Default RE: New Hunt Club - how much, rules?? help!

reddneckk i run one in ouachita county ark.
we have 2000 acres and 15 members.
i started it and everybody looks to me to make rules.
rule number 1 respect other members. a club should be a group of friends who enjoy being togather and having good times. if you have a trouble maker get rid of them.
and then it's common sense to know to obey game laws.
QDM well i leave it up to the hunter. but i remind them if you kill it this year he won't be bigger next . and i have one on my wall and a video of him a year before to prove what a year will do.
i am just starting to consider work days . if you don't tell them what to do they start expecting you to do everything.
i guess my favorite part of starting a club is that i am the king. it's a lot better if the lease's are in your name. you can get rid of the trouble makers. just don't ask for there dues!
i pay an avg. of $3 @ acre. some as little as $2. as high as 3.65.
it depends the tract and who handles it or owns it. i like the lease's i have from owners instead of timber companys. they tend to be cheaper.
where are you looking at starting a club? There was about 600 acres in my area not leased that i didnt get . it may still be available.


EDDIEE you guys don't have deer camps in PA?
We have to lease around here. i couldnt afford to buy the land.
and some timber companys let me clear for food plots ,roads and to have places to even see in some these thickets. i know of several camps that have dozers come in every year and clear. they pay extra to do this. we don't destroy that many trees. skidders damage more than we do.
and some camps have been around so long that the lessors let them do what they want. my lessors let me cut firewood on mine as long as it is down or dead. and i can even sell it. i have there permission. i am cleaning up there land in a sense.it's going to rot if i dont use it.
