Just a few days from now, we’ll once again celebrate our hunting heritage at our annual banquet…and I’ll have my last opportunity to lead the festivities. My term as your president soon comes to a close, and I look forward to introducing my successor and several new Board members to you in person on March 5th. As reported to you in the previous ten issues of Safari Trails magazine, the last two years have been incredibly busy and productive. You have made that possible, and the upcoming banquet will be a special thank-you…to you. So what’s special about the banquet a few days from now? ●Everyone gets a welcome package worth about $100. ●The food should be great! ●Everyone who bought any table can still purchase an optional Alaska trip for a huge discount. ●We’ll acknowledge some very special contributions to the hunting community. ●The total value of all the auction items and other goodies is over 50% higher than what we had last year…and there are some really exceptional trips, firearms, art, and other items! ●Even the Silent-Auction items are a step up…including a variety of hunts. ●It will be a special time of fellowship with old friends and new…simply a very nice evening! ●Oh, yes…we’ll be giving away a free bull elk hunt. What should we all accomplish at this banquet? Fun and great purchases, of course...and, as you know, this is a fundraiser—the primary source of funds for our Chapter for the next 12 months. ●With your help, we’ll send even more teachers to SCI’s “American Wilderness Leadership School”. Each teacher we send to this week-long immersion in outdoor education comes back much better prepared to inspire interest and enthusiasm for our hunting heritage into hundreds of young people. ●We’ll launch a three-year commitment to help the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation expand its programs to educate young and adult Oklahomans about wildlife conservation and the vital role of hunting in wildlife management. ●We’ll continue our support of programs to acknowledge the great personal contributions of our military veterans…and to provide them opportunities to share our passion for hunting. ●We’ll continue the numerous other initiatives through which we support wildlife conservation, and by which we seek to ensure the continued freedom to hunt. Don’t take the right to hunt for granted…and don’t let “someone else” take care of it for you. We are it. Only our constant vigilance and participation--by each one of us--will preserve this cherished heritage. On March 5th, enjoy yourselves and, at the same time, please do your part to ensure that our Chapter has another productive and successful year. See you there! Thank you!

Here’s the rest of the story, by the young huntress herself… Mike Mistelske On the morning of my hunt I had to wake up real early. I was up before the sun was! And I had to wear Long johns, pants, a shirt, a jacket, snake boots, and a hat that said Buffy. When we got to the blind I had to get in first, because we had to put the gun in the blind and our bags. Then we got all set. Then we just sat there for a while. After sitting there for a while, I said very quietly there’s a deer behind the feeding tree. And my papa said when it walks out we can get the gun ready. Then he said there is two! We kept arguing which deer I should shoot. There was a doe and a yearling and I shot the yearling. I shot the deer about twenty feet away. And it just dropped down dead. And I shot it with one shot. I almost got my buck but I didn’t get a clear shot. And I’m just going to keep trying and never give up. I want to thank my Papa Skip for all the information and my Grandma Betty for helping me study for my test. I want to thank my mom for cheering me on and everybody else.

Regular non-resident applicants will be limited to 2% of the total number of tags where guided hunters (residents and non-residents) may get 8% of the tags for any given hunt! New Mexico currently allocates permits in the antelope, Mule deer, and elk drawing as follows: 78% to residents, 12% to non-residents contracted with an outfitter, and 10% to regular non-resident applicants. This bill in the New Mexico legislature would eliminate the current allocation to non-residents giving 90% to residents and 8% to non-residents and residents who contract with an outfitter and only 2% to regular non-resident applicants. In addition to the split the bill considers implementing the requirement to purchase a non-refundable hunting license to apply which is estimated at $90 for non-residents as well as other non-refundable application fees. It is our understanding that the changes listed below have strong support and have a great chance to pass: • Permit allocation: 90% to resident, 8% to non-residents and residents with an outfitter, and 2% to regular non-resident applicants. • Add a required $90 non-fundable hunting license to apply (plus regular application fees per species) • Still no point system • Allocation may apply to other species as well (sheep, oryx, and ibex) Bill details: http://www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/_session.aspx?chamber=S&legtype=B&legno=%20196&year=11 Bill amendments/committee report: http://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/11%20Regular/bills/senate/SB0196CO1.pdf We have made it very easy to submit your comments to every Senator in New Mexico. Simply GO TO THE WEBSITE http://www.huntinfool.com/ and enter your information and comments. If this passes it will greatly affect all non-residents opportunity to hunt New Mexico. No matter what your opinion is of these potential changes to New Mexico permit allocation and the application process, we encourage you to voice your thoughts. New Mexico needs to hear from non-residents! 6 0 , - " ) 0 .

