Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide. Advocate: Since 2000, SCI has spent $140 million on protecting the freedom to hunt through policy advocacy, litigation, and education for federal and state legislators to ensure hunting is protected for future generations. Through direct involvement and partnerships with like-minded organizations, SCI has become a political force in Washington, D.C. Connect: When you become a member of SCI, you join a network of over 55,000 like-minded individuals all over the world. In your local community there may already be an official SCI chapter. Working side by side, holding similar attitudes about the importance and responsibility of being a hunter, SCI members make a tangible difference through conservation efforts in their communities and voicing their concerns to representatives who take them to the floors of Washington. Educate: The weekly E-Newsletters In The Crosshairs and Hunt Now! provide breaking news, legal issues, government actions, product reviews, and exciting stories of the hunt, to more than 45,000 members. Through our publications, Safari Magazine and Safari Times, we keep you up to date on events and board actions as well, teach you some tips and techniques, and stories about other membersˊ hunting expeditions. Represent: SCI members help shape and promote the image of the hunter to non-hunters through their words and actions. In addition to practicing ethical hunting while in the field and around others, members can give back by participating in humanitarian efforts taking place across the globe through the affiliated charitable organization, Safari Club International Foundation.

Coming soon: a NEW app for Pennsylvania hunters!

Launching in 2027, the HuntFishPA app will include several features to provide more convenient options and make information more accessible to hunters, including:

Digital licenses in one place
E-tagging and harvest reporting
Interactive maps with layers to find state game lands and more near you
What’s in season by location and species
Ability to update personal and contact information

As we prepare to launch the new HuntFishPA mobile app, the Pennsylvania Game Commission app has been deactivated.

The app is no longer available to download from the Apple Store or Google Play, and links within existing downloads will be removed to prevent access to outdated information.

In the meantime, hunters can view their licenses on huntfish.pa.gov. Physical harvest tags still need to be carried in the field for the 2026-27 season.

Stay tuned for more updates!

09/06/2026

When the Safari Club International 3 State Chapter had the opportunity to help make Connor’s dream of hunting an Alaska-Yukon moose come true, we knew this was something special.

But after reading about his journey, we realize just how much more than a hunt this truly was.

Connor has faced challenges that most of us can only imagine. Yet throughout his health battle, he has continued to show an incredible amount of strength, courage, faith, and perseverance. Those same qualities followed him into the Alaskan wilderness.

Alaska certainly didn’t make it easy. Weather prevented the crew from reaching camp on their first attempt, and once they finally made it into the remote wilderness, the challenges continued. But Connor didn’t quit.

He kept going.

And then came the moment everyone had been hoping for…

🫎 A MAGNIFICENT 72+ INCH ALASKA-YUKON BULL MOOSE! 🫎

What an incredible accomplishment for an incredible young man.

As hunters, we know how special it is to experience an animal like this. But when you know the story behind the hunter standing beside that animal, the significance goes far beyond the size of the antlers.

This was about a dream coming true.
It was about making memories.
It was about overcoming adversity.
It was about giving Connor an experience he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

The Safari Club International 3 State Chapter is incredibly proud and grateful to have been able to play a part in making this opportunity possible. This is exactly why we believe so strongly in supporting youth and introducing them to the outdoors. Sometimes, the greatest thing we can give someone isn’t something that can be wrapped in a box, it’s an experience, a memory, and a story they can keep forever.

A heartfelt thank-you to Holy Pursuits Dream Foundation, and everyone else who worked behind the scenes to make Connor’s dream hunt happen. It takes a tremendous amount of generosity, time, planning, and dedication to put something like this together.

And above all, we thank God for watching over Connor and everyone involved and for allowing this incredible adventure to unfold.

Connor, congratulations! You didn’t just harvest an amazing moose.

You conquered a dream. 🫎🏔️

We are honored that the SCI 3 State Chapter could be part of your story, and we hope this is just one of many incredible adventures still ahead for you.

Dream hunt accomplished. ❤️

Saturday night was an incredible night for the Safari Club International 3-State Chapter and the impact our community can make together. Because of the generosity of everyone who attended our banquet, we were proud to present donations to Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Holy Pursuits Dream Foundation, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

These organizations each play an important role in supporting our heroes, uplifting others through the outdoors, and protecting the wildlife and hunting heritage we care so deeply about.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and supported this event, this is because of you. Your generosity continues to make a difference far beyond one night.
