LEADING SPOKESPERSON 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!
Wildlife management decisions should be guided by science, not politics.
Alaska’s fish and game populations have long been managed using biological data, population surveys and the expertise of professional wildlife managers. These science-based practices have helped make Alaska a global conservation success story.
The Federal Subsistence Board recently closed moose hunting in GMU 13 and GMU 25 to all non-federally qualified hunters despite data from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game showing that game populations meet and exceed federal regulations.
Help protect access to public lands and encourage Secretary Burgum and the U.S. Department of the Interior to restore balance, follow the law and protect fair access for Alaskans by submitting the Request for Reconsideration by June 26, 2026!
