Hello,
Can you believe spring is finally here! The Robins have returned, the
Geese are heading north and the Turkeys are gobbling and if you’re like
me, I can’t wait to go hunt the long beards of PA. If you happen to get
lucky and harvest a turkey this spring, please send your photo to Mike
Walters at [email protected] along with a short story for print in the next
newsletter and for the LVSCI website.
I want to thank everyone who attended our annual fundraiser at the
Holiday Inn on March 7th & 8th. Thanks to your generosity at the fundraiser, Lehigh Valley Chapter SCI can continue to support a variety of local programs and organizations such as the AWLS Program for teachers,
Camp Compass, Keystone Wounded Warriors, Boy Scouts of America,
The Foundation for Military Families, The NRA, County Youth Field
Days, Local Gun Clubs, LVSCI Disabled Veteran Antelope Hunt, Spirit of
Lehigh Valley (Christmas dinner at the Holiday Inn for less fortunate
families of the Lehigh Valley area), LVSCI Veteran Pheasant hunt and
many more. Each year the “Where the Money Went” is printed in either
the annual or the auction booklets at the fundraiser for everyone to see
where your dollars are being spent.
A number of individuals who did a fantastic job for the fundraiser need
to be recognized. First our Board of Directors who work tirelessly to arrange all the necessary details for an exhausting weekend of fun and excitement for the membership and their families. To RuthAnn, a special “thank
you” for your hard work organizing the silent auction for both Friday and
Saturday. Also, a “thank you” to Lois Lelko, Bob’s bride to be, for helping
“Sell Out” the Saturday Backwards Bingo game. And to everyone who
pitched in to lend a helping hand, or made donations, “thank you” as well.
Please keep watching the Lehigh Valley web site for up-dates on events
and new hunt donations for the 2015 banquet. The June board meeting is
when we elect new members onto the board so if you are interested; please
e-mail me for an application at [email protected]. There are still
a few open seats available for members who wish to volunteer some time to
help preserve our hunting heritage.

Hunting Adventures in
Old Mexico
By Don Detwiler
The story of my Mule Deer hunt in January of 2013
would hardly be appropriately told without starting
at the beginning.
I have been a turkey hunter for many years and with
many of us the dream of a slam looms large so when
I spoke to John Chitwood at a Safari Club board
meeting my appetite was whetted to finish my slam.
John had hunted with Eddie Ortega of Hunters Mexico for Gould’s turkeys and could not stop raving
about the experience so I had to give it a try. I was
rewarded with the number 3 Gould’s in the Safari
Club record book and off to Campeche we went for
the last leg of the slam, the Ocellated. The Mexico
jungles did not disappoint as my Ocellated Turkey
also made number 3 in the Safari Club record book.
These turkey hunting experiences took me thru sev-

eral different areas of Mexico and I came to enjoy
the Mexico culture and experience. I need to say that
in all of my conversations with Eddie, he assured me
that we would not have problems and he was correct.
Not only did we not have problems, I found that
traveling in Mexico was quite the opposite of what
our news media would have us believe as what I
found were friendly people everywhere I traveled.
As it happens with outfitter/client relationships,
Eddie and I developed a bond and we began having
conversations about a Desert Mule Deer/Coues Deer
hunt. I convinced several friends Dan
Soliday and Barry Yingling to join me
and plans were made to travel to the
Sonoran Desert at the end of December in 2012.
Travel plans were made and soon we
were in route to Hermosillo, Mexico.
Gun clearance at the Hermosillo airport was efficient and without incident
and we were soon unloading the truck
for an overnight stay at Eddie’s home
in Hermosillo. After a good night’s
sleep, we loaded up the trucks and began the final leg of our trip to the
ranch about an hour from Hermosillo.
Eddie hunts his ranches with care and
planning. The ranch we hunted had not
been hunted the year prior to our hunt
and Eddie’s management program is
very rewarding for his hunters as we
all took exceptional bucks. Our ranch

Hunts are conducted from “high

around 3:30 PM and we traveled the ranch roads looking
for wildlife. We saw coues

thick mesquite tree. We waited
and suddenly there he was walking broadside from one mesquite
tree to another one about 20
yards away. Again I heard
”Cuhoot, cuhoot!” from Noe.
This time there was no hesitation
and my shot was immediate. “I
think you miss” said Noe. My
reply was “I couldn’t have
missed, my crosshairs were on

SCI. The ranch we hunted had some free ranch Nilgai as well as mule deer and coues deer and for Dan
it was a two animal day, having connected on a Nilgai bull during the morning hunt. Barry’s day came
later in the hunt when he connected on another heavy
horned 170 class mulie. Along with the mule deer we
all took Javelina and we were able to spend the rest
of our time in Sonora hunting coues deer. The small
bucks and does were seen daily but the big coues
deer that Sonora is known for could not be found.
All in all this was another special and memorable
trip with Hunter’s Mexico. I truly believe that hunters are missing a great experience by allowing fears
of violence deter them from enjoying a great destination. I have now spent over 3 weeks in the past 1½
years traveling and hunting in Old Mexico without
one incident of any type of violence. The many
Mexican people and the Mexican officials who we
came in contact with could not have been nicer or
more pleasant.

easily understood. The
adult mentor would need to

Mentored adults cannot
harvest antlered deer. Antlerless deer could be taken
by using a proper, transferred antlerless license or

permit. Antlerless licenses
are valid within the wildlife-management unit for
which they were issued. DMAP permits are valid on
the specific properties for which they were issued.
Only one antlerless license and one DMAP permit
could be transferred to a mentored adult during a
given license year.
The commissioners said creation of a Mentored
Adult Hunting Program follows much study on how
to apply the successes of the Mentored Youth Hunting Program to non-hunting adults, too.

Nebraska Governor Vetoes Bill to Stop Cougar Hunting!
Safari Club International applauds Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman for vetoing LB 671, a bill that
would outlaw mountain lion hunting and eliminate the science-based management of mountain lions in Nebraska. SCI also wants to applaud the pressure Nebraskan hunters put on Governor Heineman. Without
your phone calls and support, LB 671 might have been signed into law.
This bill, LB 671, introduced by Senator Ernie Chambers, would have repealed 2012 legislation that authorized mountain lion hunting in Nebraska by allowing the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to provide permits for hunting mountain lions. Governor Heineman signed this bill into law in 2012 after it
passed in the Legislature with a vote of 49-0.
In Governor Heineman’s veto letter he acknowledges that Nebraskans expect responsible wildlife management and LB 671 eliminates a very important tool to accomplish it. Governor Heineman was also concerned that the bill could be unconstitutional because of a recent statewide vote that placed hunting, fishing
and trapping rights in the Nebraska constitution.
Governor Heineman vetoing LB 671 is not only a huge win for Nebraska but hunters throughout the country.
