Safari Club International Alaska Chapter

Safari Club International Alaska Chapter SCI Fights for your right to hunt! Join and be part of the only team that stood on a National Level to Fight Federal Subsistence Closures'! First for hunters!

First For Conservation! https://aksafariclub.org/ What we do:

First For Hunters: SCI is the leading sportsman’s advocacy group in the world and together, SCI’s Alaska Chapters lead the effort to preserve the freedom to hunt here in Alaska. Both SCI Alaska Chapter and SCI Kenai Chapter led the effort to sustain wolf management for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Both chapters helped form

the Sportsman’s Caucus in the state legislature and both chapters have a representative sitting on the Caucus Advisory Council. When you join SCI Alaska Chapter, you will become part of an elite fraternity of hunters. Hunters who care about wildlife and the future of hunting! SCI ADVOCACY: - "Putting Hunters First" http://www.aksafariclub.org/advocacy

First For Education: SCI AK Chapter strongly supports outdoor and conservation education from the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program to youth shooting leagues. SCI has been at the forefront supporting Department of Fish and Game education programs, as well as programs like the American Wilderness Leadership School where classroom teachers learn the important conservation facets of hunting. http://www.aksafariclub.org/education

First For Wildlife: At the beginning of the last century, many wildlife species in America had been reduced to alarmingly low numbers. Sportsmen and women led by the day’s leading conservationists such as President Teddy Roosevelt, created the most successful conservation effort ever known. Fueled by dollars from hunters, several species came back from the brink and now flourish here in North America. SCI Alaska Chapter is proud to continue that heritage with its efforts supporting ADF&G wildlife and research projects like wild sheep research and the wood bison restoration project with the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage. http://www.aksafariclub.org/conservation

SCI’s Humanitarian Efforts: SCI Alaska Chapter is pleased to support America’s heroes. The Wounded Warriors on Safari is one example of our humanitarian efforts. Our Safari initiative has sent deserving veterans on hunting or fishing trips all over the world. http://www.aksafariclub.org/humanitarian

Wildlife management decisions should be guided by science, not politics.

For decades, Alaska's fish and game populations have been managed using rigorous biological data, population surveys, harvest information, and the expertise of professional wildlife managers. These science-based practices have helped make Alaska one of the world's leading conservation success stories. When wildlife managers determine populations are healthy and harvest levels are sustainable, those findings should carry significant weight in the decision-making process. That’s why when restrictions are imposed without clear biological justification, hunters, families, and communities across Alaska are affected.

🚨ACTION REQUIRED! 🚨

The Federal Subsistence Board recently closed moose hunting in GMU 13 and GMU 25 to all non-federally qualified hunters despite data from Alaska Department of Fish and Game - Official showing that game populations meet and exceed federal regulations.

If you believe wildlife management should be driven by science and that Alaskans deserve a voice in decisions impacting access to public lands, submit a Request for Reconsideration to have the Federal Subsistence Board restore balance, follow the law, and protect fair access for Alaskans.

Submit your request using the language on our website: https://bit.ly/4uuMmGd

06/09/2026

From the wilds of Alaska to the steps of our nation’s capitol, we advocate for ALL hunters' rights and access to public lands. Over the past year, we have met with legislators in Juneau and Washington D.C., supported legal and lobbying efforts through Safari Club International - SCI worked with partners across the state, and provided input on an SCI National petition for rulemaking aimed at bringing greater accountability, transparency, and science-based decision-making to federal hunting closures.

One of our highest priorities is pushing back against Federal Subsistence Board actions that continue to limit practical access to millions of acres of public land across Alaska. Recent closures in Game Management Units 25D and 13B have raised serious concerns among hunters, local communities, and state wildlife managers.

In response, we worked with the Alaska lawmakers who recently sent a letter to Secretary Doug Burgum at the U.S. Department of the Interior requesting a full legal and policy review of these closures under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The letter asks the Department to ensure federal actions are grounded in law, sound wildlife management, and meaningful public involvement.

Thank you Sen. Cathy Tilton, Senator Mike Cronk, Senator George Rauscher, Rob Yundt for State Senate District N, Representative Garret Nelson, Rep. Steve St. Clair, Representative Rebecca Schwanke and Representative Kevin Mccabe for your listening to and advocating for hunters’ rights.

BIG NEWS FOR ALASKA ACCESS AND STATEHOOD RIGHTS!

The Bureau of Land Management issued four historic navigability decisions affirming Alaska's ownership of submerged lands beneath navigable waterways. These decisions represent an important step toward recognizing rights Alaska has held since Statehood and reducing long-standing disputes over who controls our rivers and waterways. These developments would not have happened without SCI AK’s efforts and your strong support!

Why does this matter?

In Alaska, rivers are our roads. Access to hunting, fishing, recreation, and public lands often depends on the ability to travel navigable waterways. When ownership and jurisdiction are unclear, Alaskans face uncertainty about access, management, and use of these public resources.

For years, the State of Alaska has fought costly legal battles to confirm ownership of submerged lands beneath navigable waters. These new decisions help move that process forward and reinforce the principle that Alaska should manage lands and waters granted to the state at Statehood.
SCI Alaska has consistently advocated for:

✔ Protecting access to public lands
✔ Confirming Alaska's ownership of navigable waters
✔ Defending State management of fish and wildlife
✔ Ensuring federal agencies respect ANILCA and Statehood rights

This is a positive development, but more work remains. As federal land closures continue to affect practical access across large portions of Alaska, clarifying ownership and management authority is an important part of protecting opportunities for all Alaskans.

The Minto Flats Wood Bison Introduction

Here are some of the 1st sightings of the wood bison along the Minto this spring. Bison have fared well considering that they experienced a tough winter with record breaking snowfall. This is a great sign of things to come.

Our kids and our grandkids will likely get a chance to hunt them just as we have hunted Sitka Blacktail deer, Mountain Goats, Plains Bison and benefited from all the other great conservation projects that have created opportunity for our generation.

SCI Alaska Chapter is proud to be part of introducing them to the Minto Flats area.

Federal public lands in Alaska belong to all Alaskans. Take Action Now! Sign the Petition: https://form.jotform.com/kenaisci/online-petition2026
Current Federal Subsistence Board closures are shutting out many hunters from lands that were meant to remain accessible unless restrictions are truly necessary for conservation and subsistence continuation under ANILCA.
SCI Alaska Chapters are asking the Department of the Interior to review these closures and ensure decisions are based on law, science, and fair access — not allocation politics.
