DSC 2025

[M70375!]

Just wondering what others thought of the show being in Atlanta. In a way it was nice because there was hardly anyone there, so it was easy to talk to the vendors. But I feel sorry for them, as no one I talked to had anything good to say about the show, every vendor I talked to was disappointed with the show. The guy at Canada North said the first day of the show he never talked to one customer, can you imagine that? And that was before the snow came. I was also very disappointed with the food and disgusting prices at the Omni Hotel. First night in I was hungry and looking for a ribeye , but the closest thing to it was an 8 once brisket that was half cold and hardly anything with it for $42, I was more hungry after I got done eating than I was when I sat down . Then $31.58 for a mediocre breakfast buffet and $10 for a bottle of Sam Adams. Certainly wasn't the enjoyable experience I've had in Dallas, Vegas or Reno. I think they made a huge mistake going to Atlanta, as they told me they had 35 other places they could have chosen. Even the people from Georgia that I talked to said they hate Atlanta. I will never go back to DSC as long as it is in Atlanta, I hate that dump.

Also it was so damm cold in the bar and restaurant people were wearing their coats, disgusting for such a large hotel

Thread 'Dallas Safari Club Convention Summary'

Saturday at 2:36 PM

I’m headed back from Atlanta with @Jeff505 at the wheel and thought I’d share my opinions about the DSC convention. It was great to meet up with PHs I’d hunted with and talk to outfitters that I’ll hopefully hunt with in the future. Same as Dallas.

The downsides include:

1. The elephant in the room….the weather sucked! Nothing DSC could do about this, but it snowed then sleeted all day Saturday. As a result, attendance was minimal. I’m not exaggerating when I say the total was less than 1000. It was like having the place to ourselves. My PH friends say it wasn’t any better...
