Sports Afield and Dallas Safari Club: Partners in Conservation
11/20/07
Wildlife conservation, education, and ethical hunting will benefit from a strong new partnership between Sports Afield, the premier big game hunting adventure magazine, and Dallas Safari Club, a premier international hunting organization.
Starting in January 2009, DSC's annual convention in Dallas, Texas, will be renamed Dallas Safari Club with Sports Afield Presents the 2009 Convention & Hunting Expo. Already one of the world's greatest international hunting conventions with more than 800 exhibits, the Dallas show is expected to grow exponentially as a result of the combined marketing efforts of both groups.
"We are particularly excited about the growth possibilities surrounding the convention as a result of this partnership," said Sports Afield publisher Ludo Wurfbain. "We expect the Dallas Safari Club with Sports Afield Convention and Hunting Expo to become the must-attend event for serious hunters as well as for every major player in the hunting industry."
Sports Afield's considerable reach will bring additional national exposure to DSC and its important conservation and education programs. Starting with the April/May 2008 issue, a special section in Sports Afield will carry international hunting and conservation news from DSC staffers and volunteers who have their finger on the pulse of the most important developments in the hunting world.
"Dallas Safari Club is a leading force in wildlife conservation, youth education and the promotion of ethical hunting worldwide," said DSC Executive Director Gray Thornton. "This partnership will help us to take those efforts to the next level and will take our convention, already known worldwide as one of the finest hunting and sporting celebrations of its kind, to new heights."
Sports Afield, the premier hunting adventure magazine, was founded in 1887. A high-end hunting and firearms magazine with an emphasis on North American and African big-game hunting and fine sporting firearms and equipment, it serves serious hunters who pursue big game around the world.
Dallas Safari Club has become an international industry leader and innovator. An active and progressive organization for the uncompromising hunter, the Club's mission is to conserve wildlife and wilderness lands; to educate youth and the general public and to promote and protect the rights and interests of hunters worldwide. Since forming in 1972, the Club has contributed millions of dollars to programs benefiting wildlife, habitat, people and the sporting community.
