I'd pay 10X that much to hunt with my Dad.

yes, bad advice.
If ya don't like the rules don't join it knowing you are not going to follow them.
There are plenty of clubs around. Find one that fits you rather than disrespect the lease holder and other members.

$700 is nothing for hunting. Join 2 clubs if needed but definitely join one with your dad. You owe it to him and your sons to do so.

2X on hunting with your dad. I'd pay a lot to hunt another year with my dad, and if I had some do overs I would have hunted and fished more with him when he was alive. You will always have hunting clubs, you wont always have your dad.

I'd join just to be able to hunt with your dad and brother. To me it's definitely worth it to be able to hunt with family. The only time my dad gets to hunt anymore is when he comes to visit me and hunt public land.

I've paid 4 grand a year before. Granted , it was a true trophy club. 2200 acres with 6 members. I killed four HUGE dear that year. I didn't join one this year. I like a small club. ( few members). I also like to know the people in the club. Rules are rules. If you don't intend to follow them. Don't join. If you don't like them. Don't join. $700 is nothing for a place to carry your boys and spend quality time with your dad. I don't have a relationship with my dad. He was a bad man when I was growing up. That's another story. I guess what I'm saying is , if you can do something with your father, and your boys can do something with their father, it's a win win situation. Give it a try.

Good investment, NO, worth the $700.00 dues, heck yeah, jump on it while you can. However, don't be one of those whinny types always trying to change the rules.

$700 is pretty cheap for a club with 100 acres per member plus a chance to hunt with your Dad.

Thanks for all the input... I'm gonna join just for the opportunity to hunt with dad and my brother more, we haven't hunted together in several years and I'm pretty excited about that opportunity!

As far as me breaking the rules or whining about them it ain't gonna happen... I'm just not that kind of person. Thanks for all the input so far.
