Welcome to SCI Tampa

Hello All,

Summer is here!  And, with a vengeance, as the rain season has started big time.  
I just returned from four days of training for SCI at the AWLS facility in jackson Wyoming. Now I understand why the teachers we send there come home awe struck. It is a truly amazing place. 

Please mark your calendars, as next year's "Night of the Hunter" Banquet which will return to Banquet Masters in Clearwater, but at a new date - February 22, 2020. Once again we are going to hold our banquet earlier next year so as to not interfere with spring hunting and the beginning of safari season. And, next year our banquet will be just after convention. 

For those that haven't heard, Safari Club International changed the date of the 2020 convention to better serve the attendees and vendors. The new dates are February 5-8 2020 in Reno Nevada. 

Please remember - "No matter what your pursuit, or where your travels take you to hunt, Safari Club International is there fighting for your right to hunt. Come joins us and help support Safari Club International and your local chapter."

​
Thanks for your support, see you at our events

SCI, First for Hunting. 

Jimmy Moreland,
Chapter President 

Tampa Chapter Safari Club International - Our Spring Drawing

We are doing something different this year starting this Spring. Each Season we are going to hold a sweepstakes raffle for a particular rifle or shotgun.

Since African Safari Season is now in full swing - so for the Spring Season we are offering you a chance at a Ruger Hawkeye African rifle in 416 Ruger caliber, topped with a Trijicon 1-4x24 Safari Scope, Ruger Rings and a Pelican Rifle case.Tampa Chapter Safari Club International - Our Spring Sweepstakes
