What SCI is All About Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and in promoting wildlife conservation worldwide. Providing value to members by shaping policies and legislation that protect the freedom to hunt locally, nationally and internationally. Keeping members informed regarding issues that impact hunting while educating and entertaining members with engaging articles about the rich heritage of hunting in all forms of media. Providing a community for hunters worldwide where camaraderie is enjoyed and expert information is exchanged, and where members are able to participate in a market for quality hunting goods and services. Promoting a positive image of hunters and portraying them as responsible citizens who fund wildlife conservation, education and other programs which benefit the community.
Welcome When you work hard and put in the extra effort, good things happen! That is exactly what your Flint SCI board members has done this past year. Myself and a few board members just returned from the convention Dennis Gepfrey in Las Vegas and upon our return we brought President Safari Club International back 2 awards. We received the Fundraiser and Flint Regional Chapter Newsletter Publication award and the “TOP GUN” award for 2017. I am very happy and proud of the accomplishments that have made on behalf of this board. You should all be as proud as I am to be a member of this Chapter. Congratulations Flint Regional Chapter! Prior to going out to convention your board has been working on this Fundraising Event to make it bigger and better than last year. We have 3 new board members that are on board now and helping us to be successful once again. The transition is slowly taking place and hopefully with very few hiccups moving forward. It is always difficult to maintain past practices and keep things problem free when your team changes. Please hang in there and help us work through this transition. Talking about transitions, in July you will be getting a new President. Dennis Peters will be taking over the reins as my term comes to an end. When you see him, please congratulate him on his next venture and support him. He will be a good leader! I wish him well and good luck! There are other positions that are up for re-election in June as well, good luck to them. As a member of the SCI Flint Regional Chapter we invite all of you to take advantage of everything that we have to offer. Come join us at our events, dinners, awards and membership meetings. We enjoy meeting with you and talking about hunting, fishing or anything that may be of interest or concern to you. We want you to be involved and are always looking for volunteers for our projects and events. If you are interested contact us and we will put you to work. I want to say that as President of the SCI Flint Regional Chapter I am thankful for this experience and enjoyed my terms on this board. I have meet a lot of great people, made a lot of friends and enjoyed making good things happen for our community. I enjoyed all of the young people and their stories at the Youth Deer Pole at Madden’s, such an exciting event! The Buck Pole and recruiting teachers for our AWLs program in Wyoming. Meeting all of our Wish hunter’s and Veterans that participated in hunts sponsored by us. So many great memories! Again, keep supporting the SCI and this Chapter because it is worth every penny Be safe and good luck.

Sportsmen Against Hunger
I would like to update you on our 2017 donations of deer that we received during the year. This year was better than the last two years as we donated over 2,300 lbs to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan. 107 deer were donated and processed. I asked for donations from all of the young hunters at our Youth Hunt Deer Pole and also everyone that attended our Buck Pole. You do know that we will accept any kind of meat for a donation, and any amount! Our Sportsmen Against Hunger campaign is on all year long, 24 / 7. I will continue my efforts to gather as much food as I possibly can to help feed the people in and around our community. I am asking for some help from all of to do the same. If you hit a deer or see a deer laying on the side of the road, please call 911 and report it. They will contact me, or sometimes pick it up and deliver it to the processor themselves. It is sad seeing them laying on the road side, but even sadder that they lay there for weeks and rot away. That is such a waste and it doesn’t look good either! Anything you can do to is appreciated and can make a big impact, no matter how small of gesture. I am also open to any ideas or suggestions from you that can help make this bigger and better. I want to stock the shelves so full that Bill Kerr will have to either buy more shelves or add onto his building again! My mission is to feed anyone that needs help feeding their families and to help them get back onto their feet. I know that I can’t help them all, but I will do my best to try! This is important to me, and SCI. We are American citizens, this is what we do; help people all over the world. I need you to help me and our neighbors. Pass the word on, this year is going to be record breaking for donations. With all of you on board and helping me, we can’t fail! So, with everything being said, you get the point! I can’t make it any plainer than that. Let’s help make this a reality, and help our community. Thanks for listening, now let’s go to work! Have a great and safe New Year!

