We flew Qantas out of DFW into Sidney, then on to Darwin. Make sure to get all rifle permits for both import into Australia and export. Alex can coordinate that. A couple of our guys brought ammo back home, so there was additional export paperwork for that.

Thank you all. I have passed your information on to my cousin, now he needs to do his homework. Looks like I might have to schedule a trip to Zambia to help him decide, and maybe throw in a hunt while I'm there. He did want me to pass on his thanks and to tell all on this forum who might be...

A good friend, soon to open a cigar lounge in the Texas Hill Country, is currently representing a new cigar line and is considering a booth at either DSC or SCI. Do you think there would be enough interest to support a booth?

Thank you. How do you determine what size or how many aerators? (I'm assuming they come in different sizes)

Sorry for your loss.

Update: Trout arrive the 25th, lessons for my wife have been scheduled. I have decided to give it a try as well; unfortunately my ankle will not be solid enough for at least another 6 weeks. I did try one of my dad's flies on my spinning rod to see if I could entice one of the bass to bite...

See you at SCI
