Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and in promoting wildlife conservation worldwide
We drew the winner in the raffle supporting Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management (CRWM) at noon today (June 15th 2026). We would like to thank Bobby Hill and the Hill Ranch for providing an exceptional Bull Elk Hunt that drew a huge amount of attention! A big thanks to Luke Weidel and Reel Class Charters for donating the Alaska Fishing Adventure. As always, we were overwhelmed by these generous contributions. These partners are stepping up to help protect our hunting rights here in Colorado and across the West. So please support them if you have the opportunity!
Now without further preamble…..

As we reflect on the incredible success of the 46th Annual SCI Colorado Banquet, we are filled with deep gratitude for the unwavering support of our community. This event was not just a celebration; it was a powerful reminder of our shared commitment to wildlife conservation and the defense of our hunting heritage.
The funds raised will directly contribute to critical initiatives that ensure the protection of our natural resources and the continuation of our traditions for generations to come. We are in this fight together, and it is only by coming to the fight with a consolidated and aligned voice that we can continue the success we have enjoyed in recent years in Colorado.
We would like to extend a special thank you to our distinguished speakers who shared their time and expertise with us: Dan Gates from Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management (CRWM), Congressman Jeff Crank, and Laura Carno from Colorado FASTER. Your leadership and advocacy are vital to our mission, and we are honored to stand alongside you.
The success of this banquet allows us to keep the momentum high. We saw the power of our collective voice last year with the defeat of Proposition 127 at the ballot box. By standing together, we stopped the deceptive attempt to ban mountain lion and bobcat hunting and rejected the dishonest effort to redefine all hunting as “trophy hunting.” Through the efforts of SCI, CRWM, and the entire sporting community, we proved that science-based management wins when we are united.
We know that everyone is anxious to hear the results of our raffle, which serves as the lifeblood for the great work our chapter does. These funds allow us to continue engaging and educating the public on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and ensuring the future of our wild places.
Thank you for being a vital part of this mission. Your involvement makes a lasting impact, and together we will continue to champion responsible wildlife management in Colorado.
