EP 407 Brian Fienhold with Dallas Safari Club

Episode Overview Larry and Brian reflect on the massive success of the second annual DSC Summer Expo and Foundation Gala. The event featured a diverse, international presence, with exhibitors and dignitaries attending from Japan, New Zealand, Europe, and Africa. Steve Hornady and his family were honored with a Legacy Award from the DSC Foundation in recognition of their steadfast support for hunting, conservation, and the organization. A major highlight of the weekend was the strong family and youth turnout. The DSC Foundation hosted an all-day hunter education class for participants of all ages. Youth attendees enjoyed collecting stamps in their "passports" from participating exhibitor booths to earn prizes and a youth membership to DSC. The Life Member Appreciation breakfast and evening banquets were packed to capacity, reinforcing the familiar "family reunion" atmosphere that defines DSC events. Attendees celebrated the surprise presentation of a birthday cake to Larry Weishuhn by the DSC staff. Atlanta (2027): The next annual convention is scheduled for January 7–10, 2027, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, continuing the effort to reach hunters and conservationists in the Southeast. Houston (2028): The convention will make its return to Texas in 2028, taking place at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston. Dallas (Future): Once the ongoing reconstruction of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center is completed, DSC fully intends to bring the convention back to its traditional home base in Dallas. Brian shares his excitement for an upcoming fishing trip to Belize, where he plans to target near-shore species like tarpon, permit, and bonefish, as well as offshore catches like dorado, wahoo, and tuna. He is preparing for a pronghorn antelope hunt in Wyoming, returning to the area where he experienced his very first Western hunt alongside his father. In late September to early October, Brian will join a melting pot of friends from Louisiana, Illinois, and Texas for a highly anticipated moose hunt. Learn more about your ad choices.
