Waterfowl season is finally here! Our volunteers have been busy making sure others can enjoy their seasons - brushing blinds, leading youth hunts - and we wish you all happy hunting. Read on for the latest on drought conditions, border regulations for those ducks you shoot in Canada and how you can help with wild rice restoration in Wisconsin. | |
Plus, you won't want to miss your chance to get in on the $1060 Kimber Hero Custom II 45acp our Waukesha Chapter is raffling off on the 15th. And check out the rest of our class A raffles here.
I hope you enjoy our October edition...

Buy Low, Give High. Give Stock
For a bigger tax break, give appreciated stock. You will receive a charitable deduction based on the fair market value on the date the stock is transferred to us, and you’ll completely avoid capital gains tax. Make sure not to sell the stock first! It should be a direct transfer. So, give smart, give stock, and help WWA!
