Straits Area Sportsmen's Club

Since our inception in 1975, the Straits Area Sportsmen's Club has been a conservation and outdoor advocacy pillar in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Dedicated to promoting hunting, fishing, trapping, and the responsible stewardship of natural resources, the club is vital in educating and engaging its members, youth, and the broader community. 

Through various initiatives, workshops, and outreach efforts, the club fosters a deep appreciation for the region's rich outdoor heritage while empowering individuals to participate in conservation efforts actively.

The Straits Area Sportsman's Club (SASC) is a respected leader in conservation across Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  Through partnerships with prominent organizations like the Upper Peninsula Sportsmen's Alliance, Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), and the Eastern Citizens Advisory Council, the club is a voice for responsible wildlife management and habitat preservation.  Club members are influential advocates, actively contributing to policy discussions and conservation initiatives that support sustainable wildlife populations and protect outdoor recreational opportunities.

SASC's dedication to these efforts benefits current generations and ensures that future generations can enjoy Michigan's rich natural resources.  Their hands-on approach—whether through fundraising, educational programs for youth, or habitat improvement projects—exemplifies their commitment to conservation and community engagement.
