WHEN A WINNER
IS A LOSER
By Phyllis Elrod
I
enjoy a good hunt, and I think of myself as a pretty
good hunter. But it is the adventure that I love. Since
retirement, my husband involves me on these expeditions
as his partner. We have climbed the New Zealand Alps for
tahr, stalked the elusive mountain zebra in Namibia,
patiently sat scanning for deer in Oklahoma and hunted
wild hogs in Texas, among other adventures.
It’s not often one sees a battle in the wild. One late fall
afternoon offered a front row seat to just such a battle.
Frequently, the winner of a battle is clearly the winner.
But this day, the winner was actually the loser. Let me tell you
the story of my eight point buck.
This hunt took place on the 4-D Ranch. Our friends,
Mr. and Mrs. G. are such great hosts that we look forward
to each invitation. These holidays are as much social as they
are about hunting. We appreciate the quiet, laid-back ranch
life with freedom to enjoy excellent hunting, long walks,
long talks and delicious food with old and new friends.
This particular day we were warmly welcomed and
greeted by our hosts who soon whisked us off to hunt.

As we were escorted to our blinds, I thought about how
much I love this part of the hunt. There was an air of
mystery awaiting me. Whatever happens, I am always
prepared to delight in the beauty all around me. I’m not
demanding. I just hope to see something! On this ranch,
you might see an exotic axis or sika as well as white-tailed
deer, feral hogs, turkey and occasional varmints like
bobcats or coyotes.
This type of “stand sitting” fits my approach for
spending quality time in the outdoors. So, not only did I
grab my coat for the cold autumn night, I also quickly
snatched a book for reading, watercolors for painting,
laptop for writing, and snacks as well as my Seeadler Optik
10 X 42 binocular and my Remington model 722 in a .257
Roberts caliber rifle fitted with an 8X Schmidt & Bender
scope. I was totally set for an enjoyable evening looking out
the windows of my outpost.
After climbing the stairs, I settled into my high stand as
Mr. G. drove away with my husband to another hunting
area some distance away. I chambered three shells, put the
safety on and sat the gun in the corner in readiness for

eptember has always been one of
my favorite months of the year.
Not only do hunting seasons open
in earnest across North America, but
the weather changes as summer slowly
gives way to fall. Around the end of
the month, the days start getting a little
shorter and cold fronts finally begin to
push southward. Something stirs in all
of us to make us a little restless. We turn
back the pages on cherished memories
such as sunflower fields full of doves,
trips to the deer lease, and early bugle
season for elk. Each of us is filled with
anticipation of the experiences that
lie ahead of us in the months to come.
September is a month when traditions
are celebrated, and new ones are made.
September also marks the start of a
new school year and a tradition that
started 31 years ago − DSC’s youth
S.A.F.E.T.Y. Extravaganza. This year’s fall
event will be held on September 21 at
the newly remodeled Greystone Castle
in Mingus, Texas − the site of many

previous events. The event is one of the
signature events held each year by DSC.
It is a time when approximately 125
students from local high schools who
are participating in DEF’s Outdoor
Adventures Education program get a
chance to put into practice the lessons
they have been taught in the classroom.
Students and their parents get to learn
field skills, shoot a shotgun, a .22 rifle, a
.22 handgun, a muzzleloader, and a bow
− some for the first time. This is truly a
life changing experience for many of the
students and their parents and hopefully
the start of a lifelong interest in hunting
and outdoor activities.
For many DSC members,
volunteering at the S.A.F.E.T.Y. events
each year is a tradition. It’s an
unbelievably satisfying and unique
opportunity for our members to mentor
and pass along to these young people
their knowledge and experience. This is
an opportunity that is not to be missed.
Regardless of whether you are a new
member or just have never gotten
around to volunteering for this event, I
strongly urge you to sign up and help.
Thanks in advance to this year’s veteran
tri-chairs Dixie Yeatts, Frank Sweeney
and Lucy Blachly along with DEF
Coordinator Scot McClure on another
exceptional event.

