The Alamance Wildlife Club is a private Club on private property.  Only members and their accompanied guests are allowed on the property at any time. The Club presently has 110 active members.  Club meetings are generally held the first Monday of each month, with a steak dinner, club business, and a program formatting the evening.  The Club does not allow hunting on club property but does encourage shooting sports on the archery, trap, skeet, rifle, and pistol facilities.  Retriever trials, Boy Scout of America activities, hunter safety classes, fishing rodeos, sanctioned trap and skeet tournaments, NCWRC events, and other like programs are all part of the Club's civic and educational stewardship with the community. 

The Club maintains on the property for its members a clubhouse, a caretaker's house, several out buildings, a trap and skeet range, a 200 yard rifle and pistol range, an archery range with a shooting tower, four well-stocked lakes and ponds, and 2 miles of roads and trails. One established road goes up and along a mountain ridge, an ancient remnant of the most northeastern part of the Uwharries, which overlooks our property below.  As part of a timber and land use program that was initiated in 2002, the Club has started restoring several tracts of property for premium wildlife habitat with food plots and forest restoration.  Deer, turkey, rabbit, songbirds, geese, ducks, quail, and a wide variety of fish make up our wildlife residents.  

The Clubhouse and Caretaker's home are located at the end of Wildlife Club Road, which is 6.7 miles south on Hwy.87 from I40-85.  The Clubhouse will currently seat close to 100 members and guests for cook-your-own steak dinners, using the attached covered charcoal grill.  The Clubhouse often serves as a place to teach Hunter Safety Courses, which are required for hunting licenses. Club members help local wildlife officers with these courses.  See a local wildlife officer or contact the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and their listings of Hunting and Safety Classes on their website at http://www.wildlife.state.nc.us/fs_index_04_hunting.htm  for more information on upcoming class schedules at the Alamance Wildlife Club. 

The Club's facilities, lakes, and grounds are used by club members, their families, and accompanied guests for educational and recreational purposes. The Club has about 285 acres with several roads and trails that are used for nature walks to educate young and old alike about the out-of-doors and proper management of our natural resources. There's always a good chance they may see some wildlife in the fields, lakes, or woods.  The lakes not only are used to fish and train dogs in but also serve as focal points for the Annual Ducks Unlimited Fishing Rodeo, which is open to all kids to encourage fishing, and several area Retriever Trials held each year.  Gun safety is strictly enforced on our gun ranges at all times. Our Rifle and Pistol Range can accommodate targets up to 200 yards.  Our two trap ranges and skeet range are used by members and their accompanied guests and also for scheduled local area competitive shoots.
