It is not sustainable financially or biologically.



Good thinking, I think you figured out more than the op had thought of, no way would such a thing work, I could see someone losing a lot of money the first year of the club. Then finding members would be like finding dinosaur teeth, some would probably pay the 500 an kill everything they saw an not turn anything in, the at the end of the year there would be no $$$$.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