WINNER IS A LOSER
CONT’D FROM PAGE 1
Author with her eight-point "winner" whitetail
game. I familiarized myself with the surroundings. It was
quiet. I noticed the dust covered trees and brush showed
the effect of the recent drought.
I began thinking about the time on another hunt here on
the 4-D Ranch. Just before dusk, some sheep meandered
into view. They were so content that they grazed a while,
rubbed themselves on the legs of my stand, and several
finally settled down for a nap. After snapping some photos,
I realized that this flock was becoming both a nuisance and
a detriment to my hunting success, so I stepped outside my
blind and shooed them away.
Back in the present, I was just getting my computer
ready to write when I saw movement. Sure enough, a nice
six-point buck stepped out of the tree cover from the far
side of the field. I put my computer aside and watched. He
cautiously walked to the area, oblivious to my presence. He
was alone. No other deer were anywhere in view. I sat
absorbed in the scene. I was facing into the setting sun
which reflected on the shimmering surface of his wellpolished antlers. I watched and photographed the deer and
the sunset.

After a few minutes, I noticed movement to my right in
the trees. Another buck ambled into view. This big daddy
had an eight-point crown of antlers. As I snapped photos of
the newly emerging male, he strode from the shadows into
the bright sun now even lower on the horizon. I watched as
the newcomer went directly to the other buck. This second
buck looked like a better trophy. Taking my rifle off safety, I
aimed into the glowing western sky. The light of the bright
sunset was too intense. I knew I couldn’t be precise and
decided that patience would be the key to success in this
dazzling light. So I waited.
Then things got more exciting. Instead of joining the first
buck in browsing, he snorted a challenge and quickly
sprinted straight toward him, and a serious fight broke out!
First, the eight-point buck struck his foe vigorously on his
skull with the full force of his eight points and the speed of
his body. The strength of the blow reverberated through the
air. It took my breath away. Again and again they rammed
each other. First, they lowered their heads, and bowed their
knees. Then, with boundless energy and strength, they
rushed straight into the other one’s dropped head. They
kept butting each other on the head. Their gyrating feet on
the dry ground scattered dust into the air. Over and over,
they hurled their bodies toward each other. As their heads
and antlers met, the crashing echoes caused me to wince.
With each contact, they had begun traveling more to the
right until they finally were in the long shadows of the
brush and trees nearer my stand and away from the bright
sunset.
I cautiously moved to the north window of my hiding
spot. Not wanting to alert them of my presence, I very
slowly slid the pane open. At that point, I took a deep
breath to steady my nerves as well as my trembling arms
and prepared to fire. However the bucks were not finished
with their battle. They rushed again coming together antler
to antler. I hesitated to shoot because the bucks were
moving so rapidly. I remember thinking that the slighter
male was losing and might simply slink away. I feared his
opponent was getting the best of him. But no, he continued
meeting the test. He stood his ground as the contest
continued. The challenger, who was my focus, had his back
toward me. I didn’t want to risk a worthless shot so I waited
hoping the fight would slow down enough that I could
properly aim at my chosen target’s perfect spot. After one
more collision, the eight-point spun around in triumph.
Now, he was looking directly into my gun sights. At this
point, I decided that the battle would now be over one way
or the other. Taking another big breath, I slowly squeezed
the trigger. My eight point buck jumped into the air before
he collapsed on the dry, unyielding earth. The winner went
down with a great thud, only quivering slightly. As the big
buck lay motionless, I saw in the corner of my eye that the
loser had hastily vanished into the brush at the sound of the
rifle crack. I had shot the winner and now I was the winner!

