I'm 35 years old and have never been in a club. Been hunting since I was 5. We always leased land. In 1999 my dad had a bad car wreck and lost hearing in one ear and damaged hearing in another. He hunted a couple years after that just to take my little brother but stopped shortly after and started fishing year around. Me and a couple buddies took over the lease and I have leased property ever since.

Currently me and 4 of my closest buddies lease 750 acres. We are all on the same page as far as letting bucks get some age on them. Everyone splits the cost evenly and we don't skimp on anything. We have a pretty good setup without any drama.
