There is a reason 

so many 

Texas ranches 

use AntlerMax 

protein deer feeds. 

Whether the ranch is 

low or high fenced, 

AntlerMax is the top 

choice of ranch managers 

and wildlife biologists 

when it comes to 

supplementing native 

habitat and promoting 

overall herd health and 

antler growth in their 

deer herd. 

“After 25 year of 

managing high-fence 

and low-fence ranches 

and using protein feed 

vs. nonfeed, AntlerMax 

supplementation puts 

on more ounces per 

linear inch of antler 

then any other feed on 

the market,” said Chris 

Huey, wildlife biologist 

at the Chaparrosa 

Ranch in South Texas. 

Purina is the leader 

in deer nutrition and research. 

The difference 

between AntlerMax and 

other deer feeds on the 

market is their patented 

AntlerMax By-Pass 

Protein and Mineral 

Technology. Developed 

in 1995 as an innovative 

first from Purina, the technology promotes antler growth by improving the protein 

quality ingested by the deer. AntlerMax underwent a major improvement last year and 

enhancements will continue as new research information becomes available. 

“Dietary protein from traditional deer pellets and from ingested plants in the habitat is 

typically broken down by bacteria in the deer’s rumen. The deer then digests the bacteria 

in its small intestine,” said Dr. Larry Varner, Purina’s wildlife nutritionist. “But the quality 

of the dietary protein can be degraded by these bacteria, potentially leaving less of 

the high-quality amino acids available for antler growth.” 

Purina’s AntlerMax By-Pass Proteins are protected from being broken down by these 

bacteria, as they bypass the bacteria in the rumen, so the high-quality amino acids are 

digested in the small intestine, which can support greater antler growth. 

Science aside, AntlerMax works — and the deer like it, said Ben Binnion, biologist/ 

foreman at the Paloma Ranch. 

“The best part about it is the consistency of the feed pellet,” Binnion said. “The deer 

take to it really quick, even when they are first-time feeders.” 

Binnion said he likes how Purina devotes so much attention to research to develop 

a feed specifically for the entire deer herd in the region where they live, along with the 

customer service received from Purina’s staff. 

Purina understands that different parts of the country have different nutritional 

strengths and weaknesses. That is one reason why some areas raise big deer and others 

do not. AntlerMax diets are regionally formulated based on extensive analysis of deer 

livers that highlight regional mineral deficiencies. Purina AntlerMax diets help meet the 

regional mineral deficiencies. The unique combination of AntlerMax By-Pass Protein 

Technology, Mineral Technology, Nutritional Enhancements and Regional Formulations 

results in a premium feed, designed specifically for deer. 

In addition, Purina’s AntlerMax feeds include proprietary levels and ratios of essential 

minerals, including chelated minerals, that help maximize every buck’s genetic potential 

for antler growth while supporting reproductive performance in does and helping to 

produce strong, healthy fawns. 

Huey said the better feed equals healthier deer. 

“More density and longer points equals a larger B&C score,” he said. “Data doesn’t lie 

— and that’s a fact!”

feel free to reach out to your local Purina Dealer or contact Scott Hohensee. He may be

A level playing field: From lion hunt 

to law firm’s practice 

{ 

There are parallels between hunting and the practice of law, according to Gregory 

Shamoun, the managing partner of Shamoun & Norman in Dallas. And his lion 

hunt in Zimbabwe confirmed it. 

As part of a 30-day safari Shamoun took with his 13-year-old son in August of 

2013, Shamoun was able to accomplish his goal — hunting a truly wild, fair chase lion on 

the Matetsi Unit #5, a more than 1,000,000-acre government-owned territory where there 

are only two male lion tags awarded each year. 

“I insisted that if I was going to pursue the king of the jungle, it was going to be on a 

level playing field,” he said. “It was the real deal and about as primitive of a safari as one 

could do. We hunted this lion for six days — I was worn out. He was old, he had been 

kicked out of the pride and was out on his own with another male lion.” 

Some of the traditional hunting methods didn’t work. 

“We tried zebra bait and kudu bait,” Shamoun said, “but we didn’t have any success in 

the blind and we had no trail camera pictures of the lion coming to the bait.” 

On the sixth day, the group was planning to head to another area, feeling the lion had 

moved on. 

“We checked baits before moving camps, and lo and behold, while driving about six 

miles from our bait site, we saw him at 11:15 a.m. walking up a ridge.” 

They stopped and glassed the lion and confirmed it was the old male. 

“We moved closer and got within 175 yards,” Shamoun said. “I was able to take him with 

my .375 off of the sticks and he didn’t go far.” 

When he reached the 560-pound beast, Shamoun was overcome by its size. 

“It was shocking to see an animal that massive,” he said. “It was the first time I had 

touched a lion. It was mentally challenging to absorb how massive he was. I marveled at the 

size of his ankles, his paws, his teeth and his head. He was all scratched up and his mane 

stopped at his elbows. I thought about all that old fella had gone through.” 

Shamoun heaped praised on his PH and his outfitter. 

“My PH, Dean Kendall, probably is the number one cat PH in all of Zimbabwe,” he said. 

“And Paul Stones Safaris out of South Africa was the most professional, organized and 

diligent outfitter one could hire. The camp was first-class, the food spectacular and the staff 

five-star.” 

Back at the camp, the celebration began. 

“The wives and children of those that work at Matetsi came and were singing and dancing,” 

Shamoun said. “I learned that lions and the other cats have been brutalizing livestock, 

children and camps for centuries so bringing one in leads to a remarkable celebration.” 

Shamoun and his son also bagged a cape buffalo, two kudus, two zebras, two impalas, a 

waterbuck, baboon and serval cat on the adventure. 

Shamoun relates the hunting of a wild, male lion to being successful in the practice of 

law. His firm, Shamoun Norman, handles primarily high-stakes litigation. 

“We as a law firm have spent more than 25 years hunting for our clients,” he said. “The 

preparation and strategy of hunting a wild, male lion are the same I utilize in hunting for 

my clients for justice. An animal doesn’t care what your name is or how much money you 

have. You’re in their backyard. 

“My firm believes that when we are in the hunt, we want a level playing field and a 

proper hunt for justice.”

Extreme 

accuracy at 

extreme 

ranges with the 

Eliminator III 

by Burris 

{ 

BOOTH #312 

The Eliminator III LaserScope is one of 

the most innovative and effective hunting 

riflescopes in the world. Combining 

outstanding optics with pinpoint laser 

rangefinding and precision trajectory compensation, 

it eliminates the variables and guesswork 

that often cause hunters to go home emptyhanded. 

In one fast sequence, the Eliminator III 

determines the distance to your target, factors 

in your trajectory and illuminates the perfect 

holdover. 

The Eliminator III is programmed with your 

exact cartridge information for absolute accuracy. 

It can range targets out to 1,200 yards to 

help you extend your shooting capability. With 

a built-in inclinometer, it can automatically 

compensate for any uphill or downhill shots. 

You can hunt with absolute confidence with the 

Eliminator III. 

For maximum versatility, the X96 Reticle is 

designed to work at any magnification setting. 

To ensure accuracy in any weather, the Eliminator 

III provides a method for calculating wind 

hold-off. The reticle displays a 10-mph Wind 

Value based on your cartridge and the exact 

distance to your target. The Wind Value represents 

how many dots to hold into the wind for a 

10-mph wind; the shooter estimates actual wind 

speed and uses the Wind Value as a guide to 

determine the exact hold-off. 

The Eliminator III is available in a 4x-16x- 

50mm and 3x-12x-44mm configuration. The 

strong, low-mounting system is easy to install 

and requires no rings. No other riflescope combines 

this level of quality, technology, accuracy, 

repeatability and effectiveness. Increase your 

accuracy and long-distance shooting capability 

with the Eliminator III.

WELCOME TO THE DALLAS SAFARI CLUB 

CONVENTION & SPORTING EXPO 

Texas’ biggest showcase of hunting, conservation 

The Dallas Safari Club convention and expo – Texas’ biggest showcase of hunting, sporting and 

outdoor adventure – is set for Jan. 15-18. 

The public-welcome event, set in downtown Dallas at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention 

Center and Omni Hotel Dallas, also is one of America’s premier fundraisers for conservation. 

