Initially, the club focused on raising young pheasants to be released for local hunters.  In the 1970's, they were among the first in the state to use limestone to help neutralize the acidity of a local trout stream.

 

 

The club is currently involved in programs that will sustain the precious resources of the Commonwealth, and educate our youth about conservation.  They are involved in the Adopt-A-Highway program, and provide a free meal to volunteers following a highway clean-up.  They've placed 55 gallon drums along a local trout stream for anglers to throw their trash in while fishing.  Warsaw's members also help stock the stream and others in the area with buckets and floats.  The club holds several turkey shoots in the spring and several more in the fall.

 

 

Like most others, the members of Warsaw recognize that interest in hunting and fishing are declining, so they are taking steps to recruit new members to our way of life.  The Warsaw Township Sportsman's Association has been involved in trying to get youth interested in hunting and fishing for over 20 years.  Additionally, the club helps sponsor the Jefferson County Youth Field Days, and has been holding Hunter Education Classes for over 20 years.  This year they were surprised by the over whelming interest in their Hunter Education Class; they actually had to sch4edule a second class for November 21-22, 2009.  This was the first time a second class was needed to get all the interested youth trained.  The classes are held at the club, and the club volunteers serve a free meal to everyone who attends each session.

 

 

While the club is small, the work they undertake is not.  Their dedicated and selfless volunteers work tirelessly to promote our outdoor heritage and keep our youth interested in the outdoor sports.

 

 

Warsaw Sportsman's business meetings are on the 1st Wednesday of each month and another meeting is held on the 3rd Wednesday.  The second meeting is dedicated to topics related to hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities and issues. Meetings always start at 8:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
