RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

I know... It looks promising, but then, we don't know any fine details yet. The whole place could actually be a pine forest with zero deer, you know?

Not to hijack this thread, but with me, I've been busy investigating the controversial "Sunday hunting" thing and the senate bill SB175. Word has it, it isgoing to be squashed again and again and again and again.... There are way too many opponents and way too much politics involved. I spoke with VA Farm Bureau and they told me the nitty gritty and how farmers, private land owners, and the VA Farm Bureau themselves are 100% totally, OPPOSED to allowing Sunday hunting. Heck, even the VA Deer Hunters Organization is opposed to it! I even spoke with Sen. Stolle's office in VA Beach and got no where.:eek:

So, now being extremely frustrated and a little pi$$ed off, I am looking at a hunt club in VA orsave my money and takea big out-of-state trip this season to Ohio or Kentucky or West Virginia.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....... [:@]

I would try to keep the members at around 5 - 6 with no visitors on a tract that size.

RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

YOU all will be happy to know that buckingham co just passed the rifle ordinance(for 2005). that was one of the reasons i didnt hunt here last year.

RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

Rifle ordinance? You mean they passed so you can userifles larger than a .22 for hunting, etc..etc...???? I know a bunch of counties that don't allow rifles.

Hey Todd did you get a chanceto look atthe property? What did you think of it?

RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

Well guys I looked at the property yesterday. It doesn't look to bad. About 60% of the land has been clear cut in the last 2 or 3 years. About 75 acres is planted pine and the rest is creek drainage that has hardwoods in it. There is a good road system that dissects through the land.The part that is clear cut hassome tree tops that was left over. There are no food plots planted. I tooka lot ofdigital pictures butI don'tknow how to share all of them with you guys. Callor PMme for directions and anymore info.

Thanks Todd

The land is in Appomattox Co. not Buckingham Co.

RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

Thanks, Todd... PM is on the way. I think I know exactly where the land is. It'son the border of Appomattox and Buckingham, but just inside Appomattox county,near the state forest. Right?

Butch A.

Edit: My bad.... I checked the road atlas... Thanks for the PM. I know exactly where it is now in Appomattox county!

RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

Butch,

forward me info as you get it, let's make this happen!

RE: Starting A Hunt Club in Va.
 

I will.... From what I gather after talking with Todd and getting PM's and so on.... we all need to act on this pretty quick, or else some other guys might slip in and snatch itout from under us.

If I got time on Sunday, I'm going to take a drive out there and check it out too. I suggest we all start planning something soon and PM'ing Todd and/or calling Todd, since he was the first to take the reigns on this.

CAN WE GET A HEAD COUNT??? WHO IS PRIMARILY INTERESTED? SPEAK UP!!!!
