Hell I think it would be a privilege just to go see the place and the accomplishments y’all have made so far. The hell with hunting, I just like to see great pieces of ground. Also I did check around down here for an alternative feed for y’all but have been unsuccessful other then rice bran. That’s not what y’all are looking for. I did find a really good feed but it’s not cheap here. Pm me and I will give details if y’all haven’t heard about it yet. 👍

Nice post Mike. Sorry about the one that got away and glad you did well in the midwest!

Great job to you and Hogwild on the club!

I was messin with ya. Sounds like you've got a good policy though. Good luck finding some good folks

Guys,
If you send Squeaky a PM via Aldeer, please include your phone number in the message so that he can get back with you. He is having issues with Aldeer while out on the Rig and is unable to respond via the PM function.
Or, if you would like, just attach me as well and we will be able to get back with you in a timely manner.

Thanks, and sorry for the trouble!! 👍

I am bumping our thread to the top for anyone considering a top end club that manages for mature deer, low pressure with a hunter to land ratio of 1:323. We have settled on a plan to have 17 members on 5500 acres at a cost of $4825. This COVID-19 crap has thrown a monkey wrench in a lot of folks plans for this coming hunting season.

There is a lot of information included in this thread but I'll be glad to answer any questions you have if you do not care to read through it.

how many locals hunt the club?

There are two locals in the club. One is Danny (Hogwild) which is VP of the club. I think he hunted a total 7-10 times all season and killed his 3 mature bucks. I don't think he has made a turkey hunt yet this season.

Dk, you dont have to worry about Danny being in your way up there. He kills his three early (normally one in muzzle loader and the othe two by the second dady of gun season) and then just shows up to help clean and cape out bucks. He normally misses most all of the work days though.

Seriously, I can vouch for both Danny and Squeaky. With what they have and what they are doing, they wouldnt have any locals in there over-pressuring the place like a lot of clubs do. It would be counter-productuve to all the time and effort they have put into it and also to their management pland and what they are trying to accomplish. It is being run right, you can be assured of that.

I know a couple of SW Louisiana coonasses that really wishes they could afford to joins these guys. It sounds like my dream place. Maybe when I grow up I can buy a membership.

In all seriousness, I have grown about as fond of taking care of em as I have killing em.
That said, I still manage to find time to go a few times a year and seem to get lucky every once in a while.

Y’all taking applications for a kitchen b!tch? I’ve been known to cook a good meal or 2.

Marsh we have one Cajun that plans to join but we can definitely interview you for camp cook

I've said it before, but I sure am glad you're clean on the other side of the state from me. I'd drop the 5 leases I'm toting tomorrow to get in with you guys. It would definitely save me some money.

Sent you a pm hogwild.

Well I thought this was the year I would not have the need to advertise for the club. Unfortunately that was not the case, I guess the positive is I only have two spots available. If any of you fellas with deep pockets want to be part of one of the best ran clubs in the SW part of the state shoot me a PM.

I have two unforeseen openings I need to get filled. Max of 20 members on 6031 acres. Dues are $4825 with no mandatory work days, Bunk style camp, plots and feeding program included in dues.

I'm not exactly sure the best way of going about advertising it to them but most of the high dollar clubs I track for are all folks out of Florida

I feel your pain. I had a solid group of members on my main lease for 6-7 years. One guy died and another one decided he didn't want to hunt snymore. Since then it has been a pain in the was to keep looking for a new guy every year or 2. I really wish you were closer to me. I'd let my other stuff go and be all in as just a regular old member. Probably save me money in the long run too. GLWS

Here is your chance for good club guys

Wish I was closer... Would seriously consider this if it were closer.

I tell you as you probably already know, finding new members each year absolutely sucks! It is a major pain in my rear-end and the one thing I dislike about being the president of the club!! I have had a great group every year with the exception of a few here and there. I lost two great members this year due to family reasons and the other had to move to TN so he was over 6 hrs away. After 2 seasons of that drive he decided it was time to look for something closer to home. I'm surprised it took him 2 seasons to make that decision. We do offer a great club and he knew it would not be easily replaced. I am 2 hrs away myself and I do not like the drive but I can't replace what we have closer to home.

We killed 4 bucks over 130" this past season so our club will be hard to beat for what is available/provided at the current cost.