CONVENTION Chair
IT'S HAPPENING!
By Brock Andreola
A
t this writing, dove season is just around the corner, and many hunters
are buying new licenses, cleaning shotguns, and finalizing travel plans
for deer, elk, moose and goat for late fall. But if you are a DSC member,
it is also "convention season" − the part of the year when it would be good to
have 36 hours a day and when Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays blur into
a swift race toward January's move-in at Dallas Convention Center. Believe it
or not, Generations is Jan. 9-12, less than five months away!
The DSC 100 has met and committees have been shaping up since
Aug. 1. If you haven't yet chosen where you are going to work, please
do so!
There are two ways to go about this
(probably two times two times two…).
You can talk to your friends in the club.
Working alongside someone is a great
way to solidify friendships. Or you
might have a certain slot of time that
you can spend. There are jobs that fit
anyone's schedule. Only have Saturday
and Sunday of the show? Not a
problem! There is a
job for you! Taking a week of vacation?
Great! We have work for you long before
the doors of the show open to the public. Are you an early riser?
The action starts long before breakfast if you have the time.
The next DSC 100 meeting is Oct. 10, a perfect time to shop for a
volunteer spot on any of our 20 or so committees.
The point is step up, raise your hand, tell us that you want to join in. We
can use all the hands we can get, and remember "many hands make light
work!"
Another exciting part of "convention season" is seeing the donations pile
up. Generations promises to deliver an overwhelming number of auction
items − high quality hunts, desirable destinations, amazing artwork and
more. Of course, this is exactly what you expect from the DSC show and this
year will not disappoint. Be sure to take a look at the auction listings in this
issue of Camp Talk. That list isn't complete − there are more to come!
The hotels are filling up (and the Omni is sold out!). Book your rooms as
soon as possible. If you have already registered for the banquets, or become
a table sponsor, thank you! If you haven't, why not call the office or fill out
the form on page 21 and email/fax it over.
Yes, it's all happening and we don't want anyone to be left out. Please
contact the office for more information, or contact me or Mark Kielwasser,
my co-chair, if you have suggestions or questions.

RELOADING
LET THE RIFLE DECIDE
By Terry Blauwkamp
Have you ever had an occasion where certain ammo
you wanted to use for hunting just did not shoot up to
expectations? The only thing to do is test some more
combinations, which can get a bit expensive if you are
using factory ammo at $20 to $40 a box to shoot 5 or 10
shells. If you reload your own ammo, it is a lot easier.
Let’s take my .338 Winchester Magnum as an example.
I really had great expectations of it shooting 210-grain
Nosler Partitions for an upcoming plains game trip to
Namibia, but needless to say, the gun did not care for
them very much.
After a shooting for a while, I had cleaned the barrel
and wanted to shoot a couple of “foulers” before
continuing with testing. I had brought along a few 200grain Hornady Spire Points for just that purpose. Lo and
behold, it put the first two bullets touching, and out of a
clean barrel too. I let it cool off and fired two more. They
went right in on top of the first two. Eureka, I may have
found it!
Now some folks might think the 200-grain Hornady or
Speer bullets are a bit on the light side for the .338
6
D A L L A S
S A F A R I
C L U B
N E W S
Winchester Magnum, as most folks prefer 210- or 225grain bullets, but at 2,900 fps, they shoot very flat and
don’t kick as hard as the heavier bullets do. True, they will
not have the penetration of bonded core or partition
bullets but they were worth a try. I took them on a
Namibian plains game hunt, and they sure did a good job
on medium-sized game.
My gun just loves 225-grain Federal Classic ammo, so I
also took a few of these along too to use gemsbok and red
hartebeest. For zebra, I have found the Federal Premium
225-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claws or 225-grain Barnes
TTSX ammo to be my favorites.
Once upon a time, I had a 7mm Remington Magnum
that just refused to shoot anything other than 175-grain
flat base bullets. It would not shoot any boat tails
(regardless of weight) nor light-weight bullets whatsoever.
Therefore, I used 175-grain Bear Claws, Speer Mag Tips, or
Hornady Spire Points for many years with wonderful
success.
How about a new .270 Winchester that I sure wanted to
shoot 130-grain bullets for antelope and mule deer? No
way − this gun liked 150 grains much better and 140
grains best of all. So of course, I shoot 140-grain Barnes
TSX or 150-grain Hornady Spire Points in it exclusively
now.
Guns are as different as people. Just because your old
Remington Pump action .270 Winchester shot 130-grain
Remington Core Lokts like a dream does not mean that the
new bolt-action you just bought for your grandson will do
the same. It may or may not. You might try a few of the
130-grain Core Lokts you have on hand and see what you
think. If you think there is room for improvement, try
some 130-grain Winchester Power Points or Federal Classic
Soft Points.
Hornady has just come out with a new line of
ammunition called American Whitetail that has their
standard flat-base soft-point bullets. My past experience
with these bullets shows they will be great on deer. If not
these, then try some heavier 140-grain or 150-grain bullets.
Somewhere along the line, you will find the right one.
Regardless if you are shooting factory loads or reloads,
do not get frustrated and just fire one after the other at the
target. Shoot three or four shots, then let it cool off
completely. To shoot a hot barrel again and again is a good
way to ruin it. Also, take your cleaning rod along to the
range and run a little solvent and a patch through the bore
every 10 rounds. If the bore gets fouled, it will not shoot
well no matter how hard you try.
All in all, shoot what the rifle shoots best. Odds are if
you put the bullet where it belongs, the game will be down
and you will soon be taking trophy pictures.