Benjamin LeForce was born on a wheat farm in the Great Plains of Northern Oklahoma. He began hunting rodents, sparrows, and tin cans as a boy and was soon shooting upland game with his father and grandfather. While in high school, Ben graduated to the marvelous world of small bore centerfire rifles. By around age 20, he acquired a 30-06 that, over the years, has accounted for whitetails, antelope, and other North American game. He has also guided many successful hunts on the family ranch. As a businessman, his family farm has been developed into one of the premier seed production and marketing companies in the United States. Ben’s love of shooting led to reloading and ballistics work. Accurizing rifles and developing correct hunting loads have taken many hours and thousands of rounds on the company’s 500-yard firing range. He hunted big game in three continents and seven countries - everything from black bears to elephants. During that time, he introduced his wife, Paula, to hunting and shooting. Her first animal was a record book springbok taken in Namibia. She recently bagged a record book kudu. Paula and Ben were the recipients of sixteen international hunting awards. The pair decided their experience in international hunting and travel should be shared with other hunters. They continually monitored hunting outfitters, government regulations, political situations, and travel information to bring their clients the most up-to-date information available. Personal friendships with many of the world’s best outfitters and professional hunters further enhanced their knowledge. They were members of the Safari Club International, the Dallas Safari Club, the National Rifle Association, the International Professional Hunter’s Association, and the Professional Hunter’s Association of South Africa. Their mission was to help others find quality, affordable hunting and to provide the necessary logistics to make it happen. Ben’s Final Words — “Do not mourn for me, my friends, for I am in a place of unlimited game with an endless supply of ammunition and a great guide. 8 0 , - " ) 0 .

In ”Part One”, in the November, 2010, issue of Safari Trails, Juan recounted the first eleven days of his adventure and the high price he paid to take a great Stone Sheep. Now Juan’s diary tells of the next few days in the most northerly of Canada’s Northern Interior Mountains, in pursuit of a white goat. Thanks again, Juan, for sharing this with us. Having fulfilled the first objective with a magnificent Stone Sheep trophy, the Canadian adventure continues in British Columbia. Known for his white and silky hair, the “Mountain Goat” is a born climber, capable of traversing the most treacherously steep rocks and the most dangerous chasms. With his hair white as the snow and his stout appearance, it might look to us that it would be easy to make a stealthy approach to this great animal, but that could not be further from reality. When they see us or feel chased, they take to the heights, and there it is very dangerous for the hunter to approach due to the difficult conditions of the summits where the goat moves with great agility. 9 0 , - " ) 0 . " 4 " '" 3 * 5 3 " * - 4 t ' & # 3 6" 3: DAY 12 Rest, warm tea, and dehydrated soups have quickly eased our pains and restored everyone’s energy after the exhausting effort of the last eleven days in the mountains. We busy ourselves reorganizing our gear and verifying that my rifle is still sighted correctly. In the evening we allow ourselves the luxury of a good warm shower and a shave. Starting tomorrow, my intention is for a representative trophy of the Mountain Goat. I’m not determined to beat any record, having seen in the previous days that the scarcity of males will not make it an easy hunt. We have seen only a few groups of females and young. DAY 13 At dawn we depart our camp on the banks of Lake Tucho. On this adventure, Scott, the primary guide, and I are accompanied by Blair, a strong young man of northern Canada. We make this march on foot, because the mountainous zone where we are going is very rough…impossible for horses. It will take us eight long hours to reach the base of the mountain range where we will begin our hunting. The day passes with many rest stops as we struggle to cross the almost-impenetrable forest of pines. Finally we come to a clearing where we set up our camp and light a fire. Until dark we glass the mountainous panorama that surrounds us in hopes of seeing a male goat, but without success. DAY 14 We break camp, and in two hours we reach the top of a hill part way up the mountain. Immediately we spot a male mountain goat in the distance. We set up the spotting scope only to find that the goat has one broken horn, perhaps from a fight or a fall. We are greatly disappointed. 