Badger Hunting Club

Our Mission: To unite the hunting community at UW-Madison, to promote and create new hunters, and to engage UW students in the importance and benefits of hunting.

The Badger Hunting Club was founded in 2006 as a social club to unite the hunters at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  The club has evolved quite a bit since then, but our mission remains the same.  The Club accomplishes this by doing much of the leg work for hunters who may be unfamiliar with the Madison area.  We have locations of which we have permission to deer hunt, both with a gun and with a bow, as well as information on the public land in the area. We have members involved in all types of hunting, including: deer, turkey, waterfowl, pheasant, small game, and even members that have never hunted before and just want to learn!

Aside from offering great opportunities for our members, we do our best to preserve the hunting heritage of America, and specifically of Wisconsin.  We are active in promoting and sponsoring Learn to Hunt programs for novice hunters, teaching hunter safety classes, and exposing non-hunters to the joys and benefits of hunting. We try to portray hunting in a different light in order to break down some of the stereotypes people have about hunting by being active in habitat conservation, as well as viewing hunting as a means of acquiring sustainable, organic meat. Also, we are very active in helping our property owners manage their properties through providing working parties and helping out as needed. We also hold social events and wild game dinners for members in order to share in others successes.
