(Houston, TX- June 2, 2020) Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) and “Hunting 

Matters” welcomes outdoor personality Razor Dobbs. To say Razor is a passionate hunter is an understatement.

A survivor of a wild boar attack and a nearly fatal elephant charge, he lives the highs and perils of hunting that he dreamed about when he was a kid. Razor is recognized for being one of the most talented pistol hunters on the planet. The book, The Custom 1911, published by Gun Digest, states that Razor is a “Handgun Hunting Sensation” due to his 20 years of successfully taking a huge number of game including being the first person to kill an African Cape Buffalo with a 10mm auto pistol (Razor has killed two Cape buffalo with the 10mm auto pistol). Razor has taken more big game with the 10mm auto pistol than anyone. Over the past 25 years of hunting with the 10mm auto, Razor has successfully hunted desert mule deer, elk, whitetail, Cape buffalo, nilgai antelope, zebra, hogs, turkey, waterbuck, wildebeest, red lechwe, gemsbok, springbok, and many other species.

“Hunting Matters” airs each Saturday from 6am-7am on KPRC AM 950 – Real Texas, Real Talk, a Houston iHeartMedia station and Houston’s longest running radio station. It is also downloadable in podcast format. For more information, sign up for the free HSCF newsletter here or visit wehuntwegive.org/huntingmatters.
