The Alaska chapter of Safari Club International took a group of men from Kipnuk deer hunting last month. The hunters were evacuees from a storm that ravaged the Western Alaska coast, unleashed by Typhoon Halong. After more than a month of staying in shelters and hotel rooms in Anchorage, they were quick to accept the invitation. As KNBA's Rhonda McBride tells us, what transpired turned out to be more than just a hunt. The Safari Club and Alaska Native subsistence hunters have often been on the opposite side in debates over fish and game management. And some who have followed the politics over the years find it puzzling that the Safari Club reached out to help Kipnuk hunters displaced by the storm. But John Sturgeon, a longtime Safari Club member, says it should not be a surprise. “The Safari Club and the subsistence people are much closer together than most folks would think. We're hunters. They're hunters.” Sturgeon helped to organize the hunt. “We have the resources to help. And them eating wild game and going out after wild game is really important to them. And we just said, ‘Well, this is something we can do to help, especially at Christmas time.' So we're hoping this will make a few people happy.” What started out with five hunters snowballed. The evacuees had no clothes or gear, which they either lost in the storm or had to leave behind. Club members loaned them guns and scopes. One dug into his own pocket to outfit them for the hunt. The Safari Club bought them hunting licenses and chartered a boat from Whittier, Alaska to Montague Island, where the men took nine Sitka black-tailed deer. It's the first time Darrell John had gone hunting since an ocean surge carried his house away. “We were hunting deer on a beach, which I never ever thought I would be hunting.” “When I was gutting deer, I knew my family was going to eat something. Made me feel like I was providing for my family again.” Although John never dreamed he'd go hunting in a such in a faraway place like Prince William Sound, he suddenly felt more like his old self. When the hunters returned, they wanted to share their catch with others displaced by the storm. Suddenly plans mushroomed into a feast to feed more than 200. The Safari Club collected donations of fish and wild game, which included a seal from Kodiak Island. John's wife Lacey John knew right away what was cooking. “Seals have a strong scent. The seal that was baking. It smelled like home. I just breathed in. (laughter) ” Karson Apodaca.

KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. The Kayenta Township near Monument Valley shared joy on social media ahead of its annual Christmas market and parade at the rodeo grounds. “The parade is going to start on Navajo Route 591, which is right behind Chevron, okay? It's like you're going to the flea market here if you live in Kayenta … That one's gonna start right at 5:00 p.m., so be ready.” But about 10 minutes later, that holiday cheer came to an abrupt halt after an alleged drunk driver entered the parade route and hit four people, including a child and a pregnant woman. The Navajo Police Department confirmed three-year-old Karson Apodaca died and a suspect is in custody. The Kayenta community and guests came together to honor and remember Karson Apodaca with a peaceful vigil walk, the singing of Christmas carols, and the decoration of a Christmas tree in his honor, followed by prayer circle.

The recent drive-thru distribution included a 25 lbs. box of food, and a 15lbs box of personal care items, books, toys, and other products.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash welcomes Robbie Kroger, founder and Executive Director of The Origins Foundation, for an in-depth conversation about hunting advocacy, wildlife conservation and the sustainable use model that's shaping the future of global conservation efforts.Guest Expertise: From Wetland Scientist to Conservation AdvocateRobbie Kroger brings an unconventional background to hunting advocacy. With a PhD in wetland ecology and aquatic biogeochemistry from the University of Mississippi, six years as a professor in the Wildlife Fisheries Department at Mississippi State and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, Robbie served as chief scientist for the BP oil spill restoration framework. His science-based, measured approach to communication sets The Origins Foundation apart in the hunting advocacy space.What You'll Learn: Reframing the Conservation ConversationDiscover how The Origins Foundation communicates with non-hunters (not anti-hunters) using honesty, respect and scientific reasoning rather than emotional arguments. Robbie explains why sustainable use of wildlife isn't a silver bullet but rather one of only seven critical tools in the limited conservation toolbox. Learn why value-based wildlife management - whether protecting elephant habitat in Africa or managing wolf populations in the American West - creates incentives for local communities to coexist with wildlife rather than eliminate it.Featured Conservation Projects: Global Impact Through ActionRobbie details the world's largest cheetah relocation project, having moved 17 cheetahs into 500,000 acres of Mozambique habitat buffered by 10 million acres of protected land, with three more relocations planned for 2026. Hear about upcoming documentaries including "Sauvons Bambi" (debuting June 2026 in Paris) about European hunters using thermal drones to save roe deer fawns from farm equipment and "In My Footsteps" profiling the first scholarship recipient from a South African hunting charity who became a successful architect. The Foundation is also building schools and clinics in South Africa and Zambia while working on rhino and lion conservation initiatives.Public Lands and Management Philosophy InsightsDrawing on his experience growing up under South Africa's private wildlife ownership model, Robbie contrasts it with America's revolutionary public trust doctrine where wildlife belongs to everyone. He discusses the chronic underfunding of agencies like USFS, USFWS and BLM, arguing that public-private partnerships, biodiversity credits and creative funding models could dramatically improve stewardship. The conversation explores complex topics like fair chase ethics, social media responsibility for hunters and anglers, wolf management controversies and why both sides being upset with you often means you've found the right position.Join the ConversationThe Origins Foundation actively engages with supporters across all social media platforms, typically with Robbie responding personally to messages. Whether attending major hunting shows from Wild Sheep Foundation to Safari Club International or meeting supporters for roadside coffee in Australia, the Foundation maintains an accessible, ego-free approach focused on lifting up the entire conservation community rather than self-promotion.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

On this episode of Wild & Uncut, we're at the 2025 SCI Convention in Nashville, TN sitting down with Madison Sheahan (at the time of recording was Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries) and Maria Davison the Large Carnivore Program Manager for the SCI Foundation. We had a great discussion about an incredible conservation success story that has transpired due to the hard work of many groups and individuals, in the state of Louisiana. The season marked an end to a ban that had been in place since the late 1980s. The Louisiana bear population has rebounded thanks to conservation efforts, leading the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to re-establish a limited, lottery-based season with 11 permits issued to hunters.

