I bet being in charge of a big club is like herding cats.

More like tryn' to nail jello to a tree

You lost me with all the crap rules. sorry
I would be willing to bet that most of these rules are a result of experience and most of them are "just in case" rules. For instance: I'm guessing this guy doesn't want to search anybodies truck, and probably never will, but! If a bad situation arises, he has a rule in place that would allow him to search your truck and/or remove you from the club, and if I was a member, and some crack head had gotten in the club - I would be glad the rule was in place.
If the president abused the rules & searched everybodies truck whenever he wanted - different story for me and I would be gone...............unless the deer huntin' was reallllllly goood!!

thought the last members rule was funny,time travel to plant or bait lol
Members may hunt or put up stands all the way up to any club boundary, but cannot feed, plant food plots, put up mineral licks or install any type of feeder unless it is at least a minimum of 250 years away from club boundary.

i THINK THAT'S JUST A friendly agreement with the other clubs/landowners

havent been on in awhile to read all these new threads but heres my .02. You cant have a big club like that without having a bunch of members to pick up the $$$ for the lease. With more than a handfull of members, you need to have a set of rules. A strict set of rules that govern everything. For instance, If a member reads the rules and notices there isnt a rule for target shooting, he assumes he can shoot whenever and wherever he wants. We all know that is unacceptable but if there isnt a rule against it theres no way to govern it. You must have a strict and thorough set of rules.
Now if you and your buddies all throw in money and lease 600 acres to hunt together, you may not need a set of rules. Just depends on how like minded and how close of friends everybody is. I personally would still have a set of rules. Without rules and even more important, without strictly enforcing said rules, you will quickly have a club that turns into a circus and that club wont last long.
I do think its a little weird that the president is the only one allowed to hunt hogs in the off season but there may be a very good explanation for it. Also, IMO there should be a public kept log of all incoming funds for guests, stands, fines, ect.. If i was in that club i would want to know exactly where all the money is going.

Winner Winner chicken dinner.......if there ain't a rule against, then it must be allowed. I am amazed at how many folks think that way. Write it down then there is no doubt.

We only have a few guys with lots of land (1200ac), but the deer concentrate in less than half of that, so you get two spots to call your own as long as you stay 250yds from another guy. You can spend as much as you want (or as little) improving those spots....nobody else gets to hunt there. We also have a couple of joint areas where all costs are split equal (fert, diesel, seed, lime, etc). It works for us but we have had to weed out a couple of folks over the past few years. Less is more.

this was posted on another forum about the club.As alot of people suspected this club seems to revolve around the club president.Takes all of reading into the rules for 3 minutes to know that.I understand the importance of the rules but alot of those rules seem to follow behind a dictatorship and not really what the entire clubs agrees on.After all IF IT WASNT FOR PAYING MEMBERS.i WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS PRESIDENT FLIP THE BILL ON 12000 ACRES BY HIMSELF.

don't make the rules, I choose to abide by them to be a member. I have been in the club for 18 years. Rules suck but some former members thought rules did not apply to them. When you join a club it just give you permission to hunt and use the land as the owner see fit. Thats all I exspect when I joined.
Membership is 1250.00 for member,wife and kids to 16.
Camp is 300.00 for a site w/water and power is on you.
Shower house, walkin cooler and end of season club BBQ+raffell.




tHIS WAS A FOLLOW UP BY SOMEONE THAT WAS IN THE CLUB RESPONDING TO DAVEDIRT.




I was going to stay away from this but it seems others are smelling it a bit too
This is what I saw and Yes you were in on it and you where new to the club
and did some machinery work for the Pres.
#1 The rules favor the owner of the Lease Period as you all read TRUE
Members Have ZERO to say Period TRUE
You along with others who do favors get spiffs ( I was there)
In fact when I had about enough with all the Bologna this was the finisher
I had found a new site and marked it,also Placed a bump feeder about 25 yards in off the road
I get a call on the CB about my stand sight and how it needed to be removed
Pres was waiting for me ( you know the site you and Doug took it)
The pres said Dave and Doug have this site I asked" How could that be???" I'm on the map at camp here are the streamers
on the road and a 55 gal barrel right there ( I pointed)
I was told that he picked it along with one or both of you.Stated my ribbon was too short !!!!! Not exactly on the trail ( No Branch's Bossman)
burning up I pulled on each (2)
They where as he said not long enough nor near enough
I measured them about each 18-22inchs he said a mn of 24
He then went on to say we put the barrel on your access in and needed it out asap
I asked him to show me your stand/feeder??r his reply was you had not gotten to it yet
Come on!!! If this was true in any way shape form how come no RIBBONS or mark on Main board map
Next I will explain where the Deer in the PITCH book used to come from!! They came form a special muzzle
loader hunt up north of Tallahassee I could be wrong on the direction from Tally but it was a Black powder hunt
I believe around Jan/Feb,
Don't know if it changed but most pictures excluding hogs had little or zero back ground,so no telling where they were taken
In the 3 years I as there many hogs killed ( my only reason to stay) by members in that time a total of 5 deer that I can recall \
that was the entire membership, Art's son Little Art, Randy R, Mike W. Gary C,hippy guy,
Also one guy who shot a good deer got pushed out ,fed up
I believe the Pres and or Freddy took the site along with pushing the hippy guy out
It was the first on the left going through the gate if memory is correct?
Oh and I almost forgot about all the rude Letters sent out of how people better do this and that!!!
including too say how much they should practice shooting LOL some always needed help to
track a poorly placed shot on a hog 25yds from stand LMAO
Last year when this started on this very page you seemed real upset with me for saying
Buyer beware now all this and you seem to take a different approach
I will not repost and beat this dead horse
Every year even during good and Bad financial times a club is looking??
seems to say something?? The land is ruff to say the least
I'll help you on this one from your reply last year
YES we had a kegerator at camp,played cards at night, most our neighbors
par-took but no one complained, including Red & family who a lot (north Camp area)hated because
he was the BEST dog hunter in that club