0 , - " ) 0 . " 4 " '" 3 * 5 3 " * - 4 t ' & # 3 6" 3: As we continue our ascent, we surprise two magnificent moose. We are content to capture them in a few photos, and it is incredible to see these giant deer run between the rocks of the hillside. We reach a lush area where the sunny hillsides offer an ideal sun porch for these ungulates of the mountain. We glass and in a few minutes we discern a big group of females and their young. It is quite a spectacle to see the little ones of only three months age climbing along with their mothers. We continue our march and on having come to a place with a good view, we see a minuscule white speck on the opposite mountain range. It is solitary, and logic suggests that he must be a male. We set up the spotting scope and confirm that it is a legal billy and well worth it for us to try for him. The challenge is that it is necessary to cross the whole valley, and we are in his angle of vision. Another option might be to go back around our mountain and find some way to approach him from above, but we discard this possibility because of the difficulty of the climb…rocks as big as trucks have been detached by erosion or by earthquakes of the past and would make the trip too dangerous. O Meanwhile the male, who had been grazing calmly, walks towards a nearby cliff with deep cracks, and in a few minutes he is lost from sight. Then we understand that he was looking for refuge in these crevasses…escape from the voracious mosquitoes that are counted by the thousands and are making life almost impossible to any living being. When we keep moving they are not too bad, but when we stop it is terrifying…the perspiration of the body excites them, the repellant spray is exhausted, and in desperation I try sunscreen cream. It works well only during the first few minutes. The place where the goat has taken refuge will facilitate our approach. We are more than two hours getting into position, and the best we can do is a shooting distance of 220 meters. Now we must hope that the goat will get up and should offer us his side. 0 , - " ) 0 . " 4 " '" 3 * 5 3 " * - 4 t ' & # 3 6" 3: After thirty minutes of waiting the majestic male stands and presents a beautiful picture. I put it in the crosshairs, and on having received the first impact, it staggers. Blair repeats to me with insistence, “Shoot, shoot Juan!”. I repeat the shot and through the riflescope I see tufts of white hair fly, but it does not go down. After a few seconds he turns a little and again receives another impact…this time he falls! We embrace each other and already feel confident…then Blair mentions to me that he has had several experiences with goats, saying that they are extremely tough and after taking several hits they commonly make a wild dash and are often lost between the cliffs only to die later never to be found. Upon arrival, however, we find a beautiful animal with perfect horns about nine inches in length…a success and a lot more than expected. We take the necessary photos and remove the precious skin of the entire body. For the beauty of this goat, I must do a whole mount; it is spectacular! We decide to stay the night in this stunning valley. We set the camp, and it is a pleasure to recall the day’s events as I lie between the warm layers of the sleeping bag. DAY 15 On the following morning an agreeable sensation floods us; the goal has been achieved! We return to our base at Lake Tucho, and upon our arrival it makes me happy to see in my bag the last taste of cured Spanish ham with which we celebrate this hunt! Juan Iglesias 0 , - " ) 0 .

