WCLSC setup a 10x10 booth alongside the Mass Conservation Alliance/Civil Rights Coalition. We greeted event attendees for 3 days,sharing the good deeds that WCL carries out year round. WCLSC featured a one-firearm event-only raffle - bolt action .308 scoped Savage Axis (with 2 boxes of ammo plus a gun case) , for funding the 2026 youth Junior Conservation Camp scholarships. MCA/CRC focused on the repeal Chapter 135 November 2026 campaign and the current bumper sticker and lawn sign campaign to resurrect the grass roots effort across the state.
There are many sportsmen that are not well informed about the deep reach of Chapter 135 affecting every firearm owner. Many firearm owners are not members of any club nor social media communities focused on archery hunting. At the same pace, many friends of WCL stopped in to say hello, purchase tickets, and give us their club updates. At the end of day 3, WCL enlisted an event exhibitor, Kaitlyn of United Blood Trackers- Trails on Tracking - NH, https://www.unitedbloodtrackers.org/, to pull the winning ticket, who is Steve A. of Westminster- who went over to our FFL Guardian Arms (located in Westboro MA) to pickup his prize.

WCLSC Donation - Hunter Share the Harvest, offsets butcher processing fees
On January 3rd, to kickoff the New Year, WCLSC met with the leaders of Mass Outdoor Heritage Foundation and Mass Wildlife at Mass Wildlife HQ to present a donation of $500 for the Hunters Share the Harvest Program. In discussions with the Foundation and Mass Wildlife, the most pressing need to continue to expand the program in 2024 is to find participating butchers through-out the state and raise funds to cover the deer processing costs. The Share the Harvest Program is completing its second year, whereby north central MA added a butcher to the program, building on the program success that started in SE Mass. WCLSC fundraising through its annual raffle and annual banquet auction/raffle program are sources of funds for these sportsman/woman related community programs. In the near future, Mass Wildlife will share details of the 2023 program participation, with the number of donated deer, pounds of venison, and number of families/meals provided. WCLSC thanks all the deer hunters who donated a deer to make this program a growing success.
