As the leader of this effort, I am proud of what the Publications team accomplishes from deadline to deadline. As DSC is known for sound financial stewardship, we continue to analyze ways to better serve members and meet those needs in as fiscally responsible manner as possible. We have considered the offerings we provide to members and are excited to explore moving forward into the dynamic digital arena with one of our publications – Camp Talk. By adapting the paper newsletter into a multi-media digital publication, we can provide more for members. Instead of just distributing to the U.S., the digital version can be sent to members around the world. Discontinuing the paper version is also budget-conscious by eliminating the printing and postage for those eleven issues a year. Many of the features in the paper Camp Talk are already available on Camp Talk Online, at www.biggame.org, and also housed at members.biggame.org. Check out those sites to see what DSC is doing for you. Don’t forget to visit our Facebook and Instagram pages for more digital content from DSC. Game Trails will continue to hit mailboxes if we have your correct address on file. Look for the first edition of the digital Camp Talk to come in January. We have some interesting innovations in the works that will keep pace with our growing membership.

BIGGAME.ORG DECEMBER 2020 | 5 DSC FOUNDATION Funding the Fight BY RICHARD T. CHEATHAM, DSC FOUNDATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Smiles for Everyone
Jennifer Italiano makes every day count. Her personal goal daily is to assist wherever needed to achieve the goal of being the very best in the hunting world and in conservation, advocacy, and education. She helps the exhibits, membership, events, and accounting departments to ensure calls, payments and questions are answered or processed. She also does so many of the little jobs that need doing and smiles through all of them. What is a typical work day like for you? My day consists of covering the facility doors and phones while working alongside a small administrative staff of 12 people who have constant commitments and deadlines. We work tirelessly to ensure the DSC board, the members, attendees, and volunteers are met with a warm smile and a friendly hello. Keeping the office tidy and well-stocked is an absolute pleasure and something I enjoy doing. What is your favorite part about working for DSC? The people and the events! It is always nice to see familiar faces. I enjoy their smiles and kind words. The army of 500 volunteers is really something special to watch in action. It is a privilege to work alongside such compassionate coworkers, members, and volunteers. I learn something new every year while attending the Jennifer Italiano annual DSC convention and the 2021 show will be my fourth show. I really look forward to it! It is fun to see people finalizing their lifelong dream trips and adventures, and to be a part of that is very rewarding. My favorite event is the S.A.F.E.T.Y. event. It is exhilarating to be a part of an educational experience that the children can remember and cherish and “Either in person or by potentially advance in their future.

I enjoyed gardening with my mother DSC Executive Director and playing badminton or croquet with my family whenever we had a chance. Long walks and picnics were a part of my upbringing and something I still enjoy doing with my family and friends. Do you have a dream hunt or dream trip you would like to take? My dream trip: to visit Barcelona and its surrounding areas, including the island of Mallorca to hunt the Pyrenean chamois, ibex, and Balearian goat. My son and I plan to visit Japan one day and tour the many beautiful Japanese landscapes. I have visited Jamaica, Canada, Mexico and 29 U.S. states and absolutely love to adventure to new places and meet new people! Share a little-known fact about you: I enjoy spending quality time with my son, Sonny, who will turn 17 in January and my two girl fur babies. We adopted a cat named Ginger, almost 7 years ago. Her nickname is “Catdog” because she acts more like a dog than cat. Our adopted Old English bulldog, Leighis, is 5 years old now. Her name in Irish means “healing.” Life with these three is never a dull moment!

Terri Lewis needs little introduction to the DSC audience – she has worked for the company since 1994 in various capacities. Promoted two years ago to Operations Manager, her tasks range from corporate sponsorship to grants to overseeing the auctions and exhibits department. No matter what she tackles, Terri gets the job done. What is a typical workday like for you? A typical day for me begins early in the morning and stretches into the late evening, making for some long days. Most days, I review contracts and convention-related agreements; receive grant requests that I add to a file for board follow-up and whatever else pops up to be handled. I have an open-door policy and make myself available to assist others with any needs and/or questions they may have. At the end of the day, as other staff members are heading home, the office grows quiet. This is when I have uninterrupted time to complete tasks and prep priority items for the next day. What are some of the most pressing issues you are working on right now? Right now, the most pressing issues are related to COVID, the pandemic and the related social distancing protocols. At this time, we are moving forward with our plans for our 2021 Convention so the team is in constant contact with the City of Terri Lewis Dallas, Convention Center and others, staying abreast of protocol requirements. What are you looking forward to working on this year?

BIGGAME.ORG DECEMBER 2020 | 13 OUTDOORS TOMORROW FOUNDATION Special Day for Remarkable Outdoor Adventures Student
he Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation’s (OTF) in-school curriculum Outdoor Adventures K-12 (OA) is taught in hundreds of schools across Texas. One of the Outdoor Adventures Tschools in Lewisville, Texas, had a remarkable young man enroll in the course, Memphis Lafferty. Memphis is a quadriplegic. He lost both arms and legs at 6 months of age due to a bacterial meningitis infection. Today, Memphis is a freshman in school and his disability has not prevented this young man from enjoying the great outdoors. The OTF was informed about his courage and relentless desire to live life to its fullest, so they wanted to honor his determination with a guided youth hunt. Thanks to a private ranch owner in north central Texas, Randy Cupp, Memphis was invited to participate in a hunt. In addition, Scott Jordan (2020 OA Educator of the Year) with CRCS Outdoors on the Pursuit Channel heard about Memphis and agreed to video his entire weekend hunt. Randy brought in disabled veterans who assisted with different trigger releases and prosthetic limbs. With the veterans’ help, Memphis recorded a great group on the practice range and was ready for his first hunt. Memphis went on to harvest a nice aoudad and a whitetail buck. Memphis was extremely grateful for the opportunity and created memories for a lifetime thanks to OA teacher Ferris Bavousett, OTF, and Randy Cupp. Memphis’s hunt will be on the Pursuit Channel later this year. OTF thanks the DSC for its ongoing support of Outdoor Adventures, which is now in 614 schools in 39 states! CT

