Dennis Gepfrey is now vice president and Mike Dickerson is the secretary. There are no current vacancies on the board. We have been working on upcoming events and the Citizens Initiated Law- the Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. Dennis Gepfrey will again manage the annual youth buck pole hosted by Madden’s Lounge later this month and he is still looking for donations. If you have never attended this event, it is a great way to see the future of our sport. You’ll see youth hunters bringing in their first deer to the deer pole and winning a prize or goody bag for their efforts. This is truly a family event and many grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, and uncles also show up with the families. We will also have an opening day buck pole on November 15th at Madden’s Lounge. Today, as I am writing this, the Michigan House of Representatives finalized the Citizens Initiated Law. The Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act originated from SCI members. This is landmark legislation- the most significant conservation legislation ever accomplished by citizens in our state and it will have significant, long lasting benefits. Our hunting heritage will be passed on to the next generations of hunters without interference from out of state radical groups like PETA and the Humane Society of the United States- at least for the foreseeable future. This legislation came directly from in state SCI leadership- we started it and we finished it! The Flint Chapter of SCI, its board, and its members were leaders in many ways to accomplish this goal and it is something that I personally will never forget. We made a difference- WE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! We donated time, we donated money (especially Dennis Peters!), we collected signatures, we used our influence, we used other available resources, we worked closely with other sportsmens’ organizations, and we led the effort through the Michigan Chapters of SCI. This legislation would not have been possible without SCI. The annual Christmas Banquet is on December 5th at the Davison Country Club and I hope to see you there. Remember, this is a free event for members and a guest. Enjoy your fall hunts and share the experience with our members. Life is short, hunt hard, and pass it on (today we passed it on big time!), Neal www.scif lint.com | Summer 2014 1 Zimbabwe 2014 We had been following the cat’s blood trail for 4 hours. The big cat came out of the rocky crevice and hit Tsumbe when his shadow went over the edge. Clearly he was going for his throat... My wife, Renee, and I arrived in camp after a 2 day trip to the Sango portion of the Save Conservancy in southeast Zimbabwe. We met our hosts Yonnie and Cathy and instantly felt at home. The tent camp is what I had envisioned. It reminded me of what the hunts of Roosevelt and Hemingway must have experienced. We were treated like royalty by the camp staff. Renee and I were the only occupants of the camp for 2 weeks. Our South African PH Gary Phillips joined us for the hunt . We have hunted with him 4 times in the East Cape area. That evening our Zimbabwe PH Johnny Hulme joined us. The plan for the next few days was to get out baits for the leopard. The preferred baits are zebra and impala. The hunts were to be before daylight until after dark. The main hunting area is around the Maroke river which is a 15-20 km drive from camp on a 2 track trail. 2 Sum mer 2014 | www.scif lint.com 4:30 came awfully early. That first night we had lions in camp outside the tent. It’s winter there. We had 45-50 degrees at night and 70- 80 degrees during the day. The days were sunny with an occasional cloud. The grass was low and brown. It was easy to spot animals and there were hundreds to be seen. Giraffes, Kudus, Elephant, Rhinos, wildebeest, wild dogs,etc. The Maroke river ran in multiple channels calf deep. The animals after 4 hours. Johnny and I were able to get a 120 yard shot after a 200 foot hands and knees crawl. I should say at this point that every plant in Africa has thorns, burr and catclaws. He ran off as if I had missed with my .458 Lott. While walking to where he had been a group of elephants began to trumpet and approach. We literally ran to avoid an encounter. We circled back and picked up a good blood congregated at the water holes and the river. After a week we had 11 baits strung up in trees with adjacent trail cameras. This included 5 Impalas and 2 zebras. Each of these hunts was an adventure in itself. I had 4 trackers with me daily. They were phenomenal. Sonny was the best tracker and Johnny’s strong right hand. He always carried the shooting sticks or Johnny’s 500 NE Kreighoff. Dakerai was the youngest. He was learning from Sonny and carried water and medical supplies. I realized after a few days that he had been assigned to me. He was always near. Livingston (Big Liv) was the concierge. He kept Renee company, made sure we had drinks and lunch and was the best tree climber. Amos was the oldest and coordinated the work. On the fourth day we ran into a group of Eland bulls. Naturally they ran off. With the trackers help we caught them trail. The eland traveled a mile with a good