SCI Handgun Hunting Seminar

So far the SCI show has been sooo much fun!!! Renewing friendships with old friends, hunters, outfitters; meeting new ones, bumping into/sharing stories with hunters and PH's from all over the world, and hunters who have HUNTED all over the world. Went to the Awards Ceremony with my wife Karen, Mark and his lovely wife Karen; at our table was Bob Baker of Freedom Arms; Jim Shockey's table was five feet away. I will see Jim again today at the Record Book Booth. I could do this again!

Today is the Handgun Hunting Seminar with Mark Hampton and Larry Weishuhn. I have received permission from the SCI people to film it.

Back home in Colorado, there is already 2 feet of snow in our driveway and the white flakes are still falling with 12 to 20 inches more predicted. Just another reason I am happy to be here!

Will report again.

I had a front row seat at the seminar, won a bottle of wine, shook hands with Mark Hampton, (and he signed a copy of his book for me), talked hunting with the towering Gregg Richter (almost talked him into a S.E. Alaska black bear hunt, plus he gave me a copy of his DVD), bought another Jack O'Connor book, got re-acquainted with my safari outfitter (he said my trophies will be here by May), I told him I would book a Cape Buffalo hunt with him after they are hanging on my wall, drooled all over the Freedom Arms booth, and voiced my disappointment at the Ruger booth for discontinuing their namesake .480. I can go on and on, but those are my highlights.

I'd like to see some handgun hunting seminars in other parts of the country. Have you guys ever thought of making a tour?

I can think of several guys on here that I would like to hear speak.

Gregg,

Thanks for the update.

And for those of you who may not know, but what was mentioned above. I met Gregg years ago at a wedding in Colorado. My first thought, the same one whenever I watch a John Wayne western, Poor Horse.........

Ha Ha! If you watch my video, you will see that I have a big horse, one that fits me, and we are very in sync. He is a draft-cross, weighs about 1500, really a great horse. He has packed out over a dozen elk, and dragged out almost as many.

Bojo and I have shared many many hunts solo, or with just another horse. If you have ever field dressed a big elk ALL BY YOURSELF, you will appreciate it when I tell you that many times Bojo has helped me with this.

I tie a rope on one leg of the elk (usually a hind leg), secure the other end around the saddlehorn, and position him where I want and he holds the leg for me.
