Hunters are an integral part of the outdoors community as a whole. The difference between us and others though; we partake in the natural rhythm of nature and are more in tune with nature’s balance. The North American Model of Conservation is of utmost importance if we are to keep our hunting heritage alive for future generations. I have become a believer in SCI and their fight for us as hunters. 

 Hunting has been an integral part of my life for longer than I can remember. From hunting hogs and turkeys as a young boy with family to guiding hunters to monster moose to hunting ibex in Spain. Hunting has taken me all over the world and will always be an important pillar in my life. I want to be apart of preserving our future as hunters and think that I can be a great help on the SCI Alaska Chapter Board of Directors.

 Growing up in Georgia it was always a dream and goal of mine to be an outfitter in Alaska. Even after a few detours in college and Pharmacy school moving up here was always the goal. And for one reason, hunting and guiding. As a guide, I meet hunters from all walks of life and from around the world. I have been up here for three years now and want to get involved in the fight for hunters. The successful attacks against hunting has increased alarmingly lately. I believe the only way to stop these attacks is to get involved with the right organizations, and SCI is one of those. 

Thank you for your consideration in serving on the Board and if selected I can assure you that I will be actively involved in preserving our rights with SCI Alaska.

Kyle Tripp

My name is Kyle Tripp out of Chugiak, Alaska and I am currently serving my last year in the Army, reaching my 20 years of service. Originally from Delaware, I was raised in farm country and have always considered myself to be an outdoorsman. Growing up primarily eastern style hunting for whitetail, it wasn’t until I came to Alaska in 2013 when my hunting interests and experience took off. I found my love for backcountry style hunting, and living in austere environments that was work related.

It wasn’t long after where I found my interests wasn’t just hunting or fishing, but conservation. I felt the passion to tell the story of each hunting adventure with my photos and dialog, and tailored each to show the ethical side of hunting. I volunteered with the Conservation Law Enforcement on Joint Base Richardson-Elmendorf and continue to help out their team at every opportunity. And each year, I try to invite a novice hunter along for an Alaska adventure, attempting to show positive experiences on what hunting should be.

Previously, I have hunted in Delaware, Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, Texas, Utah and Alaska. I am currently preparing for a 2024 hunt in South Africa, thanks to the latest SCI Banquet.

I am a firm believer in wildlife conservation and I would like to do my part to ensure hunting rights and habitats are protected.

Terri Mayeur

Greetings!  My name is Terri Mayeur.  I have been a resident of Alaska since August 1992.  I love the lifestyle we are afforded here in Alaska through hunting and fishing.  I grew up in a very anti-hunting / anti-gun home.  When I moved to Alaska I was introduced to fishing and a few years after that, to hunting.  It was an interesting transition for me, but I quickly realized how important it was to eat wild, organic meat that was ethically harvested.  I also learned what a valuable learning opportunity hunting and fishing was for a family.  Our children understood where our food came from.  Not from the sanitized meat counter at the grocery store, but from the wild and the circle of life. 

I believe it is up to us, as stewards of this earth, to protect the population of animals.  A well-managed population of animals keeps the animals healthy and available for generations to come.

Last year I decided I need to “put my money where my mouth is” with activities I support.  I want to become more involved with the activities I support because I am afraid if we do not speak up and support, it will be gone. 

Ryan Peyton

My name is Ryan Peyton, and I grew up in a conservation and hunting focused household. My father worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and I grew up on five different Federal Wildlife Refugees from Maine to Florida to Hawaii. Hunting and conservation have always been at the forefront of my mind. I learned to hunt when I was 10 years old and never stopped. 

Growing up and hunting on a refuge showed me the importance and role that hunters play in wildlife management, and how with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Model that we use in our country, hunters are required to enhance and regulate game. 

After spending 5 years as a hunting and fishing guide in South Dakota, I moved to Alaska to peruse the Alaskan dream. To pursue game in a world barely altered by man and to try to keep it that way for as long as possible. Currently, I serve as a board member of the Alaska Chapter of SCI and as the Refuge Liaison for Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. I hope to run for another two years so that I can continue to support SCI and its mission here in Alaska and beyond.

Jeremiah Williams

I grew up in Idaho fishing and hunting. I served in the US Army for 12 years my last station was at Ft Richardson. I enjoyed Alaska so I decided to stay. I am married and have 4 children that love to be out fishing or hunting. I joined SCi to help fight for hunters rights and preserve our way of life for our future generations. 

George Jacoby

I grew up in the Spokane Valley and graduated from E.W.S.C with a biology degree. After graduating I moved to Anchorage and have never left. 

As a kid I followed my dad around hunting and fishing all over Washington State. Now my son and oldest grandson follow me around caribou hunting and fishing on the Kenai River.  

After 40 years being self employed, I finally retired and spent 5 years on the Anchorage Advisory Committee and now 6 years on the Board of SCI. I lead the taxidermy committee  for our banquet display and am always looking for diversity and unusual mounts. 

I do not want to look back and say “We should have done that (to save a species).”  Lets react now to save our hunting heritage.

Brandon King

Hello everyone! I’ll try to keep this short and simple. I was born and raised in Brewer, Maine. I hunted a lot in Maine when I was a kid. I joined the Air Force in 1999 right out of high school. I got stationed here long story short. My tour started in 2004 and told myself I’m not leaving! I left active-duty Air Force in 2007 and joined the Alaska Air National Guard and retired in September 2019. I did a total of 20yrs 9 days and 8hrs 30 minutes with 3 deployments. I love hunting and everything to do outdoors. I put a lot of time in Unit 13 and was successful in some but not always. This brings me to the reason why I am interested in becoming a board member. In the last 5yrs we as Alaskan residents lost a lot of access to valuable resources in Unit 13, and I would like to join the Fight! I am a Lifetime Member and our Local chapter member. My wife Wendy King and I are also members with Alaska Waterfowl Association, Resident Hunters of Alaska. I would also like to include our corporate sponsorship from our business to all 3 organizations.

Thank you for your time,

Brandon King

Dan Williams

Dan was born and raised in Michigan where he married his high school sweetheart Kim. When he was 17 he shot a nice 8 point buck and has a local taxidermist Jim Dreeve mount it. After that he knew that he wanted to do taxidermy. After high school he did an apprenticeship with Jim Dreeves for a couple of years and won 1^st place professional division with a whitetail. At the age of 21 he opens his own taxidermy shop, Dan’s Taxidermy. From there he bought his mentor’s taxidermy business, Bay West Taxidermy. In 2002 Dan and Kim sold that business and moved to Alaska where there is plenty of more animals to hunt and fish. Dan’s passion is competing in the state, national and world shows where he keeps up to date on the newest forms and techniques.