Wish Hunt for Sneaky Pete
When I first arrived at High Rack Ranch on Friday night, I was introduced to the chef, Jacob, and our guides, Devin and Curtis. The first thing we did was sit down to dinner; Jacob had cooked an amazing pork tenderloin. After dinner, we explored the ranch, got settled in our rooms, and went to bed knowing it would be an early morning.
I woke up at 6:00 AM the next morning to get ready to go out to the woods. We had a quick breakfast and headed out. It was about 7:00 by the time we got to our blind. We spooked several deer on the way to the blind. Shortly after sunrise, a good-sized shooter buck stepped out about fifteen yards away and repeatedly sniffed our footprints. It was too close to the blind to open the window and get the gun ready; eventually the deer walked away. As we were watching other bucks bedded down at about 350 yards, Devin pointed out the original buck had returned about ten yards to the right of the blind. It slowly worked its way up the very edge of the woods on our right. The buck started to come out of the woods, so Devin grunted at
it, causing the deer to look at us and run away. After about 30 minutes, the buck returned again about 300 yards away straight ahead of us. The buck, or Sneaky Pete as we nicknamed him, began to work his way toward us. Eventually Pete was in shooting range, but still walking straight toward us; he would not turn broadside! When Pete was within 30 yards, he started quickly walking to the woods at the right. I moved to put the gun out that window, and waited for Pete to appear. He did and began walking on the ridge about forty yards away. When Pete got to a clear shooting lane, Devin grunted until he finally stopped, and I shot. Pete ran about ten yards, stopped, stiffened, and fell over. It turns out that I double-lunged the deer. We all started giving each other high-fives in the blind. I did not realize how big Pete was until I got up close to him. He was a 13-point buck and was over 200 pounds. After shooting my deer, we went back to the lodge and had a “breakfast�, at 12:30ish. We relaxed for the rest of the day watching football and enjoying the ranch. Saturday night we took a deer run just before sunset. Sunday morning we packed up to head home. It was definitely a great experience and I really appreciate everything that Zach and the Safari Club did for me. I had a blast all weekend!

SCI Blue Bag travels to....... Africa…….. My wife Alice and I were warned before we made our first trip to South Africa in 2008 that we would likely be planning a return trip during our flight home. Actually, that was not quite true for us. We began anticipating another visit to Africa well before that. Traveling into the bush and seeing the many animals in their native habitat was wonderful.
Seeing zebras grazing across the savannah or watching Wildebeests playing was amazing. The sight of giraffes feeding on the tops of thorn trees or with front legs splayed so they can drink meant that we took photo after photo. It was awesome to see giant elephants magically disappear into the bush. How can something that large seemingly vanish? We saw lions in the wild and came to realize why they are called the “king of the beasts”. Yes, for someone who enjoys hunting and the outdoors the country of South Africa is a marvelous place. While traveling between hunting locations or lodges we also saw some of the parts of South Africa that are not so nice. From a distance we saw the townships and a few of the native schools. From what we observed if you are among the white population life is probably very good. However, if you are black, life is often not so good and many people live in or very near to poverty. One needs to actually see some of the townships to appreciate how awful they really are. Some families live in an 8 x 8 or 8 x 10 shack with a corrugated roof that may or may not have a door. Many live without electricity and water is often only available some distance away. It brings new awareness to the many things that we take for granted that so many others cannot access. While we enjoyed our visit to South Africa immensely, seeing the disparity of lifestyles was painful. We concluded that we should explore opportunities to help during our return trip in April of 2011. 20 | 2018 Wild Game Dinner and Fundraiser | www.sciflint.com
