What does your club do if they don't get enough members to cover expenses?

For a dog club you will always have heavy turnover.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

The biggest thing I've seen is some stalk hunters join and realize they are in a dog club. Another reason I believe unless you have a lot of deer and good dogs some people get frustrated easily. The last dog club I was in was in berry and the people who ran the club were sorry people. After experiences like that some people that might be open to dog hunting will get a bad taste for it. I love to go on a good dog drive but it is just too difficult to do these days. If you don't have at least 5,000 acres you are over hunting the property. The only way you can hunt the smaller tracts is two drives on Saturday and holidays. Just my opinion though.

I think that in some clubs the problem is not he price, it is the rules. I had 2 different clubs in Bama I wanted to join this year. The first was very inexpensive but they would not allow anyone under the age of 18 to drive an atv or utv at any time for any reason. The 2nd club was perfect in all aspects but one. The harvest limit. 5 deer per membership. 3 bucks 2 doe. That is insane! I have a 7 year old son that loves hunting and I also like to take a couple friends each season.
Another killer for me with most clubs is the number of members in a club. I will never understand why someone will have a 1000 acre club and try to have 9 or 10 or more members. Yes you keep the price down but you keep the pressure high. I just read an ad on craigslist for a club that does not allow hunting on Sunday. Absolutely rediculous! If that is your life style and religious beliefs then that is fine but why try to be so controlling over paying members? I believe they will have a hard time filling their spots.
Another huge issue is not having a camp house/ club house.
