Barbertown Sportsmen's Club - Established - 1947

Barbertown Sportsmen's Club, was formed in 1947 by a local group of farmers and landowners in the Hunterdon County/Kingwood Twp. area of Frenchtown, NJ to form a club of outdoorsmen to enjoy hunting and the outdoors after WWII had ended and they returned home safely.

In July 1956 Barbertown Sportsmen's Club, Inc. was incorporated as a 501(c)(7) Non-profit organization in the Social Club/Amateur Hunting & Fishing Club Category.

The purposes for which the Barbertown Sportsmen's Club is organized are to conserve, restore, and manage wild game, fish and other wildlife and to improve the habitat and environment on club owned &/or leased properties; to seek to improve and better fishing and hunting opportunities for sportsmen; to promote and maintain friendly relations with landowners, sportsmen and the community; and to provide information and education about hunting and fishing to club members, landowners, other hunting and fishing clubs, and the general public. 

The club has been around for quite some time as you can see and we plan on being around for a long time so that we and our children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy the outdoor experiences that we have all come to enjoy and love.

The current BSC officers and club members are aggressively pursuing many ventures, including but not limited to:

(1)     Chartered and sponsored the Lockatong Creek Branch (Central New Jersey area's first QDMA Branch) of the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA).

(2)     Reaching out to landowners, other hunting clubs and hunters, and to the community to educate them on quality deer management and habitat improvement techniques based on scientific facts.

(3)     Implementing a Quality Deer Management Plan on all club owned and leased properties.

(4)     Implementing and maintaining a NJ Forest Service approved Forest Stewardship Plan on club owned property & maintaining plans on our leased properties to assist our landowners.

(5)     Sponsoring firearms and archery safety training programs, organized shoots, etceteras for local Boy Scouts of America (Troops and Packs) on our newly improved gun and archery ranges.

(6)     Supporting (through club donations) the Kingwood Twp. Fire Dept. and Kingwood Rescue Squad. 

These are just a few of the many activities that we are undertaking at this time.  More great things are in store for the future.

BARBERTOWN SPORTSMEN'S CLUB IS "THE" PLACE THAT ALL OUTDOORSMEN AND OUTDOORSWOMEN WANT TO BE!!!