Being a member of Safari Club International, I explored the Blue Bag Program through the SCI Foundation. In this program hunters are encouraged to take a SCI blue bag with them as luggage. The idea is that this bag can be filled with humanitarian supplies for those less fortunate. This seemed like the perfect mechanism for us to do what we wanted, and I set about investigating how to make it happen. Eva Wilson, Humanitarian Services Mgr and Keith Estes the SafariCare Coordinator for the Flint Chapter gave us great information and got us pointed in the right direction. Working through our outfitter, Somerby Safaris and Bayala, the lodge where we would stay, we were able to contact the Velakukhanya Primary school in the Zululand District of the Province of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The school has approximately 450 learners in grades K-7 and is an Eco school. This means that in addition to the normal curriculum the learners also explore the environment, flora and fauna. They are taught how to take care of their environment and why it is important. We contacted Claire Hawkey, the area coordinator for the school, who helped us identify items that the school really needed (which was almost everything) and helped us coordinate our visit. Our initial plan was that Alice and I would do this project on our own. When we mentioned our plans to a few friends and members of our church the response was often “we would like to help”. Seeing that there was a desire to support the project we promised everyone that if they chose to donate, 100% of their donation would go to the children. Alice and I would pay any transportation expenses and would personally deliver the donations to the children. It
seemed that people were very anxious to help when they knew that their donation would go directly to help people without any administration fees or overhead. We also made a decision that we would take only new items and would not take any clothing. As we made a few contacts and word spread donations began to come. Our dentist
teachers for use as needed. The soccer balls were a huge hit as were the Frisbees. The smaller children each received a beanie baby stuffed toy. The looks on their faces as they accepted the beanie babies were priceless. It was especially touching when they finally understood that the toys were theirs to keep. They actually had something that really belonged to them. These children have virtually nothing. Often they share pencils or other very basic supplies because there is so little. Not only do these children have nothing to do school work many are also orphans. The HIV epidemic has hit the area very hard. While assembled the children sang several songs for us and to me the finest choir I have ever heard was no more beautiful than the sound of those young voices singing for all they were worth. Smiles were everywhere among the both learners and the teachers. It was at this point that I realized we had received far more than we had given.
donated many toothbrushes and toothpastes and helped us buy additional at reduced prices. A local sports supplier who primarily works with schools helped us purchase soccer balls for much less than normal. They also donated pumps to inflate them upon arrival. Office Depot sold us pencils, crayons, scissors and the like for reduced prices. Many people donated money or specific items that were requested for the school. One family donated a large number of Beanie Baby stuffed toys that their children, who had since grown and moved away, had collected as children. They were new and most still had the tags. Several people donated money specifically for the purchase of school books. Everything donated to the school was purchased here in the U.S. except notebook paper (due to weight) and school books (due to language) which were purchased in South Africa. While I went to South Africa to hunt the visit to the school was a highlight of the entire trip. We arrived in the school yard a bit before the appointed time to unpack the supplies and make ready for the children. Kids from every class anxiously peered through their windows to see the visitors. All learning came to a complete halt. When we were finally ready the children lined up in the school yard by grade. Each received a bag with note paper, pencils, tooth paste and a tooth brush. Each also received a few pieces of hard candy. They needed a reason for the tooth brush, after all! The rest of the supplies were given to the
About this time it was noon and time for the learners to have lunch. Lunch consisted of a small helping of beans and rice prepared with water that the teachers and staff had brought with them and cooked over a fire. You see, the school has no electricity or water. While the kids had lunch I stood in the middle of the school yard by myself thinking how blessed we were to have experienced this visit. As I stood there alone a small boy came up to me and wanted to shake my hand. Then another and another and another. Soon I was surrounded by laughing, smiling children all wanting to shake my hand. Not one hand was missed and I had the best time of anyone. I couldn’t help but think of the story of the widow’s mite in the Bible where Jesus points out the poor widow who puts two coins in the box. In the story many others in the temple had given far more money out of their wealth but the widow with her two coins had given all she had. In this case we had given to the children out of our abundance but the children gave us all they had.Yes, we had brought much needed supplies and toys. The children with their smiles, their handshakes, their hugs and their laughter had given us far better gifts. They had given us gifts that we will remember for a lifetime.

