If the club is only for my friends and I, new rules are needed with an increase in dues to cover those costs. If you 4 are part of a bigger club, cut them off from the information train by talking about how your cameras are breaking or you aren't getting out there as much this year.

Everyone has different perspectives and budgets. Some guys spend money on stuff like salt licks and some don't. Maybe your hunting buddies don't see value in these things. Sit down ahead of time and agree as a group on what needs to be done and what doesn't. Lack of communication will quickly end a hunting club arrangement. If your buddies don't won't to spend money on these projects, you still have the option of doing it yourself.
My personal opinion is that everyone has either time or money. It's not fair for some guys to spend time and money while other guys spend neither. It's amazing how some guys can find lots of free time when hunting season rolls around but can't seem to find much time when work projects need to be done. That needs to be discussed.

Did y'all have an agreement to each put cameras and feed out and share info? I've been in several clubs where guys spent a bunch of money feeding and running cameras and I never spend a penny on either. I don't do it because I don't want to and I'd be tickled if they didn't either but I'm not asking them to stop but I'm also not asking them for photos or info either.

"Man, all I've got on camera are does and spikes".
Buddy - "See anything?"
You - "Not a damn thing". Or " Just those damn does and spikes".
Works every time. X2 If they aren't contributing on some way you are being used. Best not to share

Bunch of good stuff fellows. So we are members of a larger club and going into this we agreed to share work and costs for the supplemental stuff. I will say that these guys aren't the most experienced hunters, at least to the extent I've had to gut their deer for them too. It doesn't bother me at all to help people, matter of fact I enjoy it, especially when I feel like I'm teaching someone something. I've only been hunting 12 years myself and wasn't raised hunting, didn't start till I got in the Army so I'm still rounding out things like this. If y'all agreed to share the expense id be on their ass's

I've only been hunting 12 years myself and wasn't raised hunting, didn't start till I got in the Army so I'm still rounding out things like this. Nothing wrong with helping folks at all but there is something wrong with laziness. I remember my first and only demo on how to skin/quarter a deer and as far as all the info youre supplying them on deer movement I'd say you did your share to educate them on how to do it. Let them fend for themselves and they'll either quit or take up the mantle of education and go through the trail and errors of hunting
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself

So I've been in my club now for 3 years with a co-worker. The past 2 years two buddies have also joined basically making a group of 4 of us that can share information. To this day I've been the only one putting out salt, protein and cameras each summer. Everyone one of us is busy which is the excuse I always get but at what point do I stop the guide service? Good communication makes for good friends. Did you ask up front if everyone wanted to put out minerals and cameras? Did they commit to do their part? If so, then hold them accountable. If not, then there is really nothing to complain about.

Grandpa was a smart man.Ive seen great folks outside of deer season turn into complete idiots when season starts...I'll give ya another example of my brother.Few years ago my little cousin asked to go hunting.He wanted to kill a deer.Never killed one before.He was around 25yrs old.My brother took him and only took 1 gun.They got in a big shooting house overlooking our biggest and most hunted field.You would almost always see deer there.Cousin had the gun propped up in the corner.Before dark a nice buck (mid 120s) stepped out to check the field.My brother took the gun away from our cousin and wouldn't let him shoot the buck instead he shot him.Now he hangs on my brothers wall and he's proud as hell of that buck.I took him once after that and give him the gun.Told him I didn't care if a damn Elk walked out he's shooting it.Didnt see anything that afternoon.Cousin has no desire to hunt anymore.If he had let him shoot that buck I'm sure it woulda turned him into a lifelong hunter but nooo..Selfish ways.Dont understand it.

To this day I've been the only one putting out salt, protein and cameras each summer. Everyone one of us is busy which is the excuse I always get but at what point do I stop the guide service? I feel your pain. I just let go of a small lease I've had for 13 years partly for the same reason. i had the place to myself for the first couple years and I should have kept it that way and invited people when I wanted to. There are too many opinions involved with deer hunting. It sounds like a great idea to get a few "like minded" buddies together and lease some property but eventually, somebody is gonna get pissed about something. I'm sure somebody on here has a bulldoodoo fairytale story about how they've have a lease for 25 years and never a single issue amongst friends. <<< horse hockey!

