A conservationist’s cry.

Terry Anderson

How hunting saves animals.

Dallas Safari Club worked with Namibian wildlife officials to auction a hunt of a black rhino, the most endangered of the rhino species. They expected to raise as much as $1 million from the auction with 100 percent of the proceeds going to rhino conservation efforts. Read More

The ultimate pursuit in hunting: sheep.

Permits to hunt bighorn sheep are auctioned for hundreds of thousands of dollars — and that money has helped revive wild sheep populations and expand their territory. Read More

Zuckerberg: animals taste better ‘when you’ve hunted them yourself’.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wants people who eat meat to hunt for their own food, or at least get familiar with where their dinner lives. Watch Now

Shane Mahoney

Why hunting always matters.

Since our beginnings as a species, we have relied directly upon wild creatures for our survival. To sustain our lives and communities, it was inescapable that, like all natural phenomena, human beings would engage directly in the life-and-death struggles that mark the essential and irreducible truth of existence.

DSC, DSC Foundation, Frontline Foundation Fight Poaching An article in The New York Times last fall highlighted the often forgotten dangers faced by individuals who put their lives at risk to help protect wildlife and end poaching in Africa. Read More

DSC and DSCF’s response to the Leopard petition DSC and DSCF to Fish and Wildlife: African Leopard Up-Listing Not Warranted DSC and DSC Foundation (DSCF) have joined a long list of conservation and hunting groups in submitting a united and official comment to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for the Endangered Species Act (ESA) status review of the African leopard.

In Response to Responsive Management- Hunters’ Contributions to U.S. Wildlife Conservation “Hunters do nothing for conservation”. That is a quote from a comment on DSC Foundation’s post about lion hunting and lion conservation. We all immediately recognize the absurdity of the comment, but it is often the default retort from the anti-hunting crowd and too often we let it slide without rebuttal. Read More

Safari Club International offers tremendous benefits to both Chapters and members. The more that Chapters and members take advantage of everything SCI has to offer, the more value SCI has to them. With these tools, SCI and its Chapters and members are better equipped to protect the freedom to hunt and promote wildlife conservation worldwide.

SCI is unlike any other organization of hunters in the world. This is particularly true when it comes to local Chapters. SCI Chapters are not subdivisions of the club as is the case with other hunter organizations. Rather, SCI Chapters are freestanding corporations that are tied to SCI by a form of licensing.

When subdivisions of other organizations hold local fundraisers, all or almost all of the revenue generated goes to the main organization. With SCI Chapters, the local Chapter keeps 70 percent of the proceeds from their largest fundraiser to be used for local programs and 30 percent goes to SCI to help offset myriad expenses, including costs for many services that cannot be financed or conducted at the local level.

SCI and SCI Foundation receive about $1.6 million annually from the 30 percent Chapter contributions. About $700,000 is used to support the chapters directly. This includes the costs related to the Chapter Service Specialists, Regional Reps and the liability insurance that is provided. The remainder of the funds are used to support SCI/SCIF mission programs, which both directly and indirectly benefit Chapters and members.

Safari Club International Chapters are often referred to as the “backbone of the organization” because they do so much to advance the SCI mission. Chapters are the local face of an international group; are key when it comes to the success of membership recruitment and retention; performing the majority of conservation, education and humanitarian services projects; providing innovative ideas and best practices and playing a major role in raising funds for the organization.

In addition, chapters provide dedicated volunteers to serve on the Board of Directors and rise through the ranks of the volunteer leadership of the organization. A new member of SCI is probably surprised at all of the things that chapters do for the organization. They are likely also surprised at the list of services that SCI provides for chapters.

Bluntly, the symbiotic relationship between SCI and the hundreds of local Chapters allows members and leaders at all levels, to be more effective in protecting the freedom to hunt and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide. Local chapters benefit directly and indirectly from the work of both SCI and SCI Foundation.

Yet members often ask: Where does the money from the 30 percent that chapters send to the international organization go? What do the chapters get for that investment? There are both direct and indirect dividends to Chapters for that investment, as well as the direct and indirect dividends for individual Chapter members.