VOLUNTEERS
NEEDED
B
e sure to save the date for the DSC 100 volunteer meetings. What is this
DSC 100, you may ask?
The DSC 100 has played a crucial role in the success of our annual
convention throughout the years. This army of volunteers began with nearly
100, hence the name. However, over the years, it has grown to 500– 600
volunteers who give 100 percent. Jobs range from bag stuffing to coffee and
hospitality service to move-in/move-out and security. You name the job −
there is a volunteer involved in it!
Why volunteer? You will make new friends, hang out with old ones and
have the time of your life. You won’t believe how much fun countless hours
of hard work can be until you do! Not available for more than a few hours?
That’s ok − join us! There is room for all levels of energy, time and talent. If
you are not sure, you can also just show up at a meeting where friendly
committee chairs may fight over you. (It’s been known to happen!) CT

STUDENTS: HIGH MARKS FOR
OUTDOOR SKILLS CLASSES
By Scot McClure
DEF Education Coordinator
S
econdary-school students across Texas are giving
high marks to recently accredited coursework that
teaches traditional outdoor skills such as fishing,
hunting and camping, according to a 2013 survey.
Student opinions of the fast-growing Outdoor
Adventures education program were collected in a
program assessment commissioned by Dallas Ecological
Foundation and funded by a grant from Dallas Safari Club.
The Outdoor Adventures education program will reach
about 16,000 students this year at more than 160
secondary schools that have formally adopted the
curriculum.
DEF, an education partner with the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, developed the curriculum, which
aligns with national education standards and is accredited
by the State of Texas. Teaching units within the program
cover camping, boating, archery, hunter education,
shooting sports, orienteering, survival skills and outdoor
cooking. Conservation is a theme woven into each of the
units.
“Survey results definitively and quantitatively support
the anecdotal reviews that students, parents and teachers
have been sharing with DEF from the beginning. This
program introduces young teens to outdoor activities that
they enjoy and value,” said Scot McClure, OA coordinator
for DEF.
He added, “Greater participation and involvement in
the outdoors tends to strengthen understanding of − and
ultimately stewardship of − wildlife and natural resources.
We’re very optimistic that student enthusiasm for OA will
translate to a lifetime of good conservation.”
McClure added, “The outdoor industry also will be
thrilled to learn that the survey indicated marked increases
in all types of equipment purchased after participating in
the program. After all, OA is not your traditional PE
course. Instead of teaching with basketballs and tennis
rackets, we use rods and reels and bows and arrows.”
Teachers participating in OA receive special training,
complete scope and sequence, syllabus, daily lesson plans
and cross-curricular opportunities in math, science,
writing, technology and other applications, and more.

