The mission of SCI is to protect the freedom to hunt and to promote wildlife conservation worldwide. The purposes of SCI are....

  • To advocate, preserve and protect the rights of all hunters.
  • To promote safe, legal and ethical hunting and related activities.
  • To advocate within the limits imposed by law and regulation.
  • To monitor, support, or otherwise take positions on local, national and international legislative, executive, judicial or organizational endeavors that foster and support SCI's mission and purposes.

  • Develop, edit, and analyze legislation.
  • Defend federal actions, rules, plans and policies in federal and state courts.
  • Alert and generate support for federal and state legislation through our communications network.
  • Support candidates in federal and state races throughout the country.
