GOLDEN STATE BOWHUNTERS CHAPTER SAFARI CLUB INTERNATIONAL

Welcome to the Golden State Bowhunters Chapter of Safari Club International's Webpage! Please take a moment to browse the page and learn a little about our chapter. We appreciate your comments, and we will try to respond to all comments and inquires. Thank you for your interest in our chapter, and please support wildlife conservation.


Conservation

Our members support wildlife conservation efforts throughout the world through the purchase of hunting licenses, permits and the payment of hunting fees. These expenditures are direct contributions, which help wildlife in their range habitat. Member dues also support wildlife conservation and hunting related programs throughout the world as Safari Club International (SCI) is a world leader in protecting hunting rights and helping range countries to develop and implement programs for the benefit of wildlife and the native human population which must share and, in many cases, compete for vital habitat. Some of SCI's many programs include:

Chapter Meetings

Our chapter meetings are a great place to gather with others who share your interest in hunting, wildlife, and shooting sports. Our meetings are also a great place to learn about new bowhunting & hunting opportunities, outfitters, guides, and so forth. Our members have hunted throughout the world for a wide range of species including, for example, bear, sheep, elk, moose, caribou, Cape Buffalo, kudu, ibex, and of course, deer.

Membership meetings are generally held throughout the year (see calendar of events) with the annual fundraiser. Meetings begin with a social hour followed by dinner and programs.
