Since 1946, the primary focus of the Calumet-Keweenaw Sportsmen's Club has been deer feeding, fish stocking and conservancy advocacy.  The Club has been a tireless advocate for fishing and watershed conservation, outdoor education, improved hunting and fishing opportunities and protecting public access rights in the Keweenaw.

When local and state decision makers are faced with important decisions on wildlife management and sportsmen's issues, they need to be aware of the economic and political clout of Keweenaw hunters and anglers.   Grass roots action can be the deciding factor on political issues protecting sportsmen's interests.  Through letter writing campaigns and attendance at public meetings, we urge local and state legislators, the Michigan DNR and the Michigan Natural Resources Commission to make environmentally responsible and user friendly decisions that benefit the Keweenaw and our hunting and fishing resources.  We also oppose anti hunting and fishing legislation.  Through membership in Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, U.P. Sportsmen's Alliance, U.P. Whitetails and Michigan United Deer Hunters the club extends its strength as an influential grass roots organization.

Supplemental deer feeding is still the major club project with club members providing the manpower to obtain and disperse the feed in established deer yards throughout the Keweenaw.  Without this supplemental feeding, the severe Keweenaw winters would not sustain adequate deer populations for hunting (a huntable herd) and recreational viewing.  
Land
Through a generous donation in 2003 by Keweenaw natives and long time club members Ernie and Edith Niederer, the club now owns a wooded 13 acre parcel on the Phoenix Farms Road in Keweenaw County.  The land acquisition jump starts our dreams and plans for a club house, shooting and archery ranges, nature trails, picnic and meeting facilities.  The club also envisions planting trees and food plots to support wildlife.  Profits from major fund raisers such as the club's annual gun/sports show and raffle go to our Keweenaw Legacy Building Fund for the development of the property.

The club and its members have been and continue to be active in supporting the community.  Members have volunteered their time in stream and pond cleanups, hosting dinners for high school sports teams, serving as advisors for Michigan DNR land acquisition projects, co-sponsoring a youth fishing derby at Swedetown pond and writing support letters for Keweenaw County public land acquisition.  The club also made a recent contribution to the Lake Linden School Forest for development of an archery range.

Club dinner meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month at the VFW hall on Larch St at US 41 on the north side of Calumet.  Dinner prepared by our outstanding chefs is served promptly at 6PM.  After dinner the club features guest speakers addressing fishing, hunting, deer feeding, conservation issues and additional topics of interest to Keweenaw sportsmen and sportswomen.

Jim Junttila, our publicist and club past president prepares our newsletter.  Jim's an accomplished outdoor sports writer and the entertaining letter describes club activities and plans.  To get your name on the mailing list, send a note to the Club's PO box or email Mike Dudenas at mdude@pasty.com.