heart shot. On the seventh day we knew we had a big leopard in a cave above the Maroke river. He had dragged an Impala bait into a cave on a ledge about 20 feet above the riverbank. Sonny crawled in without knowing if the cat was there or not. We tied the impala to a tree on the ledge Continued www.scif lint.com | Summer 2014 3 hoping to get a broadside shot. We set up a ground blind 60 yards away across the river. That night he came in 2 hours after dark. He fooled us in that he came down behind the tree to get the impala. It was a bad angle. All I had was head and neck. Johnny whispered that I would never see a cat this big again. “Take the best shot possible. We will get this cat.” I didn’t even hear the .338 Win mag go off. The cat fell off the ledge and laid still. I thought it was over. In less than a minute however the cat roared, got up, and ran up a rock slide. I thought GREAT NOW WHAT! The trackers followed a good blood trail through rocks. We could hear the angry cat ahead. Johnny decided this was a bad idea in the dark. We went back to camp. After a sleepless night we were back at the river at daylight. When the word got out how big the cat was that I had wounded a half a dozen volunteers showed up. Tsumbe was one of these. He had worked with Johnny before. ... Tsumbe’s reaction was to turn away. The cat’s jaws closed on his shoulder and his claws entered his face. He was knocked to the ground. Thank goodness the claws did not rake his face. Tsumbe got his feet under the cat and pushed him off. Tsumbe was able to get up. The cat came at him again and he hit him in the head. The cat went down and bit his foot. He hit him again and the leopard turned and ran. Up until this point all we could do is watch. Now everyone with a gun was able to get in the action. As Johnny later said “This cat died a warrior.” Tsumbe spent 3 days in the hospital. I saw him before I left. He was back home doing well. The buffalo was almost easy after this. We tracked groups of Dagga boys daily for a week. Various setbacks interrupted our stalks. Changes in the wind, other plains game, lions, and an exciting confrontation with a rhino. Finally on the last day at noon we were up in some rocks and looked down to a group of bulls at 50 yards. The first shot was 4 Sum mer 2014 | www.scif lint.com excellent but Johnny had me shoot until he went down. This was my greatest adventure. I don’t Know how it can be topped. Gary ( [email protected] ) says he can do it. He has invited us back for lion. He will be visiting Renee and I January 2015. If you want to meet Gary to hear more about this hunt E-mail me at [email protected]. When the date is firmed up I will contact you. Frazer Wadenstorer SCI-Flint Chapter Member Just Wondering: What is Your Favorite Hunting Cartridge? By Scott Chapman of hunting to sort out my personal preferences based on The old saying “beware of a man who has one rifle and experience and observations. Along the way, I have found can shoot it well” never hit home with me considering the obvious – if you select an appropriate cartridge with there are so many choices of not only rifles and rifle the proper bullet, and place the shot well, they all work. types, but the number of calibers they come in and the But I do have preferences given a choice. number of cartridges they can be chambered in. Some of my personal thoughts are: Certainly, there are many successful hunters who have done all their hunting with a single rifle and cartridge 1) I generally prefer heavy for caliber bullets despite the combination, but among traveling big-game hunters, I reduction in muzzle velocity; would guess that is more unusual than it is usual. 2) I am a huge fan of the various .277 and .284 caliber I have always enjoyed trying to find the best available tool cartridges for deer-sized game; for the job (assuming it is already in my gun safe) when 3) The .300 magnums are highly versatile cartridges that planning a hunt. In fact, this is always one of the exciting can be applied to most game and hunting situations; parts of planning a trip for me. Most of the time, this means analyzing the size and 4) While speed kills, for heavy bodied game, I prefer the temperament of the game I am going to hunt, the type standard medium-bore magnum cartridges compared of terrain and cover I am going to hunt in, and the likely to the newer ultra-magnums; and unlikely distances I may have to shoot. This can get 5) I like to shoot varmint-sized cartridges and the big stuff complicated when more than one species will be hunted at the range much more than the .270 - .30 caliber – even taking a second or third rifle on a trip sometimes cartridges. The small stuff is fun, but the really big stuff doesn’t matter – you can only carry one rifle at a time, is really fun, and the in between just isn’t that exciting. and you can’t count on having the time to switch rifles If I had to pick five cartridges to hunt the world with for even if a tracker is carrying your second option for you. the rest of my life, I would pick the .22 Hornet, .270 WSM, This has led me to use more than 15 different centerthe .338 Win Mag, the .375 HH Mag, fire cartridges to take more and the .416 Rigby.