Over the past five years, it has generated more than $4.5 million for wildlife programs, public education 

and hunter advocacy worldwide. 

In the Dallas region, it trails only the HP Byron Nelson Golf Championship in raising funds for worthy 

causes, according to the Dallas Business Journal. 

“Last year we hosted a record 43,000 people. Together, we raised more than $1 million for wildlife, 

plus another $350,000 specifically for black rhino populations in Namibia,” said DSC Executive Director Ben Carter. “We’re thinking even bigger for 2015 because all attendance 

predictors, including advance sales of registrations and room blocks, are up from last year.”

Success of Lone Star Outdoor News 

Foundation adds lifelong outdoorsmen 

When Lone Star Outdoor News Foundation scheduled its first group of hunters 

in late October of 2013, the hope was to introduce some new people to deer 

hunting and create new hunting and fishing opportunities. 

Less than one year later, the goal for the first group was achieved. The 

parents of three of the four youngsters who hunted last year spent $10,000 each to join a 

10,000-acre lease in Webb County and provide hunting opportunities for their children. 

A year later, several other new hunters have become hooked for life, and are pestering 

their fathers for leases and more hunts. 

The foundation began after observing the need to get people introduced to hunting and 

fishing — people who have the desire but lack the opportunity. 

Jim O’Connor attributed their hunt with LSONF to the future of he and his son, Nick, in 

in deer hunting. 

“My son has really gotten into it,” he said. “I didn’t have anyone who took me hunting 

when I was growing up. I’m trying my best to get Nick more acclimated than I was.” 

LSONF has successfully raised money to help. With two corporate sponsors, Cabela’s 

Outdoor Fund and the Texas Deer Association, along with numerous generous individual 

donors, the season is booked full of hunters seeking their first buck. The Lone Star 

Outdoor News Wild Game Supper, held at the Beretta Gallery in Dallas with food from 

Cinnamon Creek Wild Game Processing, raised more than $11,000 for the foundation 

earlier this year. 

Other charities have asked how to do it. 

“You just have to work hard and be willing to donate all of your time and spend a bunch 

of your own money,” said LSONF board member David J. Sams. 

Still, more opportunities are out there, and people are still waiting for their first chance 

to become hunters for a lifetime. 

“We are seeking more corporate sponsors and donors,” said LSONF Executive Director 

Craig Nyhus. “Several other ranch owners have seen what we are doing and are offering 

their support — we can triple the number of people we are taking now.” 

The foundation’s mission statement is about opportunities for all, not just the young. A 

72-year-old Vietnam veteran who had never seen a big buck while hunting completed a 

hunt in December. A big, wide buck came into view, but the excitement was too much — 

and he missed. 

Hunters scheduled the remainder of this season include a Texas Parks and Wildlife 

Department urban biologist and a graduate wildlife biology student at Sul Ross State 

University, both women, who have never hunted. 

LSONF has added three new board members, David Sweet, Don Draeger and Sidney 

Junek, with an eye on expanding hunting and fishing opportunities across the state. 

Hunters from the past two seasons, who have already contributed more than $100,000 

back into the hunting industry, couldn’t agree more. 

Two hunters arrived last year with brand new rifles and gear. Rifles, binoculars and 

rangefinders were the topic of discussions in the deer blind. Mostly, though, the discussions 

were about finding a place to hunt in the future. 

“After my son’s first hunt, we are getting on a lease with a group of neighbors,” said 

Vincent Prejean of Little Elm. “I never thought I would become a hunter.” 

Lone Star Outdoor News Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission 

to create hunting and fishing opportunities, benefit youth education, and support 

wildlife research and outdoor journalism. To donate, call (214) 361-2276, visit lsonews.

Patagonia: The land 

of free-roaming giant 

stags 

{ 

The best 

and biggest 

population of 

free-ranging 

red deer awaits at Algar 

Safaris in Patagonia, 

Argentina, a true hunting 

paradise. 

Patagonia is characterized 

by wide-open, 

very large ranges, and 

hunting areas at Algar 

Safaris amass 85,000 

acres, where trophies of 

superior quality may be 

pursued in fair chase 

environments. The 

stags are spotted from a 

long distance and stalked, especially in a rutting season that extends more than 60 days. 

The red deer were introduced into Argentina around the turn of the 19th century, and 

the nation’s best and largest population is found in Patagonia. 

Red stag isn’t the only thing offered in Argentina, of course. Whether it is other big 

game, shooting thousands of rounds per day at dove or enjoying the incredible duck hunting, 

Argentina is truly a hunting paradise and great tourism destination. 

For a unique adventure and unforgettable red stag hunting, Algar Safaris offers you an 

authentic and natural Patagonian hunting experience along with top-notch accommodations 

and premium service. Algar Safaris is Argentina’s leading outfitter and has an outstanding 

reputation in the hunting industry. Since 1991, Algar has offered the finest big 

game hunting in Patagonia,. Hunters will find more than 18 different species in our private 

ranches including the unique Pere David’s deer (the only place in the world where it can 

be hunted free range), fallow deer, mouflon sheep, Patagonian ram, Russian boar, hybrid 

sheep, multi-horned sheep, wild goat and others.

Leupold VX-6 

riflescope: The 

pinnacle of {sporting optics 

Leupold has been developing cutting-edge optics since the 1940s, so it is no 

surprise that they have done it again with their top of the line VX-6 riflescopes. 

Designed, machined and assembled at their state-of-the-art facility 

in Beaverton, Oregon, the Leupold VX-6 represents the pinnacle of sporting 

optics. 

The VX-6 is available in five magnification ranges from the versatile 1-6x24mm 

to the jaw-dropping power of the 7-42x56mm. With a large selection of reticle 

choices, both illuminated and non-illuminated, there is bound to be the perfect 

VX-6 for you. 

Leupold didn’t pull any punches when designing this line of riflescopes. They began 

with a one-piece maintube crafted out of aircraft grade aluminum for unrivaled 

durability. Available in 30mm and 34mm diameters, they offer plenty of windage 

and elevation adjustment for the longest of shots. From there, lead-free, edge-blackened 

lenses with Xtended Twilight and DiamondCoat 2 lens coatings optimize light 

transmission in low-light conditions, provide unparalleled scratch resistance and offer 

a crystal clear image throughout the magnification range. The extreme fast-focus 

eyepiece makes reticle focus easy to achieve and maintain in the field. 

Available with 1/4 Minute of Angle (MOA) or 1/8 MOA elevation and 1/4 MOA 

windage adjustments, depending on model, all VX-6 riflescopes are Custom Dial 

System capable and come with one free CDS dial custom engraved to your load’s 

ballistics through the Leupold Custom Shop. When used with a Leupold RX rangefinder 

equipped with TBR, the CDS system takes the guesswork out of long-range 

shooting by having yardage engraved on the dial for fast, easy elevation adjustment. 

It truly is as easy as range, dial and shoot. 

Select models offer the all-new Wind-Plex reticle and the CDS-ZL (Zero Lock) elevation 

dial. The Wind-Plex reticle has hash marks spaced at 1 MOA intervals along 

the horizontal stadia that aid in windage holds when it is blowing outside. While the 

CDS-ZL elevation dial allows the shooter to return to zero without over-rotating and 

when zeroed it locks into place preventing inadvertent dial rotation in the field. 

The illuminated VX-6 scopes feature Leupold’s exclusive FireDot illumination system. 

The one-button, low-profile design gives the shooter 12 illumination settings to 

choose from, plus Motion Sensor Technology that deactivates the illumination after 

five minutes of inactivity and instantly reactivates it as soon as movement is detected. 

Should the VX-6 be a long-range model, the side focus dial is placed around 

the illumination control for fast and simple one-handed operation. 

The final step in completing the VX-6 riflescope is to purge it of its internal oxygen 

and replace it with Leupold’s exclusive Argon/Krypton gas blend. This gas blend 

is more resistant to thermal shock and diffusion than the traditionally used nitrogen 

gas, delivering 100-percent waterproof integrity. 

So the next time you are in the market for a “Top Shelf” riflescope, take a look 

through the Leupold VX-6. If you can’t get it done with a VX-6, there’s no point in 

trying.