2018 AUCTION LIST SOME SPECIAL NOTES ON OUR HUNTS & TRIPS 1. Upgrading your hunt, while not required, is certainly appreciated by our donors. If you do not want to add another animal, consider bringing along a friend. This really helps out these outfitters and hunting companies that are trying to help us! With few exceptions, these donors are not wealthy philanthropists, but rather they donate to help wildlife, ensure the future of our sport, and generate new business for themselves. Please do what you can to help! 2. If you buy a hunt at our auction that the donor fails to provide for you, through no fault of your own,we will make arrangements for a replacement hunt or we will issue you a credit. If you simply find it inconvenient to go on the dates available, or change your mind for some reason, then it is to be worked out between you and the outfitter. The buyer is responsible for communicating directly with the outfitter to confirm dates and details. 3. Different hunts include or specify different things, such as meals, lodging, transportation, weapon type, (gun, bow, or either), available dates, etc. Please read the descriptions carefully.As a general rule, hunting licenses are not included, unless on an enclosed game ranch. On Canadian hunts, there may be a Goods and Services Tax added to the selling price of the donated hunt (approximately 7%). 4 We do our best to solicit donated hunts only from competent outfitters. However, we do not guarantee the quality or success of any hunt purchased at this auction. All of this said, it is important to note that hunts purchased at our auction generally go very well, with both the donor and the buyer being well satisfied. Certain trips such as mountain hunts or spot and stalk hunts require a high level of physical fitness to maximize the opportunity for success. Other trips, such as game ranch hunts,are not physically demanding. 5. Please report the results of your donated hunt on the form included in your buyer’s packet. We really would like to know how it went. We also would like to encourage all buyers to submit photos and/or a complete story for publication in our chapter’s newsletter. 6. All sales and prizes are subject to state and federal taxes including sales tax. 7. If you are unable to attend our live auction in person and wish to place bids for live auction items, you may submit a bid online by establishing an account and providing payment information through our third party online auction representative. One of our representatives will then try to purchase your items of choice at the lowest price, but never for more than the top amount that you indicate. To place an absentee bid online, you will need to provide in advance a pre-approved credit card or other method of payment. 8. GUNS: If you win a gun raffle or auction and you cannot legally own a gun or pass the NICKS check; all that you will be awarded is the refund of your ticket price. 9. NOTE: The SCI Flint Board Members will be participating in the raffles and auction.
Minimum Bid:
Auction Items marked with minimum bids have a reserve price. These items will be sold only if the reserve (or minimum) price is met. The high bidder will have the first opportunity to purchase the item at the reserve price if the minimum bid is not reached.

Special Notes:
The quality of bucks harvested over the past years has been the same in both the early and the late season. We have a 75% success rate on trophy bucks scoring 160 Boone & Crockett and better. The bucks in this area have a lot of mass with deep forks. The average inside spread is 20-24 inches and the outside spread ranges from 20-30 inches with cheaters. Although our deer populations are very good, sometimes they are not visible because of the heavy treed cover which they live in. If you are looking for a trophy mule deer with mass and deep forks in British Columbia’s best mule deer hunting area, this is the place to consider for your next hunt.

Become a Chapter Member My name is Dennis Peters, the current membership director of the SCI Flint Chapter. I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for joining us this weekend during our chapter’s largest fundraising event. This event is planned each year not only to raise money but also engage and reconnect the fellow sportsmen. That being said, if you are not a member of the Flint SCI Chapter please find me during the show, because we need to get you signed up! Why? If you consider yourself a hunter, this is the easiest and best way to promote the sport and preserve it for future generations. Since 2000, SCI Foundation has provided $60 Million to promote science-based conservation through wildlife research, education, and humanitarian programs that prove the importance of the hunting community worldwide. Since 1979, SCI has spent nearly $400 Million on hunter advocacy and wildlife conservation As you can see, each and every member contributes to these supporting efforts to help make a global impact. I strongly encourage memberships not because it is my job but because it is my passion. We must protect the habitats and protect our freedom to hunt.
