heheheheheheheh.... I needed a good laugh this morning. As a non-agressive hunter, I think that anybody that shows up before 5:00 needs to get a life  Agree.... I was in Ponderosa a few years ago, that's where it happened. Maybe things are better there now. I don't think you were there at the time. Great land, but there were a couple of members with teenage boys who just let them run wild all over the property. They would actually ride their scooters around 1pm to every food plot, check for tracks, then come back and sign out for a hunt. I couldn't handle it. Hope things are better there now.

I hunted as a guest of a BIG club in Wilcox Co years ago. You could not sign in for an area before midnight. The guy I hunted with would go to bed, get up at 11pm and drive to the club to sign in at 12:01, then go home and go back to bed. Seen it myself.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Some people just take it too serious. We still have "agressive hunters" but we are trying to put in rules to cut down on the amount of traffic on the property during the season. Pressure is the number one problem and we have cut back on the number of bucks per membership and put in a better buck rule. Yeah, that was what I didn't like there. There were 2 members causing 90% of the problems. I've come to realize if you have`

Loved the land, but 2 members were causing 90% of the problems, and 1 member was killing it during the week. I have figured out a club with 2 pages of rules has problems. What I'm saying is if you have to address common sense issues with a rule, you might have the wrong members. The lease I'm in now has 4 or 5 rules. Basically turn off the lights and lock the gate. We have absolutely no drama or problems and I love it.

I admit to making several of those midnight trips myself. But what's really bad is that some would often sign in before midnight. The next guy would scratch the name out and flag it for being too early. There wasn't a bad place to hunt on the club, but they told me I had to GI sign in if I wanted to hunt with them Good to see you posting again Troy; we missed you! Come over and tell us a turkey story.

....but we are trying to ... put in a better buck rule. Yeah you guys really need to do that. I looked at your website and 95% of the bucks looked like baby 2.5 year old basket racks.

Talked to warden again yday and he said they are just gonna write more hunters orange tickets, licenses not actually on the hunters and deer not marked or called in whichever they go with.
He said they were meeting in a month or so to go over this and learn exactly how they are goin to police this new rule.
As a club board member I wished they had either left it alone or jus made it legal. Reason being if one guys puts it out and another gets to close not knowing its there he gets a ticket. This sucks ! The government NEVER does anything for you, but they certainly do things to you!! If they make baiting legal they should make spotlighting legal!

It is going to be easy at my club......just because the State says you can do it does not mean I have to let you. You want to put corn out go somewhere else.

Well our board will vote and we will follow that. Won't be based on one person
The should also make green fields illegal to right? As far as I can see it with a club there is no way to let individuals feed anywhere they want to unless your board is ok with innocent members getting tickets. It should either be club feeding stations that are clearly marked that everyone knows about and are shown or no feed at all.....still pretty simple.

To some a dead deer is a dead deer no matter whether it is killed with a spear along a trail or killed with a howitzer standing over a pile of corn, so why would spotlighting and shooting a deer be any different?? Before the issue of safety is brought up, the other methods have safety concerns also. What it boils down to is where does the line get drawn for ways to kill a deer?? It seems that more and more people want the absolute easiest way to do it, so where does it stop?? Just questions to ponder when one starts thinking about ways to take advantage at any cost.

Our club plan last year had it passed would have been to establish ten feeding sights at various places on our lease. No way we can let 20 guys randomly put corn out at any location they wish - that's a recipe for trouble.

That is the craziest reasoning I've ever seen. Just more of Alabama's backwards arse way of doing things. Is it easier to kill a deer in Texas or Florida?? Think outside the box every now and again.