The most luxurious 

hunting train in the 

world 

Rovos Rail’s Pride of Africa is a restored 1920s vintage Edwardian train complete with 

original dining and observation cars. From the observation car complete with a viewing 

deck, to the dining car with linen-covered tables set with fine china and crystal, 

to each well-appointed stateroom with its private bath, the Rovos Rail is a study 

in elegance. Add an attentive staff and all the elements are in place for travel on what many 

consider the most luxurious train in the world. 

The Rovos Rail shooting safaris have been in operation since the early 1990s. The concept 

has been wildly successful — combine luxury train travel that includes exquisite cuisine, the 

best wines and spirits, and a full program for the ladies with world-class hunting, and you have 

the ultimate field sports vacation. 

Each journey offers two options. One is for wingshooting: driven guinea fowl and francolin, 

decoyed pigeons, and high-volume dove and waterfowl action. The second option is for plains 

game: kudu, impala, blesbok, hartebeest, nyala, eland and springbok are just a few of the species 

available. 

When the time comes to board, a red carpet shows the way and champagne cocktails are 

served while the luggage is whisked away to your stateroom. Your journey takes you from 

Pretoria to the bushveldt and farmlands of the North West province, the diamond fields of the 

Northern Cape, and the rich game lands of the Free State before finally returning you to the 

Pretoria Station. 

The first shooting day starts with a sumptuous breakfast and rich Kenyan coffee before 

disembarkment. Your local host is waiting, and after boarding the Land Rovers, it’s a 30-minute 

drive to the first shoot. Not far from Mafikeng, the highway is left behind as you enter 

a mixture of verdant farmland, open grasslands and acacia woodlands. This is wild country 

where game birds share the bushveldt with kudu, bushbuck and bushpigs, and agricultural 

lands coexist with native habitats. 

The first two days are devoted to guinea fowl shooting. Guineas are strong-flying game birds 

that are at their best when driven by 60–100 beaters towards a waiting line of guns. Generally, 

there are four drives before the midday lunch break, then two or three in the afternoon. Typically, 

eight guns account for 200-plus guinea fowl and a few francolin. Now that’s world-class 

driven shooting, especially when considering that the birds are all wild. 

In addition to the driven days, there are two days of dove and pigeon action. The shooting 

is near Bloemfontein, an agricultural region where sunflower, soybeans, corn and wheat are 

the primary crops. As a result, huge concentrations of rock pigeons and doves (Cape turtle, 

laughing and red-eye) descend on the area to take advantage of the abundant waste grain. The 

shooting peaks in May and June when the sunflower crop is harvested. The shooting is often 

hot-barreled and it’s easy to shoot 500 or more rounds in a day. The pigeons are hunted over 

decoys and the doves are flighted. 

One day is devoted to waterfowl shooting in the Northern Cape near Kimberly. The goose 

hunting is over decoys while flighted ducks round out the day’s action. 

The plains game option offers visits to three or four properties during the course of the eightday 

trip. Clients are met at the train by a professional hunter and transported to the hunting 

area. The guiding is on a one-on-one basis. One of the largest properties is the Wintershoek 

Game Reserve, about a 30-minute drive from Kimberley. Wintershoek covers more than 

132,000 acres characteristic of the region, including flat, open thornveldt, savanna, semiarid 

desert, mountains and rocky hills, and both mopane and miombo woodlands. The plains game 

hunters can harvest a dozen species including sable, kudu, impala, nyala, red hartebeest, 

eland, warthog, springbok, blue wildebeest, black wildebeest and blesbok. 

Each day, the nonshooters have their own guided program that includes visits to Boer War 

battlefields, art museums, spa visits, shopping and game drives. The nonshooters join the 

guns in the field for a half-day of shooting and the midday meal while everyone on board 

spends a day touring the Diamond Mine Museum and Big Hole in Kimberley. The trip is designed 

with both shooters and nonshooters in mind, with outstanding programs for both. 

Rovos Rail truly provides the finest safaris available. With fast-paced hunts, unforgettable 

destinations, and incredible accommodations aboard the most luxurious train in the world, 

they are something you must experience firsthand. Booking now for 2015 & 2016.

Montana Watch Co. unveils inspired 

new line, the Cattleman Watch 

The Montana Watch Company is proud to introduce the Cattleman Watch line in 

tribute to the historic men whose entrepreneurial spirit and drive to succeed, despite 

challenging environmental conditions, forever shaped the culture and values of the 

American West. 

Available in three variations: The Classic Cattleman, The Cowboy, and The Lonesome 

Dove… each with unique elements reminiscent of the inspirational cattlemen of yesterday and 

today. 

• The Classic Cattleman embodies clean yet traditional design components easily 

identifiable with Western Americana and offers an excellent canvas ready to be enriched with 

custom personal touches chosen to best reflect the distinctive taste of its proud owner. Quintessential 

symbol of the American West, the American cattleman conjures up romantic images 

of rugged western adventure. 

• The Cowboy is emblazoned with a “Riding for the Brand” inscription framed with 

Western Single Point hand engraving and a custom black dial with the mysterious Montana 

Vigilante code, 3-7-77. Long heralded as the Cowboy’s creed, “Riding for the Brand,” a phrase 

first coined by novelist Louis L’amour, 

beautifully encapsulates the code of 

the western cowboy including values 

such as discipline, hard work, honesty 

and loyalty to the brand. This 

watch is a true testament to these 

amazing individuals. 

• The Lonesome Dove features 

a 14-karat gold hand-sculpted 

Texas Lone Star overlay with a handturned 

gold rope circling the bezel, 

and is finished with Western Bright 

Cut hand-engraving and a custom 

gold dial. Capturing the pride of the 

Cattleman, the Lonesome Dove is 

a nod to the rich Texas/ Montana 

connection that began with Nelson 

Story, the first Cattleman to drive 

more than 1,000 head of Texas 

longhorn cattle along the Bozeman 

Trail. Traveling from Texas to the lush 

Gallatin Valley in Montana in 1866, 

Story’s herd formed one of the earliest 

significant herds in Montana’s 

cattle history. 

Every Cattleman Watch begins with a 48mm case machined from solid sterling silver, and 

is adorned with Saddle Horn lugs and a 14-karat gold winding crown. Inside beats a 17 jewel, 

Swiss ETA hand-wound movement, cal. 6498, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, 

and visible through an optional exhibition display case back. A custom hand-tooled saddle 

leather strap and matching sterling silver buckle properly finishes this spectacular watch. 

The Montana Watch Company was conceived more than 15 years ago from watchmaker 

Jeffrey Nashan’s passion for recreating early American timepieces, which often inherit the 

characteristic western charm of the company’s birthplace. Early collaborations with master 

artisans lead Nashan to specialize in customization, and Montana Watch Company has since 

emerged as the premier custom watch manufacturer in the U.S.A. 

“I created the Montana Watch Company to rekindle the great American heyday of watch 

manufacturing,” Nashan said. “All of the custom handwork, many of the components that go 

into each Montana Watch Company timepiece, and all of the cases, which are machined from 

solid stock, are fabricated in the U.S.” 

Each extraordinary timepiece is 

designed and individually handcrafted 

by Nashan in his Livingston, Montana 

studio. His expanding Classic Collection 

includes 10 watch models whose 

inspiration sprang from different 

historic American watches. Nashan’s 

new model, The Cattleman Watch, is no 

exception. 

Montana Watch Company has proudly 

supported the Dallas Safari Club Convention 

as an exhibitor for many years. 

“The Dallas Safari Club Convention is 

the perfect place to unveil the Cattleman 

Watch,” Nashan said. 

The first Lonesome Dove variation 

has been proudly donated, and will be 

available in the Saturday evening live 

auction.

Rifles, Inc. A quarter 

century of building 

{custom lightweight rifles 

{ 

Master Rifle Maker Lex Webernick has been an exhibitor at the Dallas Safari Club 

annual convention since 1988. Many a DSC member and convention attendee has 

discovered the joy of carrying and hunting with a custom-made, lightweight rifle 

from his company, Rifles, Inc. 

“It is always exciting being at the convention,” Webernick said. “I really like the Dallas Safari 

Club Convention being early — everyone has just finished hunting or are still hunting. And 

hunting is still on everyone’s mind.” 

Webernick keeps abreast of the current trend in rifles, and said rifles for long-range shooting 

is the hot topic this year. 

