Obviously the minimum set of rules you can go by would be to follow state regulations. In Florida, we have a Spring and Fall Turkey season. But in the hunting club the rule is no fall harvest of Turkey. So that sucks, but in the end it’s worth it because of the Turkey population and the size of the Toms that are harvested. You can do whatever you want. I would definitely suggest keeping member numbers down if the money allows for it. My club has about 5200 acres and we have 52 members. So that’s ridiculous and when the hunting starts, it’s almost over because of the pressure. Just because the state has it regulations you can make your own. If you want the deer population to stay the way it is or be better have each member take only one or two bucks and 1 or two does. Then you can continue to make inventory and go from there for the following years. I would love to be able to be a club president and run the show but it’s a lot of work and do the best to please everyone. But again if you have some good friends or some family members that can join in, y’all won’t have to worry about anything.

Our club has not antler restrictions. We put up club stands in the areas determined by the Board of Directors. All private stands are club stands and anyone can sign into one after 6:30 am. No private stand can be placed within 100 yards, yes yards, of a club stand. On organized hunts the Board decides the areas and the stands to be used. Members then draw a number corosponding to the stands. No one can fill a tag of another member period. Members are responsible for their one guest and must make sure the guest fews are paid. All members MUST work 24 hours before the season begins on scheduled work days.

Just some of our rules. Board of Directors have final say on any problems.