Where: Chain Ranch, Canton, Oklahoma Date(s) of Trip: available dates, 2011 or 2012 Number of Hunters: Two Hunters Value: $1,300 ONE OF OUR TOP SUPPORTERS FOR MANY YEARS! Description: The Rio Grande turkey population on the Chain Ranch is simply outstanding! Just ask Dick Kirby, owner of Quaker Boy Game Calls. Dick hunted the ranch in the spring a few years ago and was amazed at the number of turkeys he saw during the two day hunt. Liberal bag limits in Oklahoma and Kansas allow each hunter to bag several toms during the spring season. The population of long beards on the ranch has never been better. We’ve harvested more than thirty toms in a single spring season. Unfortunately for the farmers of Northwest Oklahoma, the hogs are here! This is great news for the off-season hunter. The State of Oklahoma does not recognize hogs as a game species, therefore we can hunt them year around with no bag limits. Although our club members enjoy hog hunting on the entire ranch, we have set aside a very special area for hog hunting by non-club members as well. Our success rate is about 90% for all hunters. We can accommodate rifle, archery, blackpowder, and pistol hunters. Our average hog killed weights between 150 and 175lbs, but we routinely kill hogs over 300lbs. For some added excitement, ask about our hog hunts with hounds, it will cost you a little extra but it is absolutely some of the most exciting hunting you will do! For available hunting dates, please see our reservation calendar. All accommodations are available on a fourteen-day advance reservation system. Although kitchen facilities are available, meals are not provided. 0 , - " ) 0 .

Contact person: JOHN BLACKWELL EMAIL: [email protected] Phone: (250) 742-3535 Fax: (250) 742-3749 WEB: www.fawniemountain.com SCI-OK contact: Mike Mistelske SEE OSC MEMBER ALLEN ENGLAND’S ARTICLE, PG. 25 OF THE AUGUST ‘08 ISSUE OF OKLAHOMA SAFARI TRAILS MAGAZINE! Type of hunt: Where: Date(s) of Trip: Value: One hunter for 6 Days/7 Nights for black bear British Columbia, Chilcotin wilderness area May 25-31 & June 1-7, 2011 or similar dates in 2012 US $6,000 Description: Guided Black Bear Hunting in British Columbia, rifle or archery. Hunt dates are when the bears are fresh from hibernation, and hides are excellent. This area has a very high population of LARGE color phase black bears, because of excellent habitat and the fact that it is not over hunted. We mainly hunt them only two weeks in the Spring season when they are fresh out of hibernation and concentrated on feeding areas where they are relatively easy to find and stalk. The hides are excellent at that time, much better than coastal bears because of our colder temperatures. Success rates are very high during this time, averaging 170% for many years, because many hunters will shoot two bears. The hides range in size from 5 feet to 8 feet squared. Our bear hunting camp is located on a remote lake 80 miles West of Prince George, where I pick you up for the drive to the camp. Prince George has daily commercial flights from Vancouver, and you may also drive to Prince George. The camp is located right in great bear hunting, with good feed close by. From our bear camp we drive old logging roads that lead through old logged areas that produce excellent feed for the bears. We are able to spot and stalk the bears without long hikes. Often we can glass them from a distance and judge their size. We pick up the hides at the camp soon after the kill and fly them to the freezer at the lodge, insuring no spoilage occurs. Rainbow trout are plentiful at the bear camp, also at the main lodge at Moose Lake, where you may stay and fish after you have shot your bears. The floatplane flight to the main lodge for fishing is included in the package price. Your hunt is 1x1 guided and includes the kill fee for one bear. You may take a second bear, paying only the US$800 kill fee. Your hunt also includes the transportation from Prince 66 0 , - " ) 0 . " 4 " '" 3 * 5 3 " * - 4 t ' & # 3 6" 3: George, and the delivery of your trophies to a local taxidermist. A second hunter may be added for US $6,000 1x1 guided, or the second hunter may share your guide for US $4,750. As with your hunt, the second