Montana Hunting Trip / A note from Caleb's mother following the trip.
 "Caleb just got back from his once in a lifetime hunting trip in Montana. Of course, he loved every minute! I got to go with him and I had a great time too. It was exhilarating being there when Caleb shot his first buck and elk! He got both within three day and then topped it off by catching his first northern pike. How lucky is that?
A couple weeks ago I got a call asking if Caleb would like to go on a guided hunting trip. Would he ever! With the help of United Special Sportsman Alliance and Montana Taxidermists Association, it did not take long to have the trip set up. The trip itself was generously provided by the best guides ever at Rocky Point Outfitters in Thompson Falls, Montana. Before we knew it we were on our way. We stayed at a beautiful lodge and got up early every day to go hunting. The scenery there is incredible. He shot his buck on the first day! He did a great job sneaking up on it.
The second day we drove around looking for elk. Caleb was looking at the back of his eyelids a lot (lol). On the third morning he shot a cow elk with a single, perfect shot. It was impressive. It was so exciting, for Caleb and everyone who came to celebrate with us! He got to drive into town to show off his elk and then he rested up for fishing. It wasn't long before he nailed his first Pike. Wow, what a day!
We would like to thank the great folks there at Thompson Falls who made us feel welcome and treated us like family, especially the Haun Family. Caleb couldn't have had a better guide. Thanks Jon! To Craig and the Funky Fish, thanks for being there, celebrating with us, and making it even more special. Wahoooooo!!!"
 Tim attended his dream hunt at J & R Outfitters in Indiantown, Florida with wife Lynsey and daughter Cheyenne. Tim's hunt was a GREAT success harvesting a red stag and axis. Tim has been battling a life threatening illness but none of that could impede is spirit on a great hunting trip.
Safari Club International Foundation
 Since 2000, SCI Foundation (SCIF) has provided $47 million to conservation, wildlife education, and humanitarian programs around the world. Growth of SCIF has continued to gain momentum through charitable donations from SCI members and direct grants from local chapters and the SCI organization. A recent effort that just completed its fund-raising drive is the Hunter Legacy Fund which is a dedicated funding source for wildlife conservation . This endowment was created by one hundred individuals and corporations, dedicating a pledge of $100,000 to create a $10 million endowment to ensure conservation programs of SCIF will continue long into the future. A similar effort kicked off in 2008 to create an endowment for conservation education.
With recent expenditures exceeding $5 million annually, SCI Foundation has continued to promote science-based conservation through wildlife research, capacity building in governments, youth and teacher education, and humanitarian programs which show the importance of the hunting community in society. A project nearing completion, called the "White Book", will showcase nearly 150 conservation projects where SCIF has made major contributions to the world of wildlife management.
