Oklahoma sportsmen’s organization to give away $25,000 worth of outdoor getaways
For the next few months, sportsmen could win big simply by being a member of the Oklahoma Station Chapter of Safari Club International, a major supporter of wildlife conservation who is giving away $25,000 worth of free outdoor getaway trips now through September.
According to Mike Mistelske, SCI’s Oklahoma Station Chapter president, new members as well as current members who sponsor newcomers to the organization are entered to win a range of free getaways. Trips to be given away range from waterfowling opportunities in Oklahoma to pheasant hunting in Kansas, fishing in Alaska, and even hunting trips abroad in locations like Namibia and Macedonia. The trips range in value from $1,200 to $10,000 and will be given away courtesy of the Oklahoma Station Chapter of SCI.
Complete details are available on the chapter’s website at oklahomastationsci.org. The site provides descriptions of the six trips to be given away as well as membership applications for those interested in joining the organization and entering to win a trip.
The Oklahoma Station Chapter of Safari Club International offers support and funding to local conservation efforts that benefit the sportsmen and wildlife of Oklahoma. The chapter is a supporter of projects conducted by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, such as the Hunters Against Hunger program that coordinates the annual distribution of over 30,000 of pounds of venison to needy families. The Chapter is also a sponsor of the Wildlife Department’s Oklahoma Wildlife Expo, which educates tens of thousands of Oklahomans each year on the value of wildlife and the outdoors to quality of life in Oklahoma.
The organization also has helped fund the purchase of an airboat used by the Wildlife Department on waterfowl surveys and other wetland management tasks, and several trailers for use in the Department's Shotgun Training Education Program (STEP). The STEP program introduces both youth and adults to shotgun shooting techniques and the proper handling of firearms. The Oklahoma Station Chapter also partners with the Wildlife Department each year to hold an annual youth essay contest that provides youth a chance to share their feelings about Oklahoma’s outdoors and to win great prizes, including a guided pronghorn antelope hunt in New Mexico. Additionally, the chapter purchased eight elk for introduction into an existing herd in southeast Oklahoma.