“When I have someone gearing towards long-range shooting, I normally try to find out their 

primary focus and keep the rifle to where it’s still a hunting rifle that can take a turn at long 

range,” he said. “These are questions that I like to address in my conversations preceding a 

rifle order. My specialty is always going to be lightweight hunting rifles — as a hunter — that is 

where my passion lies.” 

Webernick crafts each rifle with attention to details such as stock fit, rifle balance and now 

that he is doing Cerakote metal finishes in-house, he can 

come up with different color options. 

“With all of these choices — it still comes down to 

getting the rifle balanced in the shooter’s hand so that it’s 

easy to aim, comfortable to shoot and a pleasure to carry,” 

he said. “As we all know, we carry them a lot more than 

we shoot.” 

Despite all of the new calibers and trends, in more than 

25 years, Webernick has still built one custom gun the 

most often, the .300 Win Mag. 

“It’s just a well-rounded cartridge that you can take and 

hunt most anything with in North America,” he said. 

Webernick and his wife, Lina, invite you to come by the 

booth to visit about rifle projects and pick up his new DVD 

and hear his motto. 

“My goal is to build you the perfect hunting rifle.”

Texas has big muleys You bet. 

{ 

Texas might not have the reputation as a destination to hunt big mule 

deer. But Lone Star State hunters who head to the Panhandle or Trans- 

Pecos region know the truth. 

Texas has some giant mule deer. 

Nobody knows that better than Rick Merritt. Merritt is one of the best mule 

deer hunters in the state, consistently taking big Panhandle bucks. This year 

was no different, when Merritt connected on a giant nontypical buck early in 

the season. 

“Normally, early in the season when MLDP kicks in, people will start sending 

me pictures. The guys I hunt with had a big deer on camera, and I went out 

to hunt him. He was a big typical we thought might go in the 230s. The buck 

was on camera every night until two days before the season. I suspect he might 

have been poached.” 

However, the hunting gods were smiling on Merritt when, several days later, 

despite not having seen any rutting activity at all due to high temperatures, he 

came across a hot doe with the monster nontypical trailing her. 

“It was a fluke deal,” he said. “Nobody had ever seen this buck.” 

Merritt made a good shot and walked up to one of the biggest bucks ever 

killed in the state. 

“The bases measured 9 and 11 inches,” he said. “We rough-scored the buck at 265 inches, which 

would be number 2 all-time in Texas. He was an older buck — between 8 and 10 years old — and he was 

blind in one eye. The base (on one of his antlers) was pushed down over the eye.” 

Although the Trans-Pecos region has been hit by a severe drought the past couple of years, some good 

bucks fell this past season, including a huge 180-class typical taken by Louisiana hunter Garrett Prather. 

“We were hunting the Delaware Mountain Ranch and we could see Guadalupe Peak from the ranch,” 

the Baton Rouge hunter said. “The owner of the ranch was telling us where to go and look for big bucks, 

and he mentioned his nephew had passed a big buck earlier in the season. We think this was the deer he 

passed.” 

Prather said he hunted hard for more than two days, but could not locate a mature buck. 

“There was no rutting activity going on,” he said. “During 2 1/2 days, we hadn’t seen a shooter. We 

found this buck at 1:30 in the afternoon lying under a cedar tree, which is where we found most of the 

deer — lying down. I couldn’t see his entire rack; we just knew he was really wide.” 

The 6 1/2-year-old buck ended up scoring 186, and the quality of the West Texas bucks shocked 

Prather. 

“I was unbelievably surprised at the trophy quality,” he said. “I never expected a buck like that.”

The new 8x zoom scope by 

Schmidt & Bender 

There cannot be any doubt that the people of Schmidt & Bender are true experts in building scopes with high zoom factors, innovative functions and brilliant 

optical quality. 

With the 1-8x24 Exos, again new standards in hunting are being set with regard to functionality, design and quality. 

Functionality at its finest! For the very first time, a 2-in-1 solution of a reflector sight integrated into the scope is offered here. It only takes a slight turn of the 

magnification ring and the scope turns into a genuine red dot sight — made possible by an innovative patented technology. The red dot in the second focal plane is now 

parallax-free and allows for a shot at very close range; the magnification setting is 1.0 — which is perfect for focusing quickly with both eyes open. The scope is an ideal 

tool for a driven hunt because of its superior imaging performance as it provides the hunter a brilliant field of view until the edge. The large exit pupil diameter of 9.6mm 

at the smallest magnification setting is optically corrected to its optimum and makes a quick target acquisition possible for the swift shot. 

If greater distances are desired, another slight turn of the magnification ring is needed until a soft click indicates the 1.1x magnification setting. In doing so, the parallax 

setting returns to 100m, and the acquisition of far-away targets becomes easily possible. Even at a magnification setting of 8x, the superior optics is readily noticeable 

due to an extremely bright image that is also rich in contrast. 

Since the introduction of Schmidt & Bender’s unique FlashDot technology, a red dot in the second image plane has been standard. A projected red dot is used for best 

viewing results and reaches a maximum in brightness as well as perfect roundness and allows, of course, for a dimming of the illumination in 11 settings — necessary 

for twilight conditions. 

On account of the Zenith line, the Posicon-adjustment is already well-known and has proven itself. The truly unique part of this adjustment is the indicator 

that tells the gunsmith or hunter when horizontal and lateral adjustments come in conflict with one another. 

The individual who is interested in shooting greater distances has the option of acquiring a quick-adjuster for windage and 

elevation corrections. This accessory may be ordered from Schmidt & Bender with a personal engraving. 

The slender and elegant design of this extreme zoom scope is surprising! It is hardly conceivable that such an 8x zoom 

can be housed in a 30mm diameter tube. 

Together with the anodized magnification ring, an incredibly beautiful and elegant design has been created that is a 

true decoration for every hunting rifle. 

And the best part: The scope is already in stock and ready for delivery.

Wing & Barrel 

Ranch: The 

ultimate private 

hunting club 

{ 

Debuting in the fall of 2015, with more than 1,000 acres set amidst the beauty of 

California’s wine country, Wing & Barrel Ranch is inspired by age-old hunting traditions, 

expressed in fine wine and delicious food. This will be the ultimate private 

lifestyle club, with world travelers, sportsmen, expert hunters and wine aficionados 

whom all enjoy access to the finest experiences in the world. Once completed, the club will 

feature a world-class sporting clays course, 24 hunting fields, full-service member’s clubhouse 

and fly-casting pond, less than one hour from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. 

SHOOTING WITH VINTNERS 

Members can enjoy monthly events hosted by the club’s 14 Vintner Members, who are 

among a carefully selected list of the region’s finest winemakers, and are all expert shooters 

and dedicated hunters. The vintners will tailor unique shooting events, winemaker dinners 

and exclusive private label wines for Wing & Barrel Ranch members. 

WORLD-CLASS PARTNERS 

Chris Batha, the world’s leading British shooting instructor and sporting clay course designer, 

used his 30 years of experience to design our shooting grounds. Each of the 15 shooting 

stations features three shooting positions to challenge all levels of shooters. This world-class 

sporting clays course includes a high shooting tower and state-of-the-art equipment bestowing 

a diverse range of target presentations. 

Josh Leland Frazier, Master Certified Fly Casting Instructor, has designed the 1.5-acre flycasting 

pond and member fly-fishing education and travel program. 

INSIDE THE CLUBHOUSE 

The Clubhouse will serve as the heart of a wide range of member activities and gathering 

place for family and friends, winemaker events, hands-on cooking classes and, of course, 

wines paired with exceptional food. 

A member’s first stop before shooting will be in the Pro Shop where staff will guide you 

to your hunting field or sporting clays destination. The highest quality hunting attire will be 

featured to outfit you for a day in the field. An exquisite Tom Julian designed Retail Gun Vault 

stocked with a brilliant inventory of shotguns will be available through our FFL. 

Adjacent to the Pro Shop will be the gun cleaning room, men’s and women’s locker rooms, 

cigar humidor and lounge. 

The restaurant is designed to be perfectly suited for daily meals, elaborate parties, winemaker 

events and private celebrations. A unique culinary experience awaits you under the 

direction of Wing & Barrel Ranch Culinary Advisor and renowned Chef Charlie Palmer who 

has designed the restaurant and kitchen. 

