2025 Denver SCI Banquet

Friday, April 11, 2025

at the Sanctuary in Sedalia, CO

Early Bird tickets go on sale February 10th at 9am MST, and close on February 15th at 6pm. Regular ticket sales will become active once the Early Bird period ends.
Buy Bobcat Bucks online and save $$$!
What are Bobcat Bucks and why do we use them? At our banquet, all games and gun drawings can only be purchased with Cash or Bobcat Bucks. This makes it easier for our volunteers to quickly and easily accept payments, as well as make change. This also eliminates multiple credit card fees and slow transaction times. When you buy your Bobcat Bucks online, you get a great discount.
If you forget to hit the ATM before coming to the banquet, Bobcat Bucks can also be purchased at the event, but they will be equal value (i.e. buy 100 Bobcat Bucks at the door and it will cost you $100 USD). When you buy online, in advance, you get a better deal!
Use your Bobcat Bucks for all the gun drawing tables and games EXCEPT the 2-in-1 Limited Drawings.
Bobcat Bucks cannot be used for Silent Auction, Live Auction, Drinks, or Vendor tables. They are only good for gun drawing tables and games.
To be extra clear, BOBCAT BUCKS CANNOT BE USED FOR 2-IN-1 LIMITED DRAWINGS, SILENT AUCTION, LIVE AUCTION, DRINKS/BAR, OR VENDOR TABLES.
What is a 2-in-1 Limited Drawing?
Do you remember our Stanley Thermos and Christensen Arms Rifle drawing last year? We sold 20 thermos mugs, each containing various amounts of Bobcat Bucks inside. Each buyer received a 1-in-20 chance to win the rifle. We drew the winner at the end of the evening.
Well… we are doing FOUR Limited drawings at our 2025 Banquet! More details to come!

Beverly Jean Wunderlich

4/10/1941 – 11/12/2024

We are sad to report that long-standing Life member of SCI and Sables has passed away following complications of her cancer diagnosis.

Bev was a pioneer among the women in Safari Clubs,  being among the first women to go by herself on hunting safaris and lead a successful Safari business, J/B Adventures and Safaris, started by Jack Jonas and Bev in 1972. Bev had been an avid exhibitor in Safari Club Conventions since opening her business and had plans to be at the 2025 Dallas and SCI Shows.  Bev started the Hell of a Hunt Organization and brought astronauts from the Apollo missions to hunt with handicapped hunters in Wyoming. On her many safaris in the 70’s , she would trade her blond hair for trinkets.

She was one of the original members and the first woman on the board of Denver SCI.  She competed in shot gun competitions in Colorado and loved tennis, golf and jewelry!

She is survived by her son, Brian Wunderlich and daughter,  Kristi Merkel, four grand children and was GG to four great grandchildren.  Her last days she spent recording stories to be read to her little ones after she was gone.

Bev had friends world wide and loved her SCI family.  She will be missed by so many.

 A Celebration of Life  will be held Sunday, December 29, 2024 3:00 PM at The Barn @Raccoon Creek 7301 W. Bowles Ave. Littleton, CO 80123

There is a block of rooms reserved for out of town attendees.  You can contact Mary Predovich, Denver Sables President, at mapredovich@yahoo.com  if you have questions.

Memorials can be sent to Safari Club Foundation via website in memory of Bev Wunderlich.   safariclubfoundation.org

A Look Back at 45 Years of Denver SCI

Denver SCI Chapter

I would like to introduce you to the Denver Chapter. Our chapter is made up of dedicated outdoors people- hunters and conservationists who have made the commitment to ensure that hunting and wildlife conservation will be preserved for our future generations. The Chapter members are an integral part of SCI by providing the funding through the local banquets to advocate for hunting world-wide. The great thing about raising money for the Chapter is that 70% gets to stay in the chapter to put into local projects such as humanitarian projects, education projects for teachers through the Denver Sables, conservation and youth projects.  Responding to local needs like helping to pay for a wildlife tunnel under a busy highway, sponsoring Colorado Youth Outdoors events, youth pheasant hunts, handicapped veterans and Craig hospital programs, and sponsoring teachers to the Outdoor Wilderness School at AWLS in Jackson Wyoming makes our fundraising efforts all worthwhile.

There is no separate membership to the Denver chapter but you are encouraged to affiliate yourself with a chapter since it is the best way to participate in your local hunting community. The Denver Chapter periodically sends out updates via the Constant Contact emails and you can see all that is happening though our website www.denversci.org.  You are welcome to attend any of our meetings which are usually held the first Tuesday of the month and are a combination of in-person meetings at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center and conference call meetings. Let me know if you would like to attend any meetings so you can get the meeting announcements via e-mail.

Ways to get involved with the Denver Chapter: 

  • Attend the annual meeting for all members, held in May or June each year.
  • Seek out possible donors, vendors for the banquet: hunts, art, or goods and services
  • Volunteer your special skills (writing, photography, sound, graphics, instruction)
  • Participate in Sables and chapter activities
  • Join the Sables to support the education arm of SCI
  • Support the Humanitarian projects of our chapter.
  • Attend the Trophy Room Tours throughout the year.
  • Share your trophy room for a cocktail party.
  • Connect with the legislative efforts at the state and Federal level to keep hunting possible in Colorado and across the United States.

The Chapter is inviting you to be a member at no charge. You only have to maintain your National SCI membership to be part of the Denver Chapter. If you do not wish to be a member of the Denver Chapter please let me know otherwise welcome to the Chapter.
