I heard through the grapevine that Dollarhide hunting club gave Chucky a honorary membership. Anyone in the know who can confirm that?

If they did it was not because everyone agreed to it He is not liked by the majority but is seen as a nuisance that is interfering with long held traditions and making the place not so enjoyable as it once was

I'm sure it was because their old biologist just wasnt getting it done and they needed someone with "proven, serious game management experience and credentials" to help them manage their property, in order for it to reach its maximum potential. He's done such a fantastic job with the entire state of AL, just imagine what he can do when he concentrates his efforts on a specific property.
He'll probably recommend killing every doe they see, to tighten up that B/D ratio. More bait is definitely needed. CORN! In order to support the dominant gobbler theory and improve the turkey hunting, he will institute new property specific rules, allowing only 2 gobblers to be killed on the entire property, with the season opening on May 6th and running through May 7th. He will institute both "crappie and bluegill check" for their lakes and ponds and impose a slot limit on bass with only one fish measuring between 15 1/8 and 15 3/8" being allowed to be kept. Lastly, in order to raise more funds for Dollarhide property management, each member and guest will have to buy daily Dollarhide permits for whatever they want to hunt or catch, and every bird or animal killed, and fish caught, will have to be measured, weighed, aged, and all data entered into a special newly designed gamecheck system within 3 minutes of kill or capture. Penalty for first violation for failure to comply with the above will be a fine issued to the member in violation. Fine will be permanently losing their family's, legacy, equity shares in the club.

I think I read something a while back about some dudes poaching that club. They were coming in from the river by boat or something? Same place? I can’t stand poachers and trespassers. They’ll work harder to break the law rather than just hunt public, and they’ll do it because they’re afraid someone else might shoot a big one. Must suck to live with that much paranoia.

They run dogs on that club? They do but not nearly as much as they have historically. It's getting away from that and moving more towards managing for harvesting mature bucks by still hunting only. I think they only have a handful of drives if any now, and maybe 20-30 standers, and only drive a small portion of the land.

I think I read something a while back about some dudes poaching that club. They were coming in from the river by boat or something? Same place? When I was in my late teens/early twenties, we were in a club across the river from Dollarhide. Some nights it sounded like a war with the gunfire you would hear at night lying in bed. Often heard guns with full auto fire.

Pretty sure he’s in charge of their management already

Often heard guns with full auto fire. Most everything owned by Drummond, Buchanan, and Miller over there and used for personal and guest hunting now I believe.
