DSC AUCTION SPOTLIGHT #7
7 weeks until Heritage 2020 and with Turkey Day fast approaching, it only makes sense to serve up two offerings for Spotlight #7. So let’s talk TURKEY as we present our first featured item, which takes us a bit off the beaten path (or any path for that matter).
But, despite what you might be thinking, we’re not talking about the two-legged version and guest of honor at our Thanksgiving celebrations. No way! We’re talking about a country…the diverse and beautiful TURKEY! Or more commonly known as ‘The Pearl of Little Asia’ with its great mountain landscapes, moderate temperatures, friendly people and outstanding trophy quality.
Shikar Safaris welcomes one lucky winner to experience 7 days hunting Anatolian bezoar ibex on these ancient, rich hunting grounds favored for centuries by early civilizations such as the Hittites, Romans and Ottomans. One of many amazing items offered in the EXPO Silent Auction during Convention, but available NOW for early online bidding at: DSC SILENT AUCTION & RAFFLES.
