About Augusta Sportsmans Club

Although it started out as The Eau Claire County Conservation League in 1937 with about 300 members, the first official meeting was in January of 1935. Members were from Eau Claire, Altoona, Fall Creek, Augusta, Osseo & Fairchild.

The club's objective was (taken directly from their constitution):
     — the preservation of game & game fishes and song & insect-eating birds
     — to procure the enactment of desirable legislation insuring a better protection of game & game fish and song & insect-eating birds
     — to lend assistance in the proper enforcement of game laws & in general, to promote a closer unity of fellowship among all true sportsmen & lovers of nature

The club was setup with 9 directors with elected officers. The same officers are still elected today.
     — President
     — Vice President
     — Secretary/Treasurer
