Bring the Wild Inside: Safari Lifestyle

 

Since January is the time for all the huge Safari Expositions across the country I thought we would revisit a post I did for the Women’s Outdoor News on how to Bring the Wild Inside with Safari Lifestyle!  You can read my full post at the WON archives: http://www.womensoutdoornews.com/2015/06/tips-from-rita-schimpff-on-the-art-of-the-safari-lifestyle

The following vignette I made from vintage family sporting memorabilia, books and letters, it was used by Safari Club International for convention advertising.

We are discovering Safari Lifestyle in Art & Display over at the Women’s Outdoor News – from paintings to taxidermy.  Is your safari style traditional or eclectic?

HGM at the Alamo SCI Awards Banquet

On Jan. 11, 2011, Heritage Game Mounts exhibited at the Alamo SCI Awards Banquet.  As a new member of the chapter it was wonderful to meet the people that make that organization such a success and made me feel so welcome. I enjoyed meeting all my fellow exhibitors, especially Werner van der Walt of Cheetau Safaris and Grant Evridge of Heart of Texas Trophy Whitetails who were both so kind to assist me in setting up my first trade booth.

The whitetails the Evridge family displayed were really exceptional.