person’s hunt includes the air charter and the kill fee for one bear; and a second bear may be added for an additional US$800 kill fee. Hunting license cost is $180 CAN. Each bear license costs $180 CAN. There is a NonResident Hunting Preservation Fee of $125 CAN. All fees are subject to a 6% tax. [2010 costs quoted] All guides in BC charge the NRHP fee, and all guides in Canada charge the 5% tax. These license costs, fees, and tax are in addition to the hunt prices but the outfitter will purchase the licenses for you in advance. Any required firearms permit fees, transportation from your origin to Prince George and return, and tips are costs in addition to the hunt fees. If you’ve investigated Canadian bear hunts, you’ve probably found them ranging in price from $2,500 for the baited tree stand hunts to $9,000 for a 2-bear hunt on Vancouver Island. The Fawnie Mountain hunt is for the hunter that wants super guides, big bears, quality food and accommodations, many great memories, all at a reasonable price. Your hosts, the Blackwells have owned and operated this business for over 40 years. Some of the guides have been guiding here 17 years, some 13 years, etc. There is a sense of competition among the guides to find the biggest bears. The organization knows how to produce a quality hunting experience for trophy animals. Suitable rifles are available if a hunter chooses not to bring his/her own. Archery is acceptable. Handguns are not permitted. A non-hunting companion could stay at the lodge, with fishing and hiking as the activities; or may stay in the bear camp and accompany the hunter in the 4x4 and watching/filming the stalk. Fishing is also available at the camp. Cost for the non-hunter is US$1,500, including the pick up in Prince George and the float plane flight to the main lodge at Moose Lake. REASONS TO CHOOSE THIS HUNT 1. Our enthusiastic and professional guides. 2. Our high success rate on big bears for many years. 3. Our great food, accommodations and equipment. 4. Our big, plentiful, color phase bears. 5. Our commitment to good service, with no more than 6 bear hunters in camp at one time.

Non-hunters may accompany the hunters and experience first-hand the exciting pursuit of free-ranging aoudad in this beautiful country. Non-hunters also have the option of going into town to shop, or they can stay on the ranch and sight-see in the areas we will not be hunting. Most non-hunters usually stay on the ranch and take advantage of the outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, arrowhead hunting, or just relaxing. Inkspot Outdoors provides hunting services on the Inks and Dutch Mountain Ranches located in Llano Co, Tx. Both the Inks Ranch and Dutch Mt. Ranch are "Texas Century" ranches and have been in the same family for over 100 years.” We offer a variety of hunts on many exotic and domestic animals in a diverse terrain landscape.

The Kimber Model 84M is the first ultra-lightweight production rifle that combines classic design, hand finishing and the advantages of a Mauser claw extractor for true controlled round feeding and extraction. Accuracy is ensured by the match grade barrel, chamber and trigger, along with pillar bedding. Every dimension is minimized, putting this rifle in a class by itself. RETAIL VALUE $1,187 The Model 84M action is designed with absolute minimal dimensions for the .308 Win. family of cartridges. This is the primary reason Model 84M rifles weigh some 2 pounds less than those from other manufacturers. Model 84M actions are bedded to the stock on twin aluminum pillars for strength and accuracy. Models in big game calibers also have glass bedding. Sculpted steel bottom metal has a floorplate release inside the trigger bow. Proper stock design and a recoil-absorbing 1-inch Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad on most models diminish felt recoil. Straight comb stocks slide back, not up and into your cheekbone. Three-position wing safety acts directly on the cocking piece for greatest security. Models with walnut or Kevlar/carbon fiber stocks are glass bedded at the recoil lug. Models with walnut or laminated stocks have machined steel bottom metal with floorplate release inside the trigger guard.

