Morning
The hunt
Registered teams of three hunt where they already have legal access, following Wisconsin small-game rules. The hunt is one optional part of the day.
Our signature legacy event
Annual Rabbit Hunt & Banquet
The Hunt to Cure MS.
Since 2002, the hunt has brought family, friends, and neighbors together for a day of tradition and generosity. The 24th annual event was held February 7, 2026.
The day
Come for the tradition.
Stay for the cause.
We are not a hunting club. We are a volunteer-led MS fundraiser with an outdoor heritage—and a place for hunters, families, businesses, and first-time guests alike.
Afternoon
The fundraiser
Food, raffles, games, and live and silent auctions for 500+ guests. Most of the money raised comes from the afternoon—hunters and non-hunters alike.
Mid-afternoon
Why we're here
A brief pause to hear from our board and our partners at the National MS Society about what your support makes possible.
