Bringing in the next generation of leaders is important if SCI and SCI Foundation are to continue growing their impact into the future. On Wednesday afternoon, January 9 SCI Foundation held its second annual Young Guns event at the Peppermill Resort. The event was hosted by C.J. and Jami Sibert, and was attended by an energetic group of up and comers, many of whom will eventually take on leadership roles In SCI and SCI Foundation, ensuring the continued viability of these groups well into the future.

“The future of hunting relies on young people getting more involved,” said SCI Foundation Executive Director Bob Benson. “Our new Young Guns group is a great way for young hunters to meet and build relationships and learn more about SCI and SCI Foundation. We look forward to seeing this new initiative grow.”

It’s a good group and yes a great start for the future. I went last year.

Just curious, how old is "young" in this context?
 
If they’d like to offer me a job, I’d be more than happy to accept.
 
im 80 and proud of it!!!!
 
If all hunters are 80, all hunting will end in a few years.

I think hunting organizations in many countries have woken up to the need to get more people under 60 into hunting.

Under 60?!?

10 year olds go deer hunting where I live.

Sounds good. Unfortunately, that is not the case in many places in Europe and North America.

Here in Finland, one good news is that more women are taking up hunting.

Also, looks like bow hunting will become legal for Moose. So far, white tail has been the largest that you could legally hunt with a bow here. That might attract people in the more densely populated areas.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
