Grecian Hunting Club

Rules are important it’s the building blocks of success.  Rules that are printed out and signed by each club members and the landowner protect all parties involved.

When the laws are laid down at the beginning and all parties agree to them, it will prevent feelings from getting hurt and tempers from flaring in the future. The following is a list of generic rules I recommend for any hunting club.

10 Commandments of Hunting Clubs:

• The cost of the lease, equal cost shared by each member, and when the money is due.
• A listing of all members names, phone numbers, email, type of vehicle they drive, license plate number, and type and color of ATV. {The vehicle and ATV information is to be able to discern member’s vehicles from trespassers.}
• Each member, without exception, must follow all game and fish rules, quotas and seasons set by the state agency.
• All members will treat the landowner, his property, and equipment with the utmost respect.
• Club harvest and quota limits. {On my leases we are only allowed to take one buck per season, and it must have a minimum 16-inch antler spread. Each hunter can take two mature gobblers, and no jakes etc. There is a $500.00 penalty for a deer harvested under the antler requirement, and a $100.00 fine if a button buck is taken. We encourage the harvest of does to enhance our buck to doe ratio. These restrictions are not enforced when dealing with juvenile or physically challenged hunters. The reason for these rules is to establish and maintain a quality game management plan.}
• A guest policy must be set. When this policy is not put in writing it causes a lot of problems. {We allow a guest on any day but opening day of any type of deer season. No guests are allowed during turkey season.} It also needs to state that each member is completely responsible for the conduct of their guest.
• All expenses and work voted on by club must be shared equally.
• Designate parking areas with prior approval of landowner.
• No rutting of roads, riding ATV through planted fields, or driving nails into in to trees.
• Address any and all safety issues that you think may come up and stress safety as Priority #1.