Offering members and their guest’s lunch, dinner and special event menus, the restaurant 

will specialize in fresh, seasonal menus. Culinary classes will also be held in the adjacent 

demonstration kitchen. 

The Trap Bar is inspired by the traditions of American shooters, the centerpiece of the bar 

is the first Olympic gold medal won by a US shooter in 1912. 

Unparalleled hospitality is positioned in the heart of the clubhouse with our full-time 

concierge giving access to the Wing & Barrel Ranch amenities and beyond. The skilled staff 

will graciously make the necessary arrangements for you to discover an unlimited range of 

activities.

Quail, pheasant 

and more at 

Wildcat Creek 

Quail and pheasant hunters need not travel far to experience a memorable hunt, 

luxurious facilities and fabulous food. Wildcat Creek Quail Hunting Resort has birds 

at the ready — where a memorable quail or pheasant hunting adventure awaits. 

For wingshooters who favor the pheasant, full pheasant hunts have been offered 

the past two seasons. 

WCR, a family affair and the vision of Ron and Evonne Parker and their sons, Nick, David 

and Nathan, sports a new lodge and an atmosphere that is truly family-oriented. 

“We want the experience to be first-class but yet not stuffy,” said owner Ron Parker. 

Located in Red River County near Detroit, the property consists of 1,200-plus acres of wellmanaged 

land that will take hunters back in time. 

The habitat, birds and dogs are first-rate, with fields cleared out of the thick woods by Parker, 

who also owns a construction business. 

“And we have cleared saplings in two areas to offer hunters a true Georgia-style quail hunt 

with tough shots through the trees,” Ron said. “Our customers love it.” 

Wingshooters may want to get their hunts booked, though, as the word is getting out about 

Wildcat Creek, where 10 weekends are already fully booked for the upcoming season. 

Several flight pens allow for flight training for the pen-raised birds, and the birds are released 

before the beginning of the season. 

“We want the birds to be as wild as possible and 

explode out of the grass,” Ron said. 

After the hunt, the new lodge and the food 

served at WCR may be even more memorable. 

The food is prepared by son David, a trained chef 

who has worked at top restaurants. 

WCR has added a 5-stand sporting clay station 

for parties and corporate events.

Room for six in all-new 

Viking VI side-by-side 

Yamaha’s new Viking VI EPS is an extended cab six-person SxS combining 

the industry’s leading performance and durability with comfort and 

convenience – now with maximum headroom, legroom and shoulder room 

for six occupants. 

The new Viking VI is made for tough off-road duty boasting Yamaha’s industryleading 

Ultramatic fully automatic transmission, On-Command four-wheel drive 

system, Electric Power Steering and Yamaha’s proven and powerful 700cc-class 

engine. With 600-pounds hauling and 1,500 pounds towing, Viking VI is made to 

be the toughest, hardest working and most off-road capable six-person SxS ever. 

Lone Star Outdoor News’ CEO David J. Sams test-drove the Viking VI and found 

ample room for his legs in the middle back seat. The EPS allowed for driving at 

slow speeds with a finger. 

“This might be as close to a crew cab pickup truck as you can get in a side-byside 

vehicle,” Sams said. “The engine has more power than you might ever need 

and in the soft stuff, the locking differential is a great asset, as well as the full 

underbody skid plate.” 

Every Yamaha Viking and Viking VI is being assembled in the U.S.A. at Yamaha’s 

factory in Newnan, 

Georgia, 

for worldwide 

distribution.

Greystone 

Castle: Not 

just for 

wingshooters 

Visit DSC member/donor Richard Hume at 

BOOTH #3941 

Since 1995, travelers on I-20 have been wondering what it is they see as they 

approach the Thurber exit about 70 miles west of Fort Worth. They’ve noticed 

the big English-style castle that looms atop one of the majestic mesas... but 

have still questioned what it is. However, for avid wingshooters and sportsmen 

across Texas and the rest of the country — they know it’s Greystone Castle Sporting 

Club. 

For more than a decade, Greystone Castle has been part of the Orvis family as one 

of their premier wingshooting destinations. In fact, their name has become synonymous 

with quality in the hunting industry. Although wingshooting has certainly been 

Greystone’s forte for many years now, one aspect of their management expertise that has 

sometimes been overlooked is their success in producing trophy white-tailed deer. Last 

year, their hunters harvested over 25 trophy whitetails, including five in the top 20 of 

the SCI Record Book. This success has continued this season with their hunters taking 

numerous deer over 170 inches including several well over 200 inches. 

And that’s what is so unique and compelling about Greystone Castle. It can be so 

many things to so many different sportsmen. To the upland gunner, large fields of sorghum, 

millet, and switch grass bring memories of great gun dogs, flushing pheasants, 

bobwhite covey rises, and days in the field with friends. For the big game hunter, it’s 

more than 6,000 acres that offer some of the best whitetail hunting in the country and 

over 30 species of exotic game. For the clay shooter, it’s the great sporting clays and 

pyramid 5-stand courses that will test the best of shooters. And for the avid angler, their 

trophy bass lakes present year-round opportunities for tight lines on largemouth bass and 

hybrid stripers. 

What appeals to all visitors at Greystone are its top-of-the-line accommodations and 

gourmet meals. There are five elegantly decorated suites capable of hosting more than 

25 guests, a dining room complete with a full-time executive chef, spacious conference 

facilities, a swimming pool with hot tub, and, just outside the castle walls, a scenic lookout 

affords a breathtaking vista of the entire estate. In addition, the newly constructed 

2,600-square-foot pavilion facility features a custom bar, large seating areas, 65-inch 

TV, carved limestone fireplace, Laser Shot, billiards and an overlook terrace with a custom 

outdoor fire pit. 

The ownership and staff have been dedicated to creating one of the finest sporting 

destinations found anywhere in the world. Long-term habitat improvement and wildlife 

management has made Greystone an extraordinary hunting destination. This, coupled 

with the unique castle facility and outstanding customer service, makes Greystone Castle 

a place without equal.

Hunters find whole 

gear system with 

CaptivateM Outdoors 

When husband-and-wife team Martha and Mike Monnin formed CaptivateM Outdoors, 

their desire was to help outdoorsmen and women get the gear they need 

to improve their outdoor experience, especially when chasing winter whitetails 

or pursuing mountain sheep, elk or caribou. 

The company’s mission is to provide every hunter a gear system that is tailor-made to their 

individual hunting style, taking into account the terrain, favored hunting methods, climate 

and body type. 

Although CaptivateM Outdoors is internet-based, it is not an online retailer. 

“We have a personal consultation with each customer — usually by phone but sometimes 

by email — we don’t take orders online for gear,” Mike Monnin said. “You need a whole 

system to hunt properly, especially hunting the Texas winters and when you head to the 

mountains.” 

Monnin said customers planning a trip may purchase things they don’t need and need 

things they haven’t considered. 

“A lot of people don’t need what they want or don’t know what they need,” he said. “We 

want the customer to understand exactly what they are looking at and understand what they 

need for their particular type of hunting.” 

At CaptivateM Outdoors, the Monnins have compiled the finest lines of clothing and gear 

from manufacturers like Sitka Mountain Gear outerwear, FirstLite Merino wool and MontBell 

insulating layers, sleeping bags and technical gear. For the feet, they offer a pair of Kenetrek 

boots and socks for every hunting scenario. For the mountain adventure, they will help direct 

you to the right model of Hilleberg tents and Swarovski Optiks. 

Customer service is the key to CaptivateM Outdoors’ success. 

“We want to get the right gear 

to the right people for the right 

purpose,” Monnin said of the 

company, a Dallas Safari Club 

life member. “We have a huge 

clientele in Texas — while we 

have fewer customers than the big 

retailers, we have a lot more loyal 

customers.”

Kendall to present 

Distinguished Lectureship 

in Quail Management at 

DSC Convention 

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will conduct the Distinguished Lectureship in 

Quail Management at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 16, in conjunction with the Dallas Safari 

Club’s annual convention. 

The seminar, featuring the topic “On the Trail of the Eyeworm in Texas Bobwhites,” will 

be in Seminar Hall C4 of the Dallas Convention Center. 