LAW ENFORCEMENT News
GLOBAL WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING
BUSTS EXPOSE ILLEGAL
INTERNET SALES
S
cores of wildlife traffickers face federal and state
charges for selling protected species online last
summer. A coordinated undercover law enforcement
operation was led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
and involved officers from 16 states, three federal
agencies, and three Asian countries.
Operation Wild Web resulted in 154 “buy/busts” in the
U.S: 30 involving federal wildlife crimes and 124 for
violations of state wildlife laws. It also exposed online
trafficking of live birds and tiger and leopard pelts in
Southeast Asia, where enforcement agency participation
was coordinated by the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations-Wildlife Enforcement Network (ASEAN-WEN).
“Our message is clear and simple: The internet is not
an open marketplace for protected species,” said Edward
Grace, the Service’s Deputy Assistant Director for Law
Enforcement. “State partners and our ASEAN-WEN
counterparts were essential to the success of this
operation, and that cooperation remains critical to
disrupting wildlife trafficking on the Web and elsewhere.”
Over a 14-day period running in August of last year,
approximately 70 USFWS special agents and conservation
officers from state wildlife agencies across the country
teamed up to investigate illegal online commerce in
wildlife. Agents from the National Park Service and
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration helped
staff some of the 14 “taskforce” groups operating in the
U.S. Additionally, wildlife officers in Singapore, Thailand
and Indonesia simultaneously ran their own in-country
Operation Wild Web taskforces targeting illegal wildlife
internet sales.
This coordinated law enforcement operation disrupted
internet-based trafficking of wildlife species in violation of
the Endangered Species Act and Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES),
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, state laws, and the laws of
other countries. Items
being sold (in addition to
those shown here)
included leopard and
jaguar pelts, elephant ivory,
sea turtle products, walrus
ivory and crocodile parts,
as well as live, injurious
walking catfish.

Wildlife and wildlife products seized by service agents
during Operation Wild Web included the pelts of big cats
such as Sumatran tiger and jaguar; live migratory birds;
sea turtle shells and sea turtle skin boots; whale teeth;
elephant ivory; migratory bird mounts; walrus ivory; and
other items. The intercepted transactions involved more
than $60,000-worth of wildlife contraband.
Federal laws regulating the sale of wildlife include the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (which both prohibit any commercialization
of protected birds); the Endangered Species Act (which
bans the interstate or international sale of listed species
and most products made from them); the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (which limits the sale of most marine
mammal parts and products, other than those crafted by
Native Alaskans); and the Lacey Act (which makes it a
federal crime to transport wildlife or their products across
state boundaries if they have been sourced in violation of
state law).
Federal prosecutions based on Operation Wild Web
have been completed or are being conducted by the Office
of the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California
and other U.S. Attorney Offices throughout the United
States. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife,
Texas Parks and Wildlife, and Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission played major roles in the
taskforce operations in these states.
If you know of any
suspicious wildlife
trafficking or poaching,
please contact the
Operation Game Thief
hotline, 1-800-792-GAME,
or visit www.ogttx.com.

2014 Trophy Award Competition
“The photos and trophies we collect are merely a representation of
what it took to actually get those photos and trophies…. It is the
hunting experience as a whole, that’s what keeps us coming back
to those campfires.” — Ivan Carter
I
t is in the spirit of celebrating that experience and the
joy of hunting that leads us to celebrate the trophies
taken in the past year. Dallas Safari Club presents
awards to its members once a year. As judged by a
panel of Dallas Safari Club experts, prizes are awarded
for the best trophies by region, size, species and the
hunter's age group.
To enter, contestants should provide the following:
1. Completed Member Trophy Awards Form for each
animal entered. Available on the DSC website under
“Awards” from the home page.
2. A field photo, preferably digital, of you with your trophy
3. $30 entry fee for each animal entered
4. A score sheet for each animal entered
5. B&C scores are admissible for North American game
The %&"%-*/& for submitting completed entries to the
DSC office for the 2014 competition is %&$&.#&3.
If the entries are incomplete or not received by the
deadline, they will be carried
over to next year’s
competition.
Field photos of you and
your trophy will be displayed
in the Trophy Award or
Membership area during the
convention, and winners
will be awarded at an
upcoming monthly meeting
and listed in a subsequent
issue of Camp Talk.
If you are interested in
displaying your actual trophy during
the convention, you should contact the chairman
of the Wildlife Committee a minimum of one week
prior to the convention.
We hope more DSC members will participate in this
year’s trophy awards so we can celebrate hunting
success. CT
Complete rules and forms can be found online at
