The group discussed plans for upcoming European leadership meetings, ideas for how relationships between the European chapters can be enhanced; possibilities for common European Chapter conservation projects; and strategies for SCI to more effectively combat the continuous attacks from anti-hunting groups in Europe.
In addition, the attendees agreed on the launch of a monthly European Crosshairs, designed to go out exclusively to SCI’s European membership with articles focusing on issues on European hunting interest. This article has been published in the inaugural edition of that new publication.
All participants agreed that SCI must increase membership in Europe and that SCI must maintain an active role in hunting advocacy in Brussels, the focal point of decision-making for the European Union.
