The Blue Mountain Chapter Safari Club International has recently provided the Pennsylvania Game Commission with several helpful tools to protect and manage wildlife.
The club most recently donated a $2,500 set of night-vision goggles to western Perry County Game Warden Steve Brussese. The chapter two years earlier also donated a $1,700 robotic deer decoy to Perry County game wardens.

Additionally, this 8x7 bull elk, pictured below, along with a mature adult cow elk are now roaming the Sproul State Forest sporting GPS radio collars that were purchased with proceeds from the club's 2019 annual banquet.
