alot of you guys out west may not have any idea what im talking about so ill start with a background.
in the southeast and other places for many years guys have gotten together and leased private land (often from paper companies)for hunting. usually they build a lodge. set up permanant stands, put out feeders or food plots (legal of course) run deer dogs, cook meals together and maybe drink a beer or 10 in the evenings.
all of my life i have wanted to join one of these things and yesterday i took the plunge.my wife and i drove up to south carolina ( about 185 miles from my house) to look at this club.SC deer season opens aug 15 and runs through jan 1st the longest season in the US. you can kill all the bucks you want and they have doe days plus the club gets 40 tags to take more does on non doe days for deer management. any deer you kill while stand hunting is yours to do what you want but during dog drives the meat is split between all hunters involved that day but antlers belong to the shooter. by the way they only drive dogs every other saturday otherwise its still hunting only.
my wife and kids can hunt on my membership and any guest who goes with me pays 15 bucks per day.
what do you guys think about this and have any of you ever been in a club now or in the past.
