The Ontonagon Valley Sportsmen's Club is a community based non-profit conservation organization dedicated to promoting safe and prudent hunting, fishing, trapping and other recreational opportunities in the Ontonagon River Valley Watershed Area by enhancing habitat for those species that are native or traditional to this area. We participate in activities such as native brook trout restoration and fish planting projects, cleanup of local streams, brown trout capture for scientific studies, construction and distribution of wood duck houses, and act as a forum for local input regarding the management of our area's wildlife.

The OVSC is a strong supporter of our area youth. We participate in the annual 6th Graders Camp Nesbitt Program by providing instructors for their Archery, Black Powder and Shotgun programs. Throughout the summer, we provide outdoor sportsmen oriented activities such as casting instruction and contests at local community events. In cooperation with the Ontonagon County Sheriff's Dept., we sponsor the Eddie the Eagle firearms safety program which is presented in our local elementary schools. We sponsor both youth & women's rifle and shotgun shooting programs during the summer and conduct youth outings throughout the year. The OVSC also promotes continuing education thru the Doug Johnson Memorial Scholarship program by offering $500 scholarships to a young man and a young woman graduating from any area watershed school for help with their post high school education or training.

The OVSC also provides sponsorship for area women to attend the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program. The BOW program introduces women to a wide variety of outdoor related activites from photography, to canoeing, to plant identification to shooting events. The OVSC raises funds to support these many commitments by holding an annual Fall Sportsmen's Unlimited Banquet, a Spring Smelt Fry, a Fall Turkey Shoot, and .....of course.....membership dues. If you would like to become a member, please mail in the attached membership form along with $10 (payable to OVSC). Meetings are always held the first Tuesday of every month with the time and location published in the Ottawa Shopper.
