After the death of Scalia February 13, the names of the other 35 guests at the remote resort, along with details about the connection Scalia hunters, they have remained largely unknown. A review of public records show that some of the men who were with Scalia on the ranch are connected through the International Order of St. Hubertus, whose members met at least once before on the same ranch for a weekend of celebration.
Members around the world, society for men only wear dark green robesemblazoned with a large cross and the slogan "Deum diligite Animalia Diligent" which means "Honoring God by fulfilling his creatures" according to the group's website. Some titles retention, as Grand Master, Prior and Knight Grand Officer. The name of the Order is in honor of Hubert, the patron saint of hunters and fishermen.
... American Chapter of the Society launched in 1966 in the famous Bohemian Club in San Francisco, which is associated with all men Bohemian Grove - one of the most famous secret societies in the country.
The Washington Post headline is not ambiguous, so let's clarify what this means. This is not a fraternity of "elite hunters" - not a club that welcomes the most highly skilled in the world hunters. It is, rather, a fraternity of men who are the economic elite and who also enjoy hunting. * It is a boys-only Davos with long arms.
The Davos example, I think, the best way to understand groups like this, and think about what is "secret" in such secret societies. Consider, for example, the Masons - that may be, oxymoron, the secret society better known. They gather in large rooms with Masonic, public signs identifying them as such. And the Masons themselves are not secretive about their membership in this secret society. They use rings and often even get special plates that identify them as members. They are on Facebook. For members of a secret society, they are very open about it.
But the Masons meet in private, in isolated meetings of the rest of the public. These "secret" meetings do not strike most of us as ominous because we know enough about similar meetings similar "companies" have a pretty good idea of what happens in this type of club meetings idea. I've been in rotary lunch with my father. I've had friends who ran the little league to the Elks Lodge. I myself spent several years as a member of South Philadelphia Fast-pitch Softball League. So the Masons do not worry me.
Masons, however, are older and spookier than moose or Rotarians. Such civic-average American most recent clubs are not "secret societies" in the way that Masons are, with all the strange paraphernalia and accoutrements robes and Latin phrases and rituals rumored made with the closed doors of which can never speak outside. The forced pageantry of such rituals usually turns out to be rather silly or embarrassing (just ask David Cameron), but the idea of them is what gives the secret societies intriguing attractive - both for members and for outsiders.
