Annual Pheasant Fundraising Turkey Shoot & Dinner – Sunday, February 2nd, 2025

Lee Sportsmen’s Association invites you to our Annual Pheasant Fundraising Turkey Shoot & Dinner being held on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025. Turkey Shoot from 1pm – 4pm (volunteers needed), prizes include NY strip steaks, turkeys, pork loins, and spiral hams. Dinner from 5pm – 7pm, adults $15 and children 12 and under $10. Please contact Secretary John Polastri at (413) 822-8278 for any questions, concerns, or if you would like to help out in any capacity.

Every year, MassWildlife stocks an average of 40,000 pheasants on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and other lands open to the public. LSA helps raise and release these wonderful birds, which are stocked for recreational hunting and are paid for by revenue from license fees. However, the cost of raising and releasing the pheasants is the responsibility of LSA, and the caretakers are all Club volunteers. So, come on out for a day of fun and delicious food, and help support a great cause to ensure our continued legacy of wildlife management and hunting heritage in the Berkshires.