Several weeks before the act passed in State Senate with another Bi-partisan vote of 23-10. The citizen initiative, called the Scientific Fish & Wildlife Conservation Act protects the authority of the Natural Resources Commission to designate game species (which it shares with the Legislature) and to issue fisheries orders, both under a duty to use sound science. Included in the act is a provision to provide free licenses for active military members, and to protect Michigan waters from invasive species like Asian carp with a $1 million appropriation to the Department of Natural Resources for rapid response activities. With the passing of this act the Humane Society of the United States will be stopped in their attempt to end a regulated hunting season for wolves in certain areas of the Upper Peninsula. Because the initiative contains an appropriation, it is not subject to a third referendum by HSUS. Due to the fact that this act was passed with a simple majority, and not a 2/3 majority, the bill will not go into law until March of 2015 after a 60 day waiting period from when the new legislature assumes their position. There will still be two HSUS bills on the fall ballot, which could affect the 2014 Wolf hunting season. Beginning in March 2015, the HSUS referendums, if passed will expire and the SFWCA will supersede them protecting future hunts. SCI Support of the Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act 2013/14 – Flint Regional Chapter donated $53,000 to support the Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management(CPWM) a ballot committee composed of conservation organizations from across Michigan who believe that fish and wildlife decisions should be based on sound science. 2013/4 – Flint chapter members supported effort to gather signatures required to move forward the citizens sponsored legislation. Over 300,000 signatures were gathered more than enough to move this legislation forward for a vote. 2014 – SCI members contacted our representatives in the Michigan senate and house asking them to vote yes on this act and also took part in a rally on the steps of the Michigan State Capitol to show support for the act. www.scif lint.com | Summer 2014 9 Jim George General Scholarship 2014 Hunting is Important to Conservation By Nicholas Ostrander Hunting is a very important factor and aspect of conservation. Without hunting in play, there is no telling what would happen to our wildlife as we know it today. Hunting in a way is a natural regulatory factor in our biome and all over the world. Ever since man has emerged on our planet, he has hunted for food. Hunting has helped keep the population size and density in check. For example, too big of a population or population density would cause major unbalances in the ecosystem, and could even cause inhabitants of animals to drop rapidly. Another result could be that the oversized populace of game could cause harm to other species of game. If anything was to happen along these lines, then there would be nothing to conserve or hunt. Predators can be a huge threat to many types of game. Hunters can help preserve those different types of game by hunting the predators. Predators have very few natural predators, and it is up to all of the hunters to limit their damage and conserve the large numbers of many animal Hunting is also a type of fundraiser for conservation. Every single time that someone goes to the store and buys a hunting or fishing license, money is donated to conservation efforts. This money helps pay for conservation officers, 10 Summer 2014 | www.scif lint.com Nick Ostrander. habitat improvement, building projects and biologists. All of those things help conserve and benefit our game and natural resources. Biologists and conservation officers use their skills and resources to study species and help set the games laws and regulations. Without these regulations, there would be no conservation of our species and game. Habitat improvement and habitat building projects help dramatically to allow our wild animals and game to flourish and will help conserve their presence. This environment insures that there is a large supply of game for the future and allow them to continue to mature. Nick winning 3rd placed at the Nationals in which over 2000 young skeet shooters participated. Internal balancing of the populations of animals is also an important part of hunting and conservation. An example of this is hunting deer. Generally speaking most hunters prefer and hunt for bucks instead of does. Hunting bucks is a way of conserving the whitetail deer herd. An excess of