Ever been to a gun show or hunting expo? Now picture it having the biggest spread of fine gun manufacturers and amazing taxidermy covering two floors in Las Vegas... that's SCI at Mandalay Bay. From the bull elephant, to the dozen grizzly bears - Holland & Holland, to Winchester, Ruger, and Hornady - all the coolest stuff you can conceive of for big game hunting under one roof. There is of course a concentration of guides peddling African safaris and Alaskan bear hunts that you just don't see at other shows. A big reason for the focus on international hunting is SCI is the foremost conservation organization in the world and all the high rollers come to the annual show. If you were to merge guest lists from the Texas Cattlemen's and the Beverly Wilshire, that would be your average show attendee.
I had the pleasure of meeting up with a former colleague Eric, who after a career as a Marine Sniper became a professional hunter in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Namibia. He offers package hunts for the novice, or tailored hunts of specific dangerous game for more experienced hunters.
