So after a fiasco with my current Huntin club I don't know that I will ever be apart of another club! However it was my first. But way too much bickering, politics, and just overall BS! Y'all that lease you own land any suggestions? Things you've learned over the years? I really want to lease 200 acres or so close to the house. I'd like to be able to sleep in my own bed before I hunt. I never would have thought that a club that has been established for 25 years would have so many problems in it! Truly blows my mind. And god forbid if you get hurt and try to get out.... Just blows my mind.

5 of us, all related by blood or marriage, lease 400 acres of woods that are full of deer.
What we do that works for us: -follow the game laws -everybody shoots what makes 'em happy
What we don't do that works for us: -worry about what each other shoots
Rarely are there ever more than 3 there at one time and weeks go by with no hunters there so there is little pressure. We've tried food plots in the past but there was no real reason to so we just hunt in the woods. We go to hunt and relax, not to work so we keep it simple.

Prolly not a bad idea. Me and a buddy have decided we want to lease land to be able to go shoot in the summer, let our dogs play and hunt whenever we want to. And follow whatever guidelines we want to. He loves to shoot does and that's it. And I love to just be in the woods. But I'm a buck hunter more than anything

Nope never got to sell it or hunt it. I went out there did an un godly amount of work to help better the club and then they treat me like they have in the end. Overall I'm glad to be away from them. But not happy to be out $1,000 people are the one thing that will ruin your day that's for sure

Include names and inform the others on here who may get taken by the same club.

If he's still getting around like he was the day I met him about a month ago (with his hurt back), he probably can't move well enough to get in the woods much. I hope you're feeling better brother.

I gotta comment! I have to say I'm pretty spoiled by my situation. I've only been hunting for about 11 years and this "club" is all I've ever known. It is worth it to me to drive 6.5 hours each way to hunt 4-5 times per year with men I know and respect. I can't imagine trying to get along in a big club with a lot of different personalities.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! A friend of mine keeps trying to get me to join a club he's in that is run by a few fellows that act that way. They'd have to pay me to join it.

And god forbid if you get hurt and try to get out.... Just blows my mind. So was the problem you couldn't find anybody to take your spot or the club wouldn't allow you to transfer your membership? I can somewhat understand them not wanting to refund the money because the lease price/expenses are the same and somebody would have to eat it. Hope your back heals up quickly. Back problems suck!

We'll I'm moving around about the exact same as when we met Mike and I started to try and get out of the club months ago starting when I first Hirt myself in August. They said I couldn't get out even though I wanted out only because I was so hurt I couldn't work so after arguing and arguing, I said ok how about if I sell my membership? He said I'm not allowed by club rules yet there is nothing in the rules I still have them from when I joined 3 years ago. So he informs me Saturday morning not only am I not allowed to sell my membership but I'm not allowed to hunt either. So I'm done! Ill never join another club again! I don't understand how a group of people could conduct themselves this way. Not to mention I got my Arse chewed when I showed up a day after a work day to get some stuff from my camper (I had my wife drive me) and I leave and I get a scathing phone call from the president about how he an the rest of the club is pissed because if I'm we'll enough to come down an get my stuff out of the camper I'm we'll enough to work! Now to this point I had been to 3 work days already when only 2 are required and there are several members who hadn't even been to one. And I had gone and planted fields in beans and corn to help the overall betterment of the club and then this happens. It just blows my mind that a group of "men" can do this to people. It seems more like robbery than anything. sounds like a bunch of A$$holes to me!

I had a buddy of mine in the same situation one time, he pleaded with them and got back in the club, then gut shot every deer he saw and brought a bunch of friends and just raped the place of game. I'm not recomending that, I am saying that is what he did. I thought it was funny. He also took dumps in the clubs shooting houses, hung up white trash bags around the food plots, and put ammonia in cans and placed them around the food plots of the board of directors in the club where they hunted.