male deer does not necessarily help them to prosper. If there are more females than males, it often will produce the same annual offspring yield. This being said, one buck can produce a large number of fauns every year assuming does are available in a particular area. This method of preserving does by specifically hunting bucks, actually helps to conserve and protect our overall game numbers. The balancing of individuals in the population helps the species conservation and helps them grow. Hunters have formed many charities, conservation organizations and influential groups because of hunting. These nonprofit groups help fund conservation efforts throughout the United States. Hunting therefore is a means of conserving our wildlife. Without conservation, there would be no hunting. Everyone needs to do their part in both hunting and conserving! Doing so will help protect today’s game for tomorrow’s hunt and future generations in the out of doors. We all (coaches, GB High School, parents and the athletes) want to say thank you to SCI for their continued support to get young shooters in the out of doors. SCI annual contribution along with this scholarship to Nick Ostrander is a wonderful gesture and important to continue our heritage in the love of the out of doors! www.scif lint.com | Summer 2014 11 Contributed by: SCI Flint Members Marc and Megan Somers – A couple highlight shots from our 2013 Unico Safari hunt in Limpopo S Africa: Gemsbok was Megan’s first animal AND her 18th birthday so this harvest will always have a special place in my heart. She also took Impala, Blue Wildebeest, and Zeeb - with 309 yard shot, which led to a bit of tracking, ( but STILL – 309 yards!!! I was misting with pride ). I was fortunate enough to benefit from Unico offering a discounted 59” Kudu after it was turned down by a well-healed client. On the last day I fulfilled my rug requirements. Unico Safaris does an excellent job catering to kids and families. The food, PH’s, trackers, and accommodations are all first class. Based on quality of animal I would recommend Tanya and her crew to anyone. After Unico we flew to Volunkulo, Mozambique, off the Indian Ocean coast, where we focused on three days of intense relaxation and slipped in a deep sea charter for mackerel extravaganza. As I expected, the best part of trip was seeing Africa through Megan’s eyes, it felt like my 1998 and my first trip with my Father all over again. I hope she will have the same wonderful memories. Special note: Megan was awarded the 2013 Best Overall Youth Trophy for her Kalahari Gemsbok scoring 88 5/8 12 Summer 2014 | www.scif lint.com National Parks Fair Hutching Elementary School Jason DeLand – AWLS Graduate By Matt Bluntzer On Tuesday, May 20, Hutchings Elementary teacher, Jason DeLand, and his 5th grade class put on a coast-to coast ‘tour’ of the U.S. National Parks at their ‘National Park Fair.’ This is an idea that came about as a result of Mr. DeLand’s experiences at the American Wilderness Leadership School (AWLS) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jason was sponsored by the SCI Flint Regional Chapter in the AWLS class of 2003. Throughout the school year, Mr. DeLand’s class communicated over Skype with national park rangers in Grand Canyon National Park, and corresponded with individual parks around the country. The students then used these contacts, and other information sources, to create a report about their park. AWLS Graduate - Jason DeLand and Matt Blutzer The program culminated with student presentations to the 3rd grade students in their building. Jason invited me to attend Hutchings Elementary School’s ‘National Park Fair,’ so I could see the results of the SCI AWLS scholarship and how it is being utilized year one in the classroom. During the event each student who researched their own National Park then presented the information to small groups of younger students. It was amazing to see the interest in not only the 5th grade presenters, but the younger 3rd grade visitors as well. Each student project explained details about their park including the park size, location, history and flora and fauna. The ultimate goal of sponsoring teacher attendance at the Wilderness School is in hopes that they will return to their classroom and provide for students an understanding and appreciation of the outdoors at an age when students are most open to learning. After my visit to Hutchings Elementary, I believe Mr. Deland has done just that! www.scif lint.com | Summer 2014 13 int SCI-Fl s r Hunte P H O T O Frazer Wadenstorer pictured with his 8ft... 180lb cat!

