You should definitely leave the club, lease your own place, make your own rules, and hunt as much or as little as you choose. Forcing others out, who are obeying existing rules, just because you don't like the way things are being done is just WRONG.


Not trying to be a jerk, just offering my opinion, which you asked for.

Obviously you didn't pay attention to my original post. The club has too much pressure, do we cut membership or limit the number of days the club is hunted was the only questions asked. Me saying I was willing to pay $7k was in response to me being called greedy, which I'm not but kinda remember why I don't post much on here. People not paying attention to the thread, putting their own interpretation of my question. Lastly, I didn't ask your opinion on how to spend my money, and I am trying to be a jerk, put your opinion where it belongs!


Yes I did pay attention to your 1st post. I also paid attention to your 2nd, 3rd, and 5th posts which are the ones that tell the story. A total of 4-6 members of your club, which according to my math is a minority, are contemplating a "coup d'etat" of your hunting club and you came here looking for moral support. You've determined that "hunting pressure" has caused your hunting experience to be less than satisfactory. You've acknowledged that there have been some changes to the habitat courtesy of the timber company but the unacceptable quality of the hunt is definitely the result of pressure by too many hunters doing too much hunting. Predation is certainly not a factor, and it is not possible that deer pattern hunters whether there are 1 or 14 and there is no way that your neighbors could be making their property more inviting than yours. No, the problem is there is too much "pressure" and the solution is to get rid of club members or restrict hunting days or both. You may well be right, I have no idea, maybe there is too much pressure. Maybe the club should not have admitted the 4 additional members. You certainly did not have to do that but you did and now you don't like the results so you want to "correct" the mistake by jacking up the rates knowing that the poor schmuck who really can't afford it already but does anyway will have to say goodbye. Do what you want, spend what you want, stay or go, I could care less. If you want to make changes then the ONLY right way to do it is to call ALL club members to a voting meeting and vote on any and all proposed changes with majority rule. This of course will not work if what you have is not actually a club, a club being a group of equals engaged in common interests, but a "deer hunting kingdom" in which all rule and authority rests with one or a few people

Do you even understand that this really has nothing to do with deer hunting and everything to do with liberty and tyranny?

P.S. I put my opinion precisely where YOU asked for it. If you didn't want it you should not have asked.
