Coming from someone who's been there, could it possibly be that this gentlemen downsized his current club and joined another because of the headache that comes with running a larger club? From what I've seen in the past, DSHC has to fill openings every year - as most hunting clubs do. When you consider the time, expense, and headache of getting new members... along with the headache that often comes with trying to keep everyone happy, I can understand a man who says "I'd like to have a smaller club to run"... and also have one where he can say "I'm just a member here - I don't have to deal with issues from members or find new members every year."

I'm guessing no explanation this guy gives is going to hold water with those who are trying to press the issue... once you're convinced someone is a bad person, you're always going to be convinced there are ulterior motives.