Socializing and fellowship is what I have a lease for.Ive never joined a club and never will.I have 337 acres leased that I don't even hunt.Funnest time of the year for me is planting fields,hanging out and drinking a cold beer.I really couldn't care any less about hunting over there.

That's the best part of it.I don't understand why folks hide so much from other folks in the clubs.I like to tell the others what I see and have on cam (even though I don't run cams often at all).Just the way i am I guess.My brothers the polar opposite to the point of hiding stuff from me and I don't even go hunt our lease.He had pics last year of 2 bucks that was pushing 140"..I finally found out about it midway through season.I told him don't hide the crap from me,he knows I'm not coming over there to hunt and definitely ain't gonna go hunt the areas he had been getting pics just cause he got pics.I went to our lease once last year and that was the Sunday of youth weekend with my son.Year before I went twice, once to drink beer and took the wife once.I just don't hunt over there even though all the land is in my name and I know there's some good deer over there.I have my little 80 acres right here below the house that I spend all my time on.Both of those bucks he had pics of were killed,big 8 by the neighbor and the 12 by his son..Brother was on suicide watch for 30 days.People get to wound up over a deer. I get in hunting clubs to hunt. If I wanted to socialize, I would invite folks to my house. That would be a lot cheaper than club dues. Socializing and fellowship is what I have a lease for.Ive never joined a club and never will.I have 337 acres leased that I don't even hunt.Funnest time of the year for me is planting fields,hanging out and drinking a cold beer.I really couldn't care any less about hunting over there. that's just perverted

There are very few folks that I share hunting information and pics with. My neighbor and I got into a new lease this year and I'm sure we will be sharing info with each other all season trying to figure the place out. Last year Eli was sitting with him one morning and handed the rifle over to Eli so he could shoot a doe instead of him shooting it. Great memories there and made Elis day. It's amazing how stupid some folks get and how much disregard for the laws there is when a buck is involved.
The secret to a long marriage is to keep on dating, just as you did before marriage. We have "date night" once a week.
Hers is Saturday, mine is Thursday.
The only time a married woman gives those is if your not married to them!

People get to wound up over a deer......
Grandpa always had a saying about this.
"Hunting will even turn a preacher into a SOB"
Grandpa was a smart man.Ive seen great folks outside of deer season turn into complete idiots when season starts...I'll give ya another example of my brother.Few years ago my little cousin asked to go hunting.He wanted to kill a deer.Never killed one before.He was around 25yrs old.My brother took him and only took 1 gun.They got in a big shooting house overlooking our biggest and most hunted field.You would almost always see deer there.Cousin had the gun propped up in the corner.Before dark a nice buck (mid 120s) stepped out to check the field.My brother took the gun away from our cousin and wouldn't let him shoot the buck instead he shot him.Now he hangs on my brothers wall and he's proud as hell of that buck.I took him once after that and give him the gun.Told him I didn't care if a damn Elk walked out he's shooting it.Didnt see anything that afternoon.Cousin has no desire to hunt anymore.If he had let him shoot that buck I'm sure it woulda turned him into a lifelong hunter but nooo..Selfish ways.Dont understand it. Got to be one of the sorriest sack of $hit acts I've ever heard of on the topic of hunting. Wonder how he spins that story when he's telling folks how he slayed that monster? Hate that for your cousin. Dr. B

I've come to the point where my glass is either half full, or half full. If I kill a deer, great...got some meat for the freezer. If I don't kill a deer, great...got to get out there and didn't have to get my hands bloody!

I tell all what I see any day I hunt. Just because I saw it and tell them doesn't mean they're going to get it. I enjoy helping someone harvest one, especially kids. I've killed my fair share over the years, share the wealth.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

There is only two of us but we have full disclosure and split all expenses and work down the middle.
The opportunity we have to hunt and enjoy God's creation should be enjoyable and uplifting.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

last club I was in another hunter and I jumped a HUGE buck (biggest I have ever seen). He swore me to secrecy, don't tell anyone else about this deer. Well, ok. So I keep my mouth shut, UNLIKE THAT LITTLE ASSHOLE WHO TOLD EVERYONE ELSE. The landowner(who was a member) was mad at me for keeping it secret, eventhough the tattletale was his best friend. WTH? Then the rest of the members hunted the chitt out of that spot for the rest of the year.
Like I said, the LAST club I was in....30 years ago.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
