did design both a fallow deer and Russian wild
boar for GSCO executive director Dennis Campbell. You
see those new pieces here as displayed in the GSCO
museum. Many times a “European mount” is necessary
or desired. The skull of a European mount is okay, but
Jonas Brothers’s zoological art is certainly a tremendous
upgrade. Our thanks go out to this fine taxidermy
operation for this full donation. Furthermore, the Pepis

Archery or Rifle Buffalo Hunt,

This incredible “Whack ‘Em & Stack ‘Em Special” from
Greg Pennicott Safaris, has been arranged by world
famous bowhunter Archie Nesbitt. What a fantastic
opportunity to travel to the “Land Down Under,” and get

This is a “cull hunt,” but let us explain. You can take six
(yes, a half dozen!) non-trophy buffalo. The hunt can also
be upgraded to include a trophy class bull if you so desire.
This excellent hunting package also includes the taking of
two wild boar. There will be five full hunting days for the
up to eight trophies. This should be about as much fun as
one could hope to have.
Once you arrive in camp, everything but gratuities, packing
and shipping is included. Not included are the hotel
arrangements before and after the hunt, and the round
trip bush flight from Darwin (it should run approximately
$1,200). This hunt can be taken any time between July
and September 2012, or may be postponed to 2013.

Trophy Mule Deer Hunt, Nevada
Mike Morrison and Humboldt Outfitters have donated
this special trophy rut hunt. This hunt will be for five days
during the last week of the season, which is normally late
October, or into the first week of November. Nevada is well
known for trophy mule deer, and Mike has definitely taken
his share for clients. The name Humboldt Outfitters should
be very familiar, as we will explain later.
The high bidder does have to draw a tag, but with Nevada’s
special outfitter draw, the odds are very high. Past bidders
have had no trouble drawing. In the unlikely event that a tag
is not drawn, the hunt may be postponed to a later year.
Mike will make an application available to the high bidder
when they are available, in order to be sure the deadline for
applying is met. The high bidder should be aware that the
window for applying is critical. Show your support with a
high bid for this quality hunt!
Humboldt Outfitters stands as the longest-running outfitter
donor to GSCO. They began donating hunts to our annual
raffle fundraiser way back before we even participated in
auctions. Then, when we began with auctions in 1996, they
have donated this same hunt every year since. Our thanks
go out to Mike and this fine company.

Diekie Muller Safaris has donated this seven-day cape
buffalo safari in South Africa, and it will be a 1 x 1. Several
other plains game will be available for only the trophy fee,
as this hunt includes the daily rate. Also, a $5,000 credit
toward the buffalo trophy fee is included. (This $5,000
credit must be used for the cape buffalo trophy fee.) The
regular cape buffalo trophy fee is $15,500, so the hunter
will pay only $10,500 after the buffalo is taken. There is
a complete listing of trophy fees on the www.dmsafaris.
com web site.
Included are chalet accommodations, meals, firearm
permits, airport transfers and field prep. Additional
hunters and observers can be accommodated per current
rates. Not included are dipping, packing and shipping of
trophies, gratuities and the balance due on the buffalo
trophy fee. The arrival/departure point is Johannesburg.
This safari may be taken during March-October 2012
only. Unfortunately, there is no alternate year available,
but Diekie will work with you to get your preferred dates.

With so many GSCO members hunting internationally
and being in remote areas in North America too, it is
almost inconceivable to not have an Iridium phone.
An Iridium satellite phone is so dependable and it has
connection in literally any part of the world (pole-to-pole).

Desert Bighorn Sheep Hunt,
Carmen Island, Mexico
GSCO is pleased to announce the availability
for the eighth year at our auction a 10-day, fully
guided trophy desert bighorn hunt on Carmen
Island, South Baja, Mexico. Sergio Jimenez has
been getting some monster rams on Carmen
Island. The photos you see here are of GSCO
members Tom Miranda and Tom Foss. Since
we have invited the SCI Bowhunter Chapter to
participate in the evening’s events, it seemed
only appropriate to use these archery trophies to
illustrate Sergio’s donation. This auction hunt is
one of only two offered each year for TROPHY
Carmen Island rams. Hunts are limited on
Carmen Island, and this is a great way to get in on
such a 100% opportunity. Practically everything
is included upon arrival in Loreto, South Baja,
Mexico. Just as in past years, a non-hunter is
included at no extra charge. The hunt will be for
the 2012-13 season (December-March).
This is a great opportunity to hunt Carmen Island,
get a great trophy desert bighorn sheep, support
conservation, and have great fun doing all three.
The Carmen Island conservation project has been
producing animals for transplants to introduce
and augment desert sheep opportunities in South
Baja, Mexico. This is a great project.
