Firearm Safety Certification
To obtain your firearms safety certification you will need to go to the MN DNR website and schedule your online course. You must have your online certification to participate in the Field Day. ​
2024 hunter safety season has come to an end. In 2024 we held a hunter safety field day every month from April till October. Each class averaged 25 kids with approximately 175 kids being trained.
The 2025 class schedule will be worked out over the off season with the first class being announced early spring of 2025.​
Each field day will be announced on this website and to each of our members at least 35 days before the date of the class.
30th Annual St Joseph Rod & Gun Club Fishing Contest
CANCELLED
We are sad to announce that due to lack of member support we won't be able to hold the annual fishing contest.
​
In its place we are happy to announce that we will be holding the first of what we hope will be many Outdoorsmans Raffles. Details will be out soon.

Fish Stocking
In 2024, the St. Joseph Rod & Gun Club stocked black crappie from 10000 Lakes Aquaculture in Kraemer Lake and Watab/Rossier Lake. These fish will hopefully adapt and increase the overall population of black crappie in both lakes. Interested in possibly donating more fish for Watab/Rossier lakes & Kraemer Lake please visit our donations page. Enter a brief description of what you would like to see done with your donation.
