ALASKA HUNTING CONSERVATION FOUNDATION

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HUNTING ALASKA!!!!

As Alaskan guides, we take great joy sharing wonderful experiences with people from all over the world. One of our greatest enjoyments is getting to meet successful people and share the experience of hunting Alaska with them. However, the wonderful memories you have of hunting Alaska, the future opportunity for your kids and grandkids to have the same experience, and your ability to come back to Alaska and create more memories are being threatened.

Alaska Professional Hunters Association has developed the Alaska Hunting Conservation Foundation (AHCF) to help ensure that you and future generations will have the ability to continue to come to Alaska and experience hunting that is not available anywhere else in the world. AHCF was formed to educate, inform, and fight for our hunting heritage, so everyone can continue to enjoy the adventures and memories that come with every single Alaskan hunt. This opportunity is under tremendous assault, and it is coming from many different directions. APHA has been able to fight the battles and keep the “wolves at bay” for a long time, but now the battles are intensifying and the opposition is becoming more aggressive at trying to take away your ability to hunt Alaska. We need your help! These fights are expensive and take surveys, studies, lawyers, educating Legislators, and full-time employees. Without all these arrows in our quiver, we will eventually lose the ability to hunt Alaska the way we have in the past. The AHCF’s organizers and officers are all involved with the Alaska Professional Hunters Association, which since 1969 has actively worked to conserve wildlife and promote the guided hunting industry. AHCF is a 501(C)3 that needs your support to step up our fight to preserve hunting rights and the opportunity to provide great hunting experiences in Alaska. Please consider making a tax-exempt donation to the Alaska Hunting Conservation Foundation so we can continue to hunt Alaska and pass on our hunting heritage for generations to come.

THERE IS NO HUNTING IN THE WORLD LIKE HUNTING ALASKA!
