The Red River Area Sportsmen’s Club was organized to promote and improve hunting, fishing and other outdoor-oriented recreation in the cities of Wahpeton, ND and Breckenridge, MN and the surrounding area.
We are a local non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of wildlife habitat and host events for youth to give them the opportunity to enjoy and learn to respect nature and wildlife. We work with other State and Local organizations in North Dakota and Minnesota to promote hunting, fishing and outdoor activities in both states.
Our goal is to make sure that there is opportunity in the future for youth and adults alike to be able to enjoy nature and its inhabitants.