“Eyeworms have been identified as a contender for the ‘smoking gun’ involved with the 

long decline of wild quail numbers across the state,” said Dr. Dale Rollins, AgriLife Extension’s 

statewide coordinator for the Reversing the Quail Decline Initiative at San Angelo. 

“Dr. Ronald Kendall, professor of toxicology at Texas Tech University’s Texas Institute of 

Environmental and Human Health at Lubbock, will be our keynote speaker.” 

Kendall is involved with the Operation Idiopathic Decline research effort funded by the 

Rolling Plains Quail Research Foundation. 

“Kendall and his students have several studies underway with the goal of controlling 

eyeworms and cecal worms in wild quail, Rollins said. “This year’s lecture melds well with 

last January’s lecture by Dr. Peter Hudson, who identified and successfully treated cecal 

worms which were incriminated in the decline of red grouse in the United Kingdom.”

Ranger ETX delivers 

When Lone Star Outdoor News 

Foundation needed a UTV for 

chores and transporting hunters, 

feed and hopefully bringing deer 

back to the camp, it knew where to go. 

The call was made to Hoffpauir Polaris 

in Goldwaithe, and a week later, the Polaris 

Ranger ETX was on the trailer headed to 

South Texas. 

At a cost of just over $8,600, it isn’t full of 

thrills — it simply gets the job done. Transporting 

two people easily and three without 

a lot of trouble, it takes care of trips to the 

blind. Moving feed and deer is a breeze in the 

bed with a payload capacity of 1,000 pounds. 

“My larger frame fits well in this new midsized 

UTV with a very comfortable cab,” said 

Lone Star Outdoor News founder David J. Sams. “The 30 HP EFI motor has plenty of power 

and if you need speed, I ran it up to 45 mph. It has good control at high and low speeds and 

the turning radius is acceptable.” 

The suspension in the ETX makes moving around the ranch much less bumpy than in your 

truck. 

“You can cruise about twice as fast,” Sams said. “And we have been getting about two to 

three times the gas mileage as in our trucks.” 

The new, electric fuel injection technology should remove the ethanol-containing fuel issues 

that occur in carbureted engines — but it will take many more hours to know for sure. During 

the break-in period, the bushing seals were a bit squeaky. 

“That seems to have settled in with the some lubrication from the South Texas dust,” Sams 

said. 

The 4-stroke, single cylinder, liquid-cooled engine is fueled by a 9-gallon fuel tank, and the 

on-demand, 4WD option helps in wet conditions, or, for our uses, dry conditions where the 

sandy soil slows non-4WD pickups to a crawl — or a complete stop. The tilt cargo bed is favorite 

feature, especially after you return to camp. 

“Washing out the blood is easy — the ETX has transported many animals back to headquarters 

already,” Sams said. 

The biggest problem is when more than one pair of hunters is at the ranch at the same time. 

“Everyone wants to take it out hunting,” Sams said.

The all-new 

LaRue MBT-2S 

Trigger 

{ 

In a world of instantly M.I.M. (metal injection molding) cast/stamped rifle and 

pistol components, LaRue Tactical threw on the brakes, slowed to a walk, and built 

2-stage triggers out of solid S7 tool steel plates. The MBT-2S triggers are meticulously 

built in-house in Texas by LaRue’s staff toolmakers, without a stopwatch in 

sight. 

Without question, LaRue is particular about accuracy. Gun enthusiasts know that one 

of the smartest improvements an AR-owner can do to their rifle is a precision trigger 

upgrade. And everyone also knows that LaRue Tactical has a track record of doing things 

right. 

The LaRue MBT-2S was purposefully designed and manufactured to render the greatest 

benefits from our legendary line of accurate rifles. The MBT-2S can also replace the 

stock trigger on any mil-spec AR lower receiver. 

Sparing no expense, all major components are precision-machined from S7 Tool Steel. 

The result of this extra effort is a glass-smooth, hyper-consistent trigger that will satisfy 

even the most scrupulous competition shooter, but also be overly rugged for the hunt or 

the battlefield. 

The MBT-2S breaks crisply at 4.5 lbs (2.5-lb. first stage, 2-lb. second stage) and has 

a smooth and positive reset. 

LaRue Tactical 

was formed in

Let your moment live 

to tell the story 

Fine taxidermy from a family 

business 

B 

& B Taxidermy has been in business since 1983 in Houston, Texas and provides taxidermy for North 

American and African Mounts. We offer many options for mounting your trophies, no matter if it’s African 

to North American, Global or Exotic. Another aspect we have been involved with is designing and decorating 

trophy rooms in homes and businesses. Custom-designed dioramas for your trophy mounts can be 

accomplished above and beyond your expectations. 

We invite you to stop by our showroom at 11030 Jones Road West in Houston. We will be glad to show all the 

mounting options to meet your needs. B&B Taxidermy is always looking for new ways to mount your trophies and 

preserve that lifetime of memories. 

Mike started hunting when he was 5 years old. He loved animals and everything about them. He took his first 

class of taxidermy with Kent Betts in 1979, in Ag Resource at Cy Creek High School. And that did it — he was 

hooked. 

Mike continued hanging around a local taxidermist shop and helping with anything that they would let him do. He 

just seemed to be a natural for taxidermy. He studied the animals in the wild and knew what they should look like 

when mounted. In 1983, Mike started his own taxidermy business along with his good friend Leonard Bayer (the 

other B). Leonard was an avid hunter and had gone to Africa at least once a year. 

B & B has grown since its humble beginnings and now has grown into a thriving business that has a father-son 

component. In 2011, Mike’s son, Frank Baird Jr., joined 

B&B full-time after working at the shop since he was a 

preteen. 

Mike now takes his clients and family overseas, hunts 

yearly, as well as doing lots of local deer and bird hunting. 

Mike still has that love for the animals, which shows in 

every mount that goes out the doors of B & B Taxidermy. 

Trophy Rooms by B&B Taxidermy can offer an exceptional 

look to your home or business. Mike Baird and staff 

excel at creating visually stunning taxidermy trophy rooms 

in the space you have available.

buying or selling 

a ranch 

{Think Ranch Investments 

{ 

Since its beginning in 1982, Ranch Investments has emerged as one of the 

leading ranch brokerage firms in the state of Texas. Historic sales of 1.4 million 

acres totalling nearly $1 billion has established our prominent place in the 

market. Initially based in Austin, the primary marketing efforts were focused in 

the six counties surrounding Austin and the South Texas Brush Country. However, during 

the past 10 years, brokers and agent representatives have been added in 12 locations 

allowing us to better serve the entire state of Texas. 

The founder, Kenneth O’Meara, developed a concept that brought together a team of 

associates with varied backgrounds in farming, ranching and land ownership. Our associates 

have extensive knowledge in wildlife management and commercial hunting, oil 

and gas production, row crop and irrigated farming, equine centers, cow, calf and feeder 

operations as well as real estate development. This enables us to best serve buyers and 

sellers with their transactions in the most efficient and professional manner. 

In 2008, John Ed Stepan took over the helm at Ranch Investments and manages the 

daily operations of the firm. Along with his expert staff, he coordinates print media and 

Internet marketing, works alongside his team of associates to assist them in any way 

and works directly with clients. As a Life Member of the Dallas Safari Club, John Ed has 

supported numerous wildlife conservation efforts over the years. His background is varied 

and unique including International Hunting Consultant, Game Ranch Development, 

Commercial Hunting Operations, Rural Land Development, Commercial Real Estate and 

Mineral Production. These diversified talents brought a new dimension to Ranch Investments. 

Adhering to its roots, Ranch Investments is actively engaged in the marketing and acquisition 

of working farms and ranches. However, since 2008 a new set of benefits have 

become available to our customers. 

With our network of accountants, attorneys, qualified intermediaries (for 1031 Exchanges) 

and real estate brokers we have the team of professionals to assist you in the 

sale of your property and the reinvestment of the proceeds. Many times we encounter 

sellers who own property of significant value that has been in the family many years. 

This generally results in a low cost basis and the tax implications can be significant. 

We work with each client to develop a strategy such as utilizing the 1031 Exchange to 

reinvest the proceeds tax deferred into income-producing properties. 

On the opposite end of the spectrum is the first-time landowner, whether someone 

seeking a weekend getaway or a working land investment. We carefully listen to our 

clients’ objectives, develop a plan and locate the ideal property. 

