SCI PAC Big 5 raffles
#7633 - 28/01/04 07:32 PM

I watched a video last week of the safari for elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino of the winner of one of the SCI PAC Big Five Raffle winners.

I tried to enter one of these raffles maybe 8 years ago, but unfortunately it being a "Political Action Fund" they couldn't accept foreign contributions (in the USA) and returned my payment.

I was wondering, are these raffles for the Big Five still run, or not?

About the only way I would ever get to hunt more than a couple on one safari or anything like white rhino.

I have a friend who won one of those about 8 years ago. By the time he paid the taxes, paid for his son to go with him and paid the additional trophy fees he was into it for over $80k. Not bad for a 'free hunt'.

SCIPAC has fallen on hard times this year because of it's reorganization by SCI. They are having some sort of raffle but they have alienated most of the people that bought the tickets so I don't know how it will go. They have extended the deadline from the Convention to sometime in August.
