Dallas Safari Club’s CEO, Rob McCanna, recently joined the Backcountry Hunting Podcast for a special live-recorded episode during the inaugural DSC Summer Expo at the Gaylord Texan. The conversation highlighted the heart of what DSC stands for—conservation, hunting heritage, and the communities that tie it all together.
In the episode, McCanna shares stories that range from family hunting traditions chasing squirrels to pursuing elk in the backcountry. He also dives into the bigger picture of safari hunting, the role hunters play in global conservation, and why protecting our way of life is more important than ever.
Host Joseph von Benedikt described the interview as “one of the most enjoyable conversations he’s had with a top industry leader”. McCanna’s approachable style and passion for the outdoors come through clearly, as he discusses both his personal hunting experiences and his work leading DSC into the future.
The episode also looks ahead to what’s next for Dallas Safari Club, including the exciting 2026 DSC Convention & Sporting Expo—an event that continues to grow as a cornerstone for hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
Don’t miss this engaging discussion that blends personal hunting stories with a deep commitment to conservation and the hunting heritage.