Moving forward after the purchase, we offer a full range of consulting services in ranch 

development for maximum enjoyment and utilization. Our expert team will assist you in 

taking an undeveloped piece of property and building lakes, roads, game fences, barns, 

houses, lodges and runways. Furthermore, utilizing our network of wildlife biologists, we 

will develop a plan for the propagation of native and exotic game, migratory and upland 

game birds. 

For more than 32 years, Ranch Investments has been trusted by families, foundations, 

corporations and trusts to represent them in their rural real estate transactions. Our 

reputation is based on honesty and integrity, so you may rest assured that Ranch Investments 

will always be by your side. When contemplating your next rural land transaction, 

think Ranch Investments. It is an honor to serve our clients, so please contact us for the

When you fight the 

battle for your life, CCW 

Safe will fight the battle 

for your future 

Concealed Carry Permit holders are ready to use force in self-defense to protect 

themselves and their families. They may not be ready, though, for what follows in 

the form of administrative, criminal or civil actions. 

Two of the founders of CCW Safe experienced just that, suits filed in federal 

courts over the proper self-defense use of force. 

Founded in 2011, CCW Safe was formed by former law enforcement officers and attorneys 

to cover the administrative, criminal and civil actions stemming from a self-defense use of 

force, and to do so with no out-of-pocket expenses from its members and no caps or limits on 

services provided. 

CCW Safe is a legal service membership plan (not an insurance product) that was designed 

for CCW permit/license holders and law enforcement officers. The member pays a flat yearly 

fee and enters into a legal agreement with the company to take care of most of the expenses 

(attorneys fees, investigators and expert witness cost) associated with the cost following a critical 

self-defense incident. 

If you are involved in a self-defense use of force incident where you have to defend the life 

of yourself or another, CCW Safe will select and pay for attorneys, expert witnesses and investigators. 

This will cover the 

criminal proceedings, the 

civil proceedings and administrative 

action taken 

by the state against your 

permit/license ONLY following 

the use of force.

The tradition continues 

{James D. Julia March 2015 Firearms Auction to feature the iconic Elmer Keith Estate Collection 

To most firearms aficionados, Elmer Keith needs no 

introduction. 

World War II, he served as a small arms inspector at the Ogden, Utah, Arsenal and subsequently 

devoted his full efforts towards writing in the beginning in the ’50s. During his career, he served 

on the staff of The Outdoorsman, The American Rifleman, Western Sportsman, Guns and Guns 

and Ammo. Elmer also wrote 10 books, ending with his autobiography, “Hell, I was there!” in 

1979. 

Keith espoused form and function in his works. An avid big-game hunter stemming from his 

roots as a Rocky Mountain guide, Elmer was equally proficient with a big-bore revolver, bolt auction, 

single-shot or double rifle. His collection being offered at Julia’s includes treasures from 

Keith’s battery of African stopping rifles, highlighted by the legendary “Corbett Tiger Rifle”; the 

famous Jeffery .450/400, once the principal weapon of famed Tiger hunter Edward James “Jim” 

Corbett. Also a selection of English Best Quality stopping rifles by Westley Richards and Holland 

& Holland, Classic Farquarsons and magazine rifles by Hoffman Arms and C-H, along with a 

host of specialized hunting and target handguns by Smith & Wesson, Ruger and Colt. The prize, 

though, is Elmer’s much publicized tricked-out and engraved Colt “SAA No.5” in .44 Spl, which 

Keith called “The Last Word in Fine Sixguns.” This collection represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 

to own a piece of history. 

Details of this auction may be seen at www.jamesdjulia.com. To consign to this auction or to

Over the course of the last several years, the auction firm of James D. Julia has regularly conducted the highest grossing firearms 

sales events in history. This accomplishment has been realized not by selling the most firearms at any given time, but rather by 

offering the most exclusive, important and expensive firearms in the world, twice each year. Julia’s is now widely regarded as the 

world leader in the sale of investment grade goods and is the preferred resource for buyers and sellers alike. In recent years, the 

roll call of Private, Estate and Institutional collections being offered reads like a Who’s Who from the firearms universe. These sales are 

anticipated and followed by an international audience of collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts. 

James D. Julia’s March 15-17, 2015 firearms auction is shaping up to be an event for the ages, and will be the focus of those passionate 

about firearms and firearms history. A highly anticipated grouping of firearms and accessories from the iconic Elmer Keith Estate 

Collection will be a featured component of the sale. Many of these items have been on display at the Elmer Keith Museum housed inside 

Cabela’s Boise, Idaho retail showroom. All items in the collection have remained in the possession of the Keith family since Elmer’s passing 

in 1984. 

To most firearms aficionados, Elmer Keith needs no introduction. Keith’s trademarks were his cigars, his 10-gallon Stetson, his outspoken 

opinions and practical expertise. Elmer became arguably the most famous and prolific gun writer in America over the span of his 

60-year career. Even today, his articles and books are widely reprinted with the content being as applicable and fresh as the day they were 

written. During the 1920s and 1930s, Elmer was a rancher and big game guide in Oregon and Idaho with his first articles starting to appear 

during this time. His first published work 

was in the American Rifleman in 1924. During

Shoot fast on Hidden 

Lakes quail hunt 

The big rangy English pointer named 

Rowdy was making one of his typical sweeps 

50 yards ahead of the line of hunters when 

he locked on to the siren scent of a covey of 

bobwhite quail and immediately jerked to a 

stop. 

Every muscle in his body taut, Rowdy 

waited for the other two English pointers, 

Molly and Freckles, to circle and also come 

to point on the waist-high Johnson grass and 

milo next to the mowed strip. 

As four hunters — LSON’s Craig Nyhus, 

Conor Harrison, Mike Hughs and Steve 

Schwartz, along with guide Dennis Hyde, approached the dogs, Rowdy broke his point, circled 

to the backside of the covey and slowly moved in again. 

“These birds will run on a windy day and he always circles the covey when the other dogs 

move in,” Hyde said. “He knows they try and run, so he boxes them in.” 

Slowly advancing on the trio of dogs, hunters and guide positioned themselves in a line 

before Hyde released his flushing lab, Jade, to run into the middle of the brush and make the 

covey rise. 

Birds exploded out of the brush, two going left with the wind and another going right and 

into the stiff breeze. 

Shotguns sang and two birds hit the ground, soon to be picked up by Jade. 

“I think I shot that one,” Hughs said. 

“Nope, I think that was mine,” Schwartz said with a laugh. 

The competitive banter lasted the entire hunt. 

The scenario was repeated throughout the afternoon when the crew from Lone Star Outdoor 

News made the 90-minute drive from Dallas to Yantis near Lake Fork and the Hidden Lakes 

Hunting Lodge. 

After arriving at the lodge, a 10,400-square-foot building with eight guest rooms, we were 

served a country lunch of country-fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls before 

meeting Hyde and heading out to one of the four main hunting fields on the property to chase 

birds. 

Hidden Lakes raises their own birds, with six flight pens and more than 14,000 bobwhite 

quail and pheasants on the premises. 

After a post-hunt beverage, Hyde delivered our cleaned birds and we headed back to Dallas 

— cold, tired and happy. 

This hunt was purchased by Lone Star Outdoor News at the DSC Crawfish Boil, and was a 

100-percent donation by Hidden Lakes Hunting Lodge to DSC.

Unique western art bronze sculptures 

from Joshua Tobey 

{ 

“Nature, in all its wonderful and diverse forms, is my inspiration. My 

artwork is not a replica, it is an impression of nature’s perfection.” 

A 

second-generation sculptor, Joshua Tobey lives in Loveland, 

Colorado where artistic and outdoor inspiration surrounds him. 

His work has become increasingly prevalent throughout the 

country and internationally. At 37 years old, he is firmly established 

in the Western art world, creating bronze sculptures of wildlife 

featuring a contemporary patina. Renowned for this patina work, Josh 

combines his love of art and his lifelong passion for the outdoors in his 

bronze sculpture. Sometimes called whimsical, Josh’s work also has a 

serious side; it depicts the “interdependence of wildlife and humanity” 

by revealing aspects of human emotion, experience and culture through 

wildlife sculpture. 

