SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter Wildlife Trailer
Wildlife Trailer Refresh
Last month our chapter refreshed the look of our Wildlife Trailer. With the help of chapter members Ron and Colleen Riggsbee, and board members Steve Corcoran and Dale Rimkus, it was completed in time for us to exhibit at the Illinois Deer Classic in Peoria, Illinois. The interior of the trailer is still full of many beautiful wildlife mounts, with most species from North America and some from Africa. When the trailer arrives for an exhibit, the larger mounts are moved to the outside of the trailer for display, including full body mounts of a grizzly bear, black bear, whitetail deer, mountain lion, wild turkey and coyote. We also have a moose head and caribou head that mount to the outside of the trailer.
Have An Upcoming Event?
Our Wildlife Trailer is a great way for our chapter to interact with the public. We use it to educate about wildlife conservation and the important role that hunting has. And we use it to let people know about our chapter and Safari Club International. If you know of an event, or a school, or an organization that would be appropriate for our trailer to visit, please contact any board member to let us know. And we are always in need of volunteers to help staff the trailer at events – no experience required!
