The problem is controlling the guest. If you could be sure the guest had the lease objectives in mind, then you could let the members decide if they wanted to give up their buck(s) to the guest. But you can't do that, can you?

I spend a lot of time educating the members as to what they can harvest, and I can't depend on some guest to just show up and do the right thing. We allow our guests to hunt the birds, quail and dove, as many hogs as they want, and we allow them to help us harvest does as per our harvest objectives, but they are NOT allowed to shoot bucks. Those ARE the big money animals. I've never had a problem with this policy on our land.

Having said that, I encourage members to bring guests to make the experience more enjoyable and because South Texas can be a dangerous place to hunt alone, but no bucks allowed.

Every club is different, so enjoy and good luck!
