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.

Hunter Education in Virginia

As you may already know, first time hunters in Virginia must have taken a hunter's education course before they can buy a hunting license. If you are interested in learning to hunt, take the time to enroll in one of these classes. You'll learn the basic rules and regulations to keep you safe and legal in Virginia, and your certification is valid in all U.S. and Mexican states and Canadian provinces. It's a pretty good deal for a weekend of your time and you might get to meet some nice folks.

There is no charge for the Hunter Education class. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has a class locater on their website, and it looks like there are two available classes over the next two weeks for those interested.

Don't forget to send in your sporting life pictures and local services flyers/brochures for the bulletin board.
