Metz Ridge Runners, Inc.

Metz Ridge Runners, Inc. Enjoy the trails in Waushara county. Founded in the fall of 1972 by Wm.

(Toad) Kempf, David Winter, and Sandy Gurgel with the cooperation of Tapp's Tap, Metz, WI (Joe & Doris Tapp, proprietors), the club was named after the town of Metz and bar owner Joe Tapp's nickname of Ridgerunner. In 1973 the club was incorporated and shortly thereafter joined the AWSC with 100% membership. In 1975 the club started working with county agencies to develop some of the most scenic, enjoyable, groomed trails connecting Waushara, Winnebago, and Waupaca counties.

This deer kill occurred OFF trail, south of Metz on our landowner funded trail system. The local team of wardens agree that this deer was purposely targeted by a snowmobiler. Local wardens and law enforcement have committed to step up patrol in our area and their presence is already being noticed even with the recent closing of trails. Riding off trail and riding on closed trails are key causes to trail closures.

Stay ON trail or stay home! No exceptions. Don't be the one that ruins it for the rest of us!

If you have any information regarding this terrible incident please contact the Wisconsin DNR Tip Hotline at 1-800-TIP-WDNR (1-800-847-9367).
