This was from the president of our club. We think we can sign up for this year for $5,500 or $5750. With insurance that amounts to $928 (at $5,500) for 7 members, $812 for 8 guys and $722 for 9 guys. Its getting up there in price but like I said, its either a walk in my backyard to access it or a 5 minute drive to reach the rest. I agreed without hesitating but thats because my business is doing well enough where I can afford it. I'm not sure how many people can actually pay that much.
I love archery more than anything and the great thing is, I pretty much have the whole lease to myself most of bow season and I get out a lot. The place gets hammered hard gun season by members and we are allowed to bring a guest. After a few days of firearm season and things totally shut down but by that point I've already had 2.5 months of bow to myself.
We had some guy bring a guest last year that took out 3 does in 5 minutes from one stand......i'm starting to have issues with guests taking a lot of deer out but I think I'm in the minority on that one so i just keep quiet but that will be a discussion for another post