His work ranges in size from miniature to monumental. Josh’s work has 

been featured in several national magazines, including the cover artist 

for Wildlife Art. Tobey shows his work annually at the National Cowboy 

& Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, The Gilcrease 

Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, The Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, 

the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as 

well as five major national galleries. Recently, he was the featured artist 

at the 2014 Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival. 

Other honors include assisting his father, Gene Tobey, on more than 

12 monuments, one of them for Baylor University — a 16-foot bronze 

bear titled “The Hand of Man,” three major works in the collection of 

Raymond James Financial art collection in St. Petersburg, Florida and 

public works in the collections of Na ‘Aina Kai Botanical Gardens and 

Sculpture Park in Kauai, Hawaii. 

Tobey also sculpted three monuments at his alma mater, Western State 

University in Gunnison, Colorado, and monuments at the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado and Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Phoenix, Arizona. 

Tobey became an elected member of the National Sculpture Society in 2012 and currently serves as a board member of the Artist Charitable Fund, a nonprofit organization.

Investing, collecting 

or hunting, Rock 

Island has your next 

firearm 

There are a lot of guns out there, and they come in a seemingly endless 

list of manufacturers, genres, eras and uses. While concealed carry arms and 

modern semi-automatic rifles seem to be the hot topic of the day, tens of thousands 

of firearm owners have interests in other areas: military arms both foreign 

and domestic, guns from America’s Old West, antiques, firearms that shaped history and 

those used by master craftsmen as a canvas of wood and steel. 

The reasons for owning, using, and loving them generally boils down to these three 

variables — practical use, collecting and investment. Practical use covers everyone from 

target shooters and concealed carriers to those dreaming of their next big hunting trip. 

Collectors and investors, while generally less focused on practical use, are just as passionate 

and can be even more demanding of the firearms they seek. They add to their ranks 

every day. 

Over the last 15 years, antique and collectible firearms have demonstrated that they not 

only retain their value, but outperform traditional portfolio holdings such as bonds, stocks, 

CDs and treasury bills. Similar to other collectibles such as classic cars, coins and sports 

memorabilia, collector and investment grade firearms possess an intrinsic value based on 

their limited supply. Add a renewed interest in antique and collectible firearms as many 

historical, rare and high-condition guns are disappearing into private collections or the 

{ 

vaults of museums across the country. 

Since you are attending the Dallas Safari Club Convention, your interests are 

in a special position to blend those three key reasons for collecting. Big game 

hunters often prefer high quality, large-caliber hunting rifles in their pursuits. 

After all, miles from civilization is no place to be lugging around excess weight 

or worse, to suffer a malfunction when the perfect shot or danger arises. Those 

who manufacture these guns find a great deal of pride in the craftsmanship and 

responsibility their work entails. Arms that possess this high quality tend to hold 

or even increase in value over time, immediately lending themselves to both 

practical use and investment. 

It doesn’t take much imagination to envision a scenario where someone, 

enamored with their own hunting piece, then decides to purchase another — 

maybe in a caliber made special to them by their father, or perhaps one of historical 

interest like the .405 “Teddy Roosevelt” caliber — and with that decision 

high-end sporting arms easily find themselves in the third reason for ownership: 

collecting. 

Whether you own your rifles, shotguns, or even handguns for one or all of these three 

reasons, Rock Island Auction Company would be proud to assist you in finding your next 

firearm. Whether it’s your everyday carry pistol, the rifle you use to knock down sheep on 

the next ridge or the fowling piece you bring to walk for pheasants, we will have it. If you 

are looking for any of the world’s top manufacturers such as Purdey, Holland & Holland, 

John Dickson, Blaser, Krieghoff, Browning or others, we will have it. If you are rounding 

out your collection, looking for an unusual caliber, or seeking a rare variation, we will have 

it. Best of all, if you are seeking to make a tangible investment in something other than 

paper in a bank or numbers on a computer screen, we will have that too. And if for some 

reason, we do not have what you are looking for in our next auction, we will look for it and 

personally notify you when we do. We sell 20,000-25,000 firearms each year. 

Give us a call and allow us the privilege of finding your next shooter, investment or piece 

of your collection. 

Rock Island Auction Company is the world’s #1 auction company for firearms, bladed 

weapons, and militaria. Founded in 1993 by its current Owner and President Patrick Hogan, 

RIAC continues to set records for sales and to lead the industry with its extensive and 

beautiful marketing efforts. 

Their 86,000 facility hosts 

eight auctions each year. They 

actively seek consignments, be 

it a single item or a collection

The future of long-range: 

Monarch 7 Riflescope with 

Custom XR Turrets 

Long-range shooters need a clear and crisp sight picture, an enhanced field of view and 

instant and repeatable control over the trajectory of every shot. The Nikon MONARCH 7 

meets these shooters’ needs, and more. 

MONARCH 7 riflescopes feature one-piece 30mm main body tubes and a glass-etched 

BDC reticle, plus the Custom XR Turret package — so you have the option to either dial-in 

your distance on the crosshair, or to utilize the holdover points on the BDC reticle. 

Custom Engraved Turret to Match Your Load 

The Custom XR Turret package allows you to custom match the distances inscribed on 

the elevation dial to the specific ballistics of your load and environmental conditions. As 

a result, you can dial-in your exact shooting range and hold your crosshair directly on your 

target for every shot. A redemption voucher for your custom package comes with each 

riflescope. 

BDC Reticle 

The various aiming points built into the BDC reticle can be utilized with Nikon’s Spot On 

Ballistic Match Technology to give you exact aiming points at various yardages. Take the 

guesswork out of figuring elevation and bullet-drop compensation. 

Rugged, One-Piece 30mm Main Body Tube 

Engineered for minimum weight and maximum strength and durability, Nikon builds 

these scopes from aircraft grade aluminum alloy and utilizes larger internal lenses for 

maximum resolution. Larger tubes allow for the best resolution, wider windage and elevation 

travel and superior low-light performance. 

Spot On Ballistic Match Technology 

Like all of Nikon’s riflescopes, the MONARCH 7 series is optimized for use with Nikon 

Spot On Ballistic Match Technology. Spot On allows you to discover all of the exact aiming 

points on your scope’s reticle at various yardages for your specific ammunition and load. 

Lifetime Warranty 

Nikon riflescopes are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. If any Nikon riflescope is 

found to have defects in workmanship or materials, we will, at our option, repair or replace 

it at no charge. 

The MONARCH 7 series includes a quick focus eyepiece to all the shooter to instantly 

bring the reticle into sharp focus, and all are waterproof, fogproof and shockproof.

reassurance,” said Tarek Saab, chief operating officer and cofounder of Texas Precious Metals LLC, and a finalist on the fifth season of the NBC reality show 

The Apprentice. “Today, the industry’s average delivery time, from when the customer wires the funds to delivery 

of the package, is normally six to 12 weeks, which is incredibly frustrating to the customer. It holds the 

customer’s funds at risk and makes the buyer very vulnerable.” 

Texas Precious Metals has changed that model of business, said CEO Jason Kaspar. 

“From receipt of the customer’s funds via bank wire to delivery of these high-value goods, 

the process takes no more than three days,” he said. “This is one of the reasons we migrated 

from using ground shipping to using UPS Next Day Air. Using an effective, quick and secure 

method of delivery is a priority.” 

By using advanced tracking technology, customers are comforted in knowing that their 

highly anticipated and valuable shipments are safely on their way. 

“We are a service-based business; we do not have salespeople,” Saab explained. “We 

never want our customers to feel they were coerced into their buying decisions.” 

Among other innovations, the company introduced the .9999 fine “Texas Silver 

Round” in 2013, and has since sold more than 1.1 million of these rounds into circulation. 

The 2015 design features an iconic white-tailed deer, designed by acclaimed 

artist Heidi Wastweet. Last year, the Perth Mint of Australia partnered with Texas 

Precious Metals to produce a half-ounce energy-themed silver coin, a design that was 

approved by Australia’s parliament. 

The future is bright for the bullion company. 

“Working in a field you love is something everyone hopes they can do. But being 

able to transform an industry is the fulfillment of a dream,” Saab said. “In the four 

short years Texas Precious Metals has been in existence, we’ve changed how customers 

buy precious metals. We’re seeing the impact in our client relationships and our explosive 

growth.”