In der aktuellen Episode des Podcasts ist Eva-Maria Schrittwieser zu Gast. Die österreichische Jagdreiseunternehmerin, Autorin und Präsidentin des österreichischen Chapters des Safari Club International, kurz SCI, prägt durch Ihre Arbeit den Blick auf die Jagd.
The killing of Cecil the lion by Walter Palmer in 2015 showed there are a handful of people who occasionally kill an animal for kicks, right?Wrong!20,000 endangered animals were shot by trophy hunters last year. The total figure is closer to 100,000 animals if you include unprotected species. And this number does not count animals shot by people in their own country.Safari Club International (SCI) is the world's largest trophy hunting group. In the past few years, it has handed out 20,000 prizes to members who have shot lots of animals. They include hundreds of winners of its Hunting Achievement Award who each killed over 125 different animals.SCI keeps a Record Book of the biggest animals killed by its members. There are 200,000 entries. You can buy hunting holidays on the internet to shoot any animal on the planet. If you fancy ‘big game' hunting in Africa, there are lions, elephants, rhinos, and hippos. If you prefer ‘plains game,' then you can choose a giraffe, zebra, leopard or even a cheetah.If North America is where you would like to go, you can shoot polar bears and moose. Or pumas and capybara in South America. Some people enjoy flying ‘down under.' Why not shoot camels and wallabies while you are there? The US has ranches where you can shoot zebras, kangaroos, and animals that have been hunted to extinction in the wild. There are beavers, reindeer, and seals for sale in Europe. Asian wild goats and sheep. If you go to Texas, you can even shoot wild pigs from a helicopter ... using a machine gun. Some go with their loved ones. There are father and son breaks, mother and daughter shooting trips. Fancy using a bow and arrow? There are bowhunting-only estates. And companies that specialize in shooting animals with revolvers. Many hunting companies advertise on the internet. Try googling ‘polar bear outfitter.' Or ‘lion hunting safari.' Or just ‘sheep hunting.'There are thousands of hunting holiday companies in the world today. They sell hunting package holidays for almost any species. Safari Club International's list of ‘eligible' animals covers over nine hundred species and sub-species, including endangered animals such as black rhinos, and animals you may never have heard of. Hunting companies offer dozens more species not on SCI's list, such as zebras, giraffes, monkeys, baboons. Google ‘safari hunting price list.'In “Shoot 1 Lion Get 1 Free” you will meet the owners of dozens of the world's top hunting companies, see the animals they have for sale, and learn what their customers think of it.“Shoot 1 Lion Get 1 Free" is a genuine offer promoted by a hunting company in Africa.This is a Trophy Hunting Book Trilogy:“Twenty Elephants in Seventy-Five Minutes,”“Shoot One Lion – Get One Free” & “Mainlining on Heroin" https://www.amazon.com/Shoot-One-Lion-Hunting-Industry/dp/B0FCXR6BCY#:~:text=His%20new%20trilogy%20%2D%20%22Twenty%20Elephants,sport'%2C%20selfies%20and%20souvenirs.http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

On this episode of Wild & Uncut, we sit down with the President & Founder of National Rifle League Hunter Series, Travis Ishida. Being a first generation hunter, it is easy to hear the passion he has for the sport. Being a proficient marksman and understanding what it takes to be successful in his pursuit to provide meat for his family, Travis started NRL Hunter in hopes of other hunters/shooters wanting to take their skills to the next level. Whether you're a first time competitor or it's your hundredth match, the NRL Hunter uses the excitement and stress of competition to create realistic shooting scenarios that will test the marksman and their knowledge of their equipment. The goal of "education through competition" is to help make you the most effective version of yourself; the NRL will surely do just that! NRL's mission statement: Hunting isn't merely a hobby or pastime, it is our way of life. For us, it is about community, education, and a strong foundation of ethical harvesting. It is the desire to be the most proficient hunter possible, it is this passion that has driven us to develop the NRL HUNTER series of matches. Travis is a great person and always a joy to talk with...we even took a little time to talk about the most delicious part of the hunt...the wonderful meat we harvest and bring home to enjoy all year long.

Chad sits down solo on the mic to share his thoughts about Axl, and the incredible dogs we are so blessed to hunt with. Do they even know how incredible they are? The way they make us look good in the field, how they never ask for anything in return… Just a pat on the head, a ride in the truck, and maybe a spot on the couch when the hunt is done. Do they remember all the states we've hunted together? The retrieves that earned them a standing ovation? Or do they just do it because it's who they are? Because making us happy is all they've ever wanted? This episode is all about our duck dogs. It's about their drive, their heart, and the way they make our lives better every single day. Whether they're breaking ice in the marsh or just laying by our side when we're down, they don't need to prove anything to anyone. But if only they knew just how special they really are.
