Our Mission

The Fieldsport and Angling Society seeks the growth of sporting traditions and to encourage positive attitudes towards such traditions within the law school and in society as a whole. We seek to maintain an approachable atmosphere that encourages interested students to learn with us about these safe and enjoyable outdoor pastimes. We encourage the responsible use and protection of watersheds, forests, and farmlands. We enjoy and embrace our role as a steward of and active participant in the natural world. We recognize the equal dangers posed to sporting traditions by irresponsible practitioners and also by misinformed opponents of our traditions. As such, our primary goal is education through responsible model behavior and dedication to the ideals of sportsmanship, safety, fair chase, respect for private property, conservation and transmission of tradition.

Interested in Getting Out?

We get together semi-regularly to shoot sporting clays at Quail Ridge. If you are interested in getting together for a round, drop us a line. We'll add you to the email list that goes around.

Additionally, we have several members who are avid anglers who would be happy to get a line wet.

Bulletin Board

There comes a time in every organization's first year when it must tear down the edifice of the past (in this case, some PAT BAR prep course materials) and build for the future. The Fieldsport and Angling Society Bulletin Board is in a sorry state, for which I must apologize. To remedy this, I would appreciate it if you could send photos of yourselves engaging in the interests that led you to join this organization. Photos of members on fishing trips, members busting clays, members posing with 85 pound Mekong Catfish, and, of course, any compositions involving tweed would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'm just going to post some pretty pictures from last month's Gray's Sporting Journal.

I would also like to have brochures from local sporting businesses. I've already picked up a short stack from the Glorious Twelfth. If you know of a local range, shop, or guide service, ask them for a stack of flyers to help fill our role as an introductory path to participation in local sporting opportunities.

Speaking of the Glorious Twelfth, when I grabbed the stack of brochures, I found out that they have a Ladies' Group that meets once a month. If you are or know of a lady into shooting, you might want to give them a ring to find out what it's about. It sounds like a fund way to get out and shoot without having to deal with a bunch of dudes ruining the atmosphere.
