I can't give details yet, because I haven't secured the lease yet. It is within 30 miles of Huntsville, AL. I just need to get a feeling for who would be willing to pay to play. I can't guarantee you a big buck. I can guarantee you that I will spend every dime on developing the property habitat to try to grow the best deer the area can grow. The property might not produce monster bucks the first year, or even the third; but with intense habitat management, I intend to be able to grow some big deer. I hope to instill year round food plots and designated feeder sanctuaries. No rules are set in stone, and I'm open to suggestions. I WILL involve professional advice from habitat/wildlife specialists. I'm only interested in big bucks. I'm not gonna shoot a buck unless it goes on the wall. This will NOT be a place to bring your son/daughter to shoot a spike or ANY young buck. Haven't decided about guests...I know a lot of people get pissed when they hunt a big buck all year, then a guest comes hunting for free and gets lucky in the right place at the right time. One option I'm thinking of is guest MUST sit with member if member wants to bring a guest. If a guest kills a deer, it comes off whatever the set MEMBERSHIP limit is. It's not fair for a single guy to pay money to hunt and kill 3 bucks and a guy that has 4 sons and brings guests to be able to kill 15 plus. Big/Mature bucks only. I'm shooting for 4 yo bucks. I'm one of those people that don't believe in "cull" bucks. Also thinking about minimum B&C score of X=to be determined. I would love it if all members would anonymously share all buck trail cam pics. If there are truly any jacked up racks that we all agree should be taken out, I would be okay with that. I want everyone to have success and shoot the biggest deer they've ever killed, but if big to you is 100 inch 2 yo, this isn't the place for you. If you think you HAVE to shoot a buck to get your moneys worth, don't bother. If you think you HAVE to ground check one that you THINK might be a shooter, then don't bother. I want guys that are okay with letting a deer walk unless they ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY identify it as a MATURE buck. Price will actually depend on how much members are willing to pay to determine acre:hunter ratio. It will DEFINATELY be at least 100 acres per member. If I can get enough people to be able to afford more acreage per member, I will. I have talked to a few people already that have expressed interest in bow only or maybe bow only until the rut. Another suggestion I've gotten is all electric vehicles for access. The property will be STRICTLY managed and whatever rules are decided on will be STRICTLY enforced. No dumbarses or richardheads....if you already know it all, I don't want to hear about it. If you have a hard time getting along with others and communicating with others and being happy with their success, don't waste my time. Jackarses or illegal activity will not be tolerated. Absolutely no drinking, smoking, or meth on this property!! Anyone doing anything illegal (spotlighting, trespassing, stealing, etc..) will have their arses kicked and prosecuted and permanently removed without refund and you will be called out on every website I can find. Price will be $1500 based on 100 acres/member. So if you have no interest, but have suggestions, feel free to post them here or send me a PM. If anyone is interested, please post or PM me the answers to these questions. Would you be interested in:
1. bow only
2. bow only until rut
3. all weapons
4. 120 inch minimum requirement (or some set measurement)
5. multiple harvest criteria such as weight/beam length/bases
6. only electric vehicles
7. x number of does per membership and how many?
8. x number of bucks per membership and how many?
9. no guests
10. members only (no family)
11. 100 acres:1 membership = $1500
12. 150 acres:1 membership = $2250
13. 200 acres:1 membership = $3000

I know kill numbers/quality to expect will vary based on what the property actually holds. No way for me to know that until I get the lease and can get some groceries and cameras out.
These are the kinda bucks I want us to shoot. If you want to be a part of something with great potential, just let me know.

Sounds like you know which direction you want to go just need others on same page to join you. Must be some pretty good land for what they are charging you to lease it based on your cost estimate. Good luck.

Wish it wasnt so far north.

It is and can be better. Being close to home if you live in the Huntsville area is a BIG plus...thank you

Let me add, I KNOW that a few deer bigger than any on my walls have been killed on this property.

Might have missed it, but how many total acres are you talking about. It takes a lot of land to manage like you are talking about for bordering clubs to not benefit off your heard and your members themselves benefit.

I like the way you think. I am interested. Is it more towards Jackson county or your way?

Good point, unfortunately I don't want to risk compromising the lease. For now, let's just say, I feel like it's enough to do what I want to do. There are people that have seen it and feel the same way. Sorry to be so vague, but until I have a lease contract in my hand, I don't want to tip anyone off.

Both....I live 5 miles from Jackson County line.

Ok man keep me posted. I am tired of trying to grow deer where the first year old gets smoked.

I would absolutely love to be a part of that but can't justify the drive/expense with 3 little ones and all the sports/activities that come along with that. I feel you could go to 200/1 ratio at 3K and fill your spots especially in the area you're in. That's what I would shoot for if you're really wanting to do what you have implied. You are definitely on the right track and have some fantastic rules. Exactly the kind of place I would join in a heartbeat and do everything in my power to help improve. Best of luck and I hope it takes shape for you guys.

Thanks, I understand, I have 3 little girls. If I can find some people (the right people) to make it to 200/1 or even more, I will do it.

I think all PMs answered...keep em coming.

Casey I'm interested. Once you can share more info drop me a PM. I'm open to any rule as long as it involves growing big mature bucks, limited pressure and directed more towards a members only type club. I'm not a big fan of guest or family type club when trying to manage for trophy potential. You know I don't mind paying to play.

I know and agree and apparently a few others do to. PM sent.

I'm interested. And the more acres per member the better. I'm much more concerned about quality than cost. Let me know.

Pm sent