The base license allows hunters to hunt small game and also purchase additional hunting licenses. Below are the new hunting licenses and prices. As of March 1, 2014, hunting licenses have changed. The new structure creates a simpler, and more fair and efficient license buying process. $15.00 $30.00 $138.00 $276.00 $6.00 $12.00 $15.00 $100.00 $15.00 $6.00 $7.50 $1.00 $1.00 $15.00 $6.00 $15.00 $6.00 $5.00 $500.00 $100.00 Deer Resident Deer Combo Resident Deer Nonresident Deer Combo Nonresident Deer Senior Deer Combo Senior *Deer Management Assistance Permits Elk (Michigan residents only Fur Harvester Fur Harvester Senior Harvest Tags *Mentored Youth Military (Active duty and 100% disabled veterans) *Small Game 7 Day Nonresident *Sportcard Survey Tags Turkey Fall Turkey Fall Senior Turkey Spring Turkey Spring Senior Waterfowl Hunting Wolf NonResident Wolf Resident $4.00 *Applications Hunt/Fish Combo Senior (includes base, deer combo and fishing) $15.00 Antlerless Deer Managed Area Hunts Hunt/Fish Combo Resident (includes base, deer combo and fishing) $15.00 Antlerless Deer Junior - $15.00 Antlerless Deer Hunt/Fish Combo Nonresident (includes base, deer combo and fishing) - Base Senior $15.00 - Base Nonresident $15.00 - Base Resident Bear Participation - Base Junior Bear Previous Price Hunting Licenses $100.00 $500.00 $12.00 $6.00 $15.00 $6.00 $15.00 - $1.00 +$0 $7.50 - $6.00 $15.00 $100.00 $10.00 $28.00 $8.00 $190.00 $20.00 $40.00 $20.00 ^$43.00 ^$76.00 ^$266.00 $15.00 $25.00 $5.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 ^$5.00 ^$151.00 ^$11.00 ^$6.00 New Price New Hunting License Structure Chart * Items do NOT require a base license ^ Items include a $1 surcharge.

It’s held each August at Camp Echo Grove in Leonard Michigan. The camp is owned by the Michigan Salvation Army and has been upgraded for updated rifle and archery ranges to help their campers and the S.H.A.P. camp. The program is held each August for young hunters between 12 – 15 years old. The program starts Friday around noon & is done around noon on Sunday. The students o ask that successfully complete the weekend t d n a their h s raise otguns from t n e get not only their Michigan Hunter d u sh st n Eager arding vin Mulkera g e r s Safety card, they also complete their I.B.E.P. n e questio mence and K le C (International Bowhunter Education Program) which is required e Mik to archery hunt in some states & Canadian provinces. The students also enjoy many of the camps other amenities during their weekend. This year our chapter sponsored 6 youths to the camp. So far we have been lucky enough as a chapter to be able to pay the registration fee for the new hunters we sponsor and hope to continue this practice in future years. We have been sponsoring new hunters to the S.H.A.P. weekend for 18 years and have sent almost 100 new hunters in that time. One question I get quite often is, do you have to be an SCI family member to be sponsored, NO you do not have to belong to SCI to Joanne Williams attend. Another question is I don’t want to send my child (front and Joe alone, then have them come with a friend. I occasionally Rodger (rear doo have to limit how many kids from our chapter attend blurred) present as is it is sponsored by the S.E. Bowhunter’s and they open it to other S.C.I. their Birds of chapters, so space is limited. Prey program So if you have children, relatives or neighbors interested in hunting and will need to get their hunter safety card and want a great experience keep this program in mind. Just another chapter member benefit that is a recipient of our Wild Game Dinner. 20 Summer 2014 | www.scif lint.com Joe Rodg er the stude showing nts a owl “close up ” Kevin Mulkeran (rear holding map) discusses ground blinds and back pack gear SAVE THE DATE SCI - Flint Chapter 2014 CHRISTMAS PARTY Friday, December 5, 2014 Davidson Country Club Hunts • Special Raffle • Live Auction • Silent Auction Outfitters Open House Friday, March 13, 2015 1-9 p.m. Safari Club International Flint Regional Chapter www.sciflint.com 32ND ANNUAL FUNDRAISER AND WILD GAME DINNER Saturday, March 14, 2015 more exhibits and more donated items than last years record turnout!
