Steve, It will cost $35 per year for a membership along with a great magazine to belong to a world hunting authority that, as Jeff says, is THE organization for standing up for our hunting rights. This $35 is something that is NOT out of alignment for joining any pro-hunting organization; esp. one as important as SCI. A fee that if hunting is as important to you as it is to me, is well worth it.

JWP, I do not want this discussion to become "NRA vs. SCI". If you are a responsible legal gun owner and also a serious "dyed in the wool" hunter, I do not see how one can afford to not be a member and a supporter of BOTH organizations.

And just in case you haven't looked around lately, ESPECIALLY these days.
