yes the hunt clubs do cost money you pay rent put up food plots ,stands and such but that is the problem in Va all the hunt clubs have a monopoly on all the good land hunting and fishing. and another problem i have with hunt clubs it this they take way more deer than any one needs for a year. I have even personally seen hunt clubs kill and let deer lay when they have there freezers full. Why? because they like to hunt and they like to keep the dogs in shape. all so i have seen many a hunt club shoot a deer at the tail end of the season and cut the loins out maybe the rear quarters and leave the meat to rot. This is wrong wrong wrong. I guess some clubs are better than others but Va hunting is in sad shape for some one that is not a good ole boy who does not believe in dog hunting. where i came from dogs hunted rabbits and coon dogs that chased deer were shot on sight
