ok just to keep everyone informed things are looking good and everything looks good with the insurance and everything else. as far as rules for the club. the rules are basically going to be common sence. everyone who pays a membership should treat the land as if it was your own. so that means of course you wouldnt leave trash, tear the place up, shoot at barns, shoot livestock, vandalism etc. you know the common sense things. i dont want to have to babysit or police anybody and i dont think anyone wants me to. i just want serious hunters who respect the management aspect of the club. im not putting in place a size limit on bucks cause i dont want to have to watch over people. i want you guys to police yourselves. if you have doubt of the buck then dont shoot it. if your hunting with your kids and its a first time deer then let them experience the harvest. but remember these leases are 5 year leases and we already have quality deer on the land and it is up to us to maintain that and manage that accordingly. i know there are some people upset with me about me not doing the dog thing cause some of you have called me and voiced your oppinions but as far as insurance and liability goes im just not going to do it cause i dont think its fair for everyone to have to pay big bucks to cover the cost especially since the majority of people really would rather still hunt then run dogs and i think its the best way to manage the deer by not running dogs. again i apoligize. i am really excited after talking to alot of you on the phone of the guys intrested in this club. all of you show the same desires as i do about doing this the right way and to be honest i was not expecting it. this is going to be a club of safety first and hunting second and i feel really good about those i have talked to. i will keep you posted as i get info in and then we can all meet up and you can look at the land and we can start taking dues and get this show on the road. now as far as dues its looking like the cost is going to be 350.00 to 400.00 a year. and i cant wait for the 2005 season and hunting with each and every one of you.