Grouse, Waterfowl, and Wolves in the News
Grouse Population Declining in Pennsylvania Grouse typically have a strong reputation in Pennsylvania since they seem to have no problem surviving even in the harshest of Northeast winters. But it turns out they have two pressing challenges to overcome: habitat loss and West Nile Virus. The grouse population may have been losing their habitat slowly over the years, but the southern two-thirds of Pennsylvania is showing a 75-year low for necessary habitat. Additionally, the non-migratory birds are also facing West Nile Virus, which has been spreading around the country since the mosquitos came from cargo ships arriving in New York City in 1999. For grouse, recent studies show that chicks infected with the virus either die very quickly or die in the following weeks from heart or brain damage. As the study continues, hunters are still able to take two grouse per day during the season, which has been shortened accordingly since 2017. Source: The Tribune Democrat Waterfowl Deaths in Iowa Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) reported on the alarming night 200 migrating waterfowl were killed by vehicles. “A unique weather phenomenon caused migrating waterfowl in northwest Iowa to mistake wet parking lots and roads with wetlands and marshes… resulting in hundreds being struck and killed by vehicles. Situations similar to this one have been known to occur when you have extremely cold weather that collides with a strong front,” said Orrin Jones, state waterfowl biologist for IDNR. “This is a unique, one-time event that there’s nothing much we could do about and should be over now.” The deaths included individuals of several different species: mostly bluebills, but also mallards, buffleheads, and teal.

The proposition passed with a 50.91 percent majority, or 1,590,138 votes in favor of reintroduction. Gray wolves were present throughout the U.S., including Colorado, before the arrival of Europeans in North America. By the 1930s, gray wolves were eradicated from most of the western U.S. Colorado is the first state to reintroduce wolves at the direction of voters rather than the state’s wildlife biologists. The Colorado Wildlife Commission in 2016 rejected a proposal to reintroduce wolves, pointing to potential threats to the state’s big game population and livestock industry. Source: Ballotpedia

21BIGGAME.ORG | DALLAS SAFARI CLUB NEWS DECEMBER 2020 | 21 BIGGAME.ORG HUNTING FEATURE Hunting at 90-Something BY EDWIN “ELI” J. WHITNEY MD, DSC LIFE MEMBER
first met Vito Cellini 20 years ago when he was 77. I am a cardiologist and he had lots of medical issues which I was able Ito correct. He has done amazingly well. He is a gunsmith and inventor with 19 patents related mostly to firearms. He is a veteran of WWII and actually fought for the Partisans in Yugoslavia. He was a soldier under Tito, and there has been a book written about him called Cellini, Freedom Fighter. Vito has hunted and fished most of his life. We began hunting together, and have traveled from Alaska to Namibia, fishing and hunting together for the past 20 years. Unfortunately, he suddenly and unexpectedly lost total vision in his right eye from a condition called central retinal artery occlusion. He is right handed and this had naturally stopped him from hunting. However, Vito accompanied me on a red stag hunt in early October 2020 at the Record Buck Ranch near Utopia Texas. This white-tailed deer and exotic game ranch has 20,000 acres, and, due to its size, the hunting is fantastic. We hunted long and hard for two days but did not get any stags in the 400 class that I was seeking. We called a lot but the big boys did not come in. We saw several bucks but nothing I was interested in. As we were driving back to the lodge on the second day, Glenn Erskine, our guide, saw an old black Hawaiian ram 100 or more yards from the road. We stopped and sat Vito on the ground with shooting sticks. I gave him my .375 Winchester H&H Mag with Vito Cellini (left) and author (right) with blackbuck a stabilizer on the end to reduce both kick and noise. The wind was blowing in our faces and the sky was overcast. Vito used his left eye and his left hand and took the shot. The ram went down instantly, never to get up. The look on Vito’s face was priceless. He thought he would never hunt again. The ram turned out to be over 10 years old. On the third day of the hunt, we walked through the ranch with Glenn making bull and cow calls. Glenn saw a large red stag about 120 yards away in thick brush facing away from us. I got on the sticks and waited for him to turn. After 20 minutes, Glenn encouraged me to take the “Texas Heart Shot”. With the power of the .375 he went down. We watched him for another 20 minutes when he finally stood up, and I was able to make the final shot. Down he went. With Vito’s confidence strong after shooting the Black Hawaiian Ram, we got him on a blackbuck antelope in another part of the ranch. Vito shot it off the sticks while sitting with the .375. It jumped and ran only 10 yards. I hope I am doing what Vito is doing when I turn 77! CT
