Probably prefers no bow hunters because they start stinking the place up and pressuring the deer before gun season starts.No retirees because he is probably employed and does not want someone on the lease hunting twice a day every day during season.Just my guess.
X10000. Retired (or shut down workers) are the bane of many in hunting clubs. Pay the same dues and do the same work as everybody else then hunt 5-10 times as much.
Somebody asked in a thread a week or two ago questions to ask about when joining a new club. Retired hunters was my first suggestion and I never saw any rebuttal of that.
