I’ve been a member of the North Sumter Hunting Club near Emelle, AL for 5 years. Starting my 6th year coming up. We are looking for 4 members. Our membership is 12 total. Here are some details:
- 4000 acres. Adjoins the camp house - 40 green fields with shooting houses. Salt/mineral dumps on each field - Multiple ladders in hardwoods - Main camp house and 40 acres with water/sewer, washer/dryer, 3 ovens/stove, big screen tv in house and on porch, multiple refrigerators, chest freezer - Enclosed skinning shed with hot/cold water, heat, fridge to store meat overnight, electric hoist - 100/200 yard shooting range with bench next to camp house - Spots to hook up travel trailer - Pole barns to park utv/atv out of the weather. No trucks on property during deer season. The roads are too muddy - 12 member maximum. Currently 8. - NO guests. Immediate family ok. Wife/child - Property managed by State of Alabama game biologist for last 7 years. We pull jaw bones, record all kills and record all deer observations during the hunt. Went first 3 years with a NO buck policy - Now it’s 2 bucks (3 1/2 or older) (There is a NO CULL policy). State law on does. All the hogs you can shoot or trap. We just received permits to night hunt hogs too. - NO TURKEYS. Mossy Oak leases the club for turkey season. - Twice a year planting. This year we switched half the plots over from Outfitters Blend to clover. Now our spring planting consists of poisoning weeds and fertilizing the clover. All fields were spread with several tons of lime 2 years ago - Gravity feeders throughout property. Fenced in to keep out hogs - 90% of property is pine plantation. Different stages of growth so a cutting doesn’t ruin the property. Large creek runs the length of the property with several branches throughout. This Is where the hardwoods are. - 2 tractors on property with all implements - There are no “required” work weekends. However, we all work as much as we are able to ensure the camp is ready to hunt in the fall.
Dues: - $500 joining fee. This money will go straight into the camp general fund to help defray monthly costs. The same costs we have all incurred over the years - $2750 yearly dues lease payment - A monthly assessment which averages $140 a month. Depends on number of members and camp expenses. These include; seed, fertilizer, corn/protein, electricity, propane, tv satellite, water, landline telephone, tractor time and fuel/maintenance, property tax and anything else spent on the camp. - If you bring a trailer you will need a power pole and will receive your own meter. You will still share the general camp bill.
The two camp owners reside in Meridian. They follow the same exact rules we do. They pay the same monthly assessment we do. These are the rules in a nut shell. This is a little to no drama club. There is no debate on who is in charge or what the rules are. It’s in writing and they apply to all of us. Our efforts are starting to pay off. There are plenty of mature bucks on the property. Now we are trying to encourage antler development. We feel the clover will start to address the issue this year since the bucks will be able to browse this high protein food source during their antler growth.
Call me if you have questions. Ralph Humphrey 228-861-7060 Biloxi, MS

You have a very keen eye for the obvious. I
Again, the $140 a month is an average. Less money going out on camp expenses and/or more members equals lower monthly fees. Work on your grammar, then your social skills

Stop shitting on the man’s post. If you have a legitimate question call the man or send him a PM. This is not a thread to dictate how he runs his lease.

North Sumpter Co is the best hunting and fishing in the State of Alabama. Gotta pay to play boys. That said no turkey hunting is a deal breaker for me.
