The only difference between a poacher and a trophy hunter is money and status.
Safari Club International (SCI) is both the world's largest trophy hunting organization and the largest Sportsmen-led Political Action Committee in America. SCI was the only hunting group to assist bear trophy hunters in the State of Florida with getting the 2015 Florida Black Bear Trophy Hunt approved. On Thursday, October 1, 2015, a Florida state court denied a request filed by Florida group, Speak Up Wekiva, to shut down Florida’s first black bear hunt in decades. As a result of the ruling, the hunt took place on October 24th.
SCI assisted in defending Florida's black bear trophy hunt stating that stopping the hunt would harm SCI members and the general Florida hunting community.
It's time to remove the "Con" in conservation, join the fight!
