I was reading Dogcat's thread on Bill Quimby's book on SCI, and it seems SCI's membership is flat and its management and political issues are unresolved. I'm totally uninterested in trophy competition, but extremely interested in conservation -- particularly in Africa -- and hunting rights here and abroad. So which organization is the most effective and efficient at working toward these goals, SCI or DSC? Just looking for the freshest take possible. I have let my memberships in both organizations lapse. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

I'm very happy with with the DSC. Nothing against SCI, but the DSC feels like it's moving in the right direction. analog_peninsula ----------------------- It takes character to withstand the rigors of indolence. | |||

Bill, I'm with Mike. Rather than pitting one organization against another let's just support them all as they all support us. Mark MARK H.

Agree with Mike. Two best hunting and conservation rights groups and best guns rights group.
...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I've been an NRA member for years -- as well as the Oregon Hunters Association. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

well...glad to hear that, I think right now, more than ever we need the NRA to be strong. If you join DSC we'll still send you a one year membership in NRA that you can give to someone else... Karl Evans | |||

All three is certainly a great idea to consider. NRA and SCI have lawyers and lobbyists fighting in Washington and in the Courts, and coordinating their efforts on many fronts. Not sure about DSC in that regard. Another worthy organization is Conservation Force (John Jackson). Convention prices and ease of attendance are the very last reasons for me in joining any of them, and I am a Benafactor member of the NRA and a Life Member of SCI. In that regard, I have never been to an NRA convention, but I have ploughed my money into the NRA because they are effective. Without strong efforts in Washington and in the Courts we will lose the battle. I say support those organizations that are actually fighting for you. | |||

NRA - SCI & DSC Other organisations that help on the home front that i belong too: RMEF DU NAHC NAFC Since i have retired i have reduced the number of organisations that i have belonged to. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "You've got the strongest hand in the world.

Bill: I didn't mean to make SCI's problems seem insurmountable. To answer your question, join SCI, DSC, the NRA and the Conservation Force and support each to the extent you can. If there are things one of these groups does that bothers you, ignore it. The good each does far exceeds their real and perceived warts. Hunting and hunters have never been more threatened in the half century I have been closely following and reporting on the anti-hunting movement. Bill Quimby | |||

Don't particularly care for either DSC or SCI both were silent to the closure of hunting in Botswana kinda a Clinton or Trump decision neither will make America great again neither care but for themselves . I donated a elephant hunt to both for more years than I can remember the minute you stop donating blood they turn their backs on you much like the politicians will do , you are only as good as what they can get from you today. With all their supposed financial and supposed political influence in the big picture they achieve zilch. 30 years later I have learnt your money is better used with Conservation Force , The Hunting Report , Ron Thompson , NRA and country based hunting organizations. In the same way Kenya can come up with a million excuses why wildlife has declined , the fact remains they closed hunting and the rest is history , why is hunting becoming politically incorrect , why is hunting opportunities diminishing , why is hunting in Africa closing , ???? Maybe those entrusted to run with the ball have not , maybe they have failed hunting , just maybe money fame old boys clubs were more important than fighting the fight. Both SCI and DSC talk the talk but lets face it both have failed hunting in a big way , hence we are where we are globally . | |||