The overall combined limit of six deer (to include no more than two bucks) remains unchanged, and all other nonresident deer licenses are no longer available. Nonresident anglers also must now purchase a $55 nonresident annual fishing license or a $35 nonresident six-day fishing license. Other significant license changes now in place include one that eliminates the separate trout license once required during trout season. The new $26 Wildlife Conservation Passport also is now required of all residents or nonresidents who enter or use Department-owned lands, unless exempt. Individuals who possess any current hunting or fishing license issued by the Wildlife Department are exempt from Conservation Passport requirements, except holders of the resident two-day fishing license and the nonresident six-day fishing license must still purchase the Wildlife Conservation Passport. Additionally, residents under 18 years of age are exempt from Conservation Passport requirements. The Conservation Passport replaces the Blue River Passport once required on the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area. Additionally, sportsmen now have the option of purchasing a fiscal year hunting or combination license that expires June 30, rather than only having the option of a calendar year license that expires Dec. 31. The cost of the fiscal year licenses are $53 for a combination license, $32 for a hunting license, $19 for a youth combination license, $7 for a youth hunting license and $176 for a nonresident hunting license. Other license changes new for 2011, including a number of discontinued licenses, can be viewed along with a complete listing in the current “Oklahoma Hunting Guide” and “Oklahoma Fishing Guide.” Some changes to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s hunting and fishing license structure will affect the way some sportsmen choose the licenses they need in 2011. At its January meeting, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission did not have a quorum and no actions were taken. The Commission did hear several presentations, however, including one from Melinda Sturgess-Streich, assistant director of administration and finance, detailing license changes that became effective Jan. 1, 2011. Particularly impacted by the new slate of changes are senior citizens, military personnel, non-resident sportsmen, trout anglers, wildlife management area users who are not hunting and fishing license holders and sportsmen whose favorite hunting seasons are still open at the start of a new year. Among the changes is one that impacts the price and terms of senior citizen lifetime hunting, fishing and combination licenses. The new prices are $15 for a senior citizen lifetime fishing or hunting license and $25 for a senior citizen lifetime combination license. Additionally, senior citizen lifetime licenses now include increased privileges equal to that of regular lifetime licenses. License changes for military personnel have taken place as well. All active military personnel and their dependents, regardless of their state residency, can now purchase hunting and fishing licenses at resident prices. License changes for nonresidents include the elimination of non-resident lifetime licenses as well as a simplification of nonresident deer licenses. Nonresident deer hunters now can choose between a nonresident deer archery license, a nonresident deer muzzleloader license or a nonresident deer gun license. Each license is $280 and is valid for all of the 0 , - " ) 0 .

I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you. I share your concerns with Mr. Sunstein, and consequently voted against his confirmation in Committee. I appreciated Mr. Sunstein’s testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, as he insisted that he respects the Second Amendment and would not use his position to oppose hunting. My vote in opposition to his confirmation was centered more around his personal views, as you mentioned, regarding the Second Amendment and hunting. Unfortunately, regardless of my vote, Mr. Sunstein was confirmed in Committee and will soon be considered by the full Senate. Furthermore, I can assure you that I would not support any federal policy that would give animals legal rights equal to human beings. I also want you to know that I voted in opposition to President Obama’s nominee for Attorney General, Eric Holder, largely because of his extreme anti-gun views. While I gave Mr. Holder the opportunity to clarify his views on the Second Amendment during his recent confirmation hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee, his responses were not encouraging (to view the questions and responses during the Holder hearing please see <a href=”http://cspan.org/Watch/ watch.aspx?MediaId=HP-R-14396”>http://cspan.org/ Watch/watch.aspx?MediaId=HP-R-14396</a>, time periods 53:10-58:46, 2:29:00-2:30:00, 2:32:33-2:3422, 4:02:25-until the end). It is unacceptable for our Attorney General - the head of the federal agency that primarily enforces federal laws and regulations governing firearm possession - to hold such a hostile view on one of our Constitutional rights. While I voted against his confirmation, the Senate approved him as our next Attorney General by a 75-21 vote. 0 , - " ) 0 . " 4 " '" 3 * 5 3 " * - 4 t ' & # 3 6" 3: 0 , - " ) 0 .
