My partner and I have a rare opportunity to lease a decent size property in this state that in time, will become one of those special places to hunt. This property has the genetic potential to produce Midwest quality deer consistently under the right management program. We will be a small part of a larger trophy management cooperative that will be managing a very large tract of land under similar goals. The property is raw so there is a lot of work to be done develop this place into what it will become. The good news, is we have two years of no hunting to start building off of. This should result in some older age class deer right out the gate for us. I have seen what the neighboring club has produced so there is little doubt our place can be just as good if not better.

I am gauging interest as to who would be interested in being part of a low pressure (250 acres per member) club Located in Clarke County Alabama that will have a strong focus on managing for 4.5-year-old deer or older. The property will be approximately 3800 to 4000 continuous acres. The property consists mostly of managed pines with hardwood smz’s and a few clear cuts. The property is on a 3 year burn rotation, so a percentage of the property will be prescribe burned every year.

Our goal is to have 12 members but no more than 15 max. If the financial side of things work out, I’ll stay with 12 but will reserve the opportunity to add a few more members if they are the right fit.

My partner and I are currently working on securing a camp that will be in place by mid to late summer. The camp fee will be included in the cost of membership.

We are looking for members that are low pressure and hunt by age that are willing to hunt smart and keep pressure to a bare minimum until the rut. My partner and I have used this strategy over the last several years and it’s proven to be very effective with remarkable results. If you can buy into this strategy you should be impressed with the results. We will not dictate when anyone can hunt as there will be opportunities to hunt around key weather patterns and certain periods of the season. What we are asking, is the members of this club give some thought into when they hunt the property to main low pressure and promote better day time movement from the mature deer. It is a proven fact the odds are extremely low of killing a mature deer if the place has been hunted to death and the deer highly educated before the rut kicks in. If you can get on board with the low pressure strategy and plan your hunts when the odds are more in your favor we would like to talk with you in further detail!

We are also looking for a member that is more focused on deer hunting rather than the turkey’s. We already have several serious turkey hunters on board and that alone will steer most serious turkey hunters away quickly. I get it and fully understand, I’m a serious turkey hunter. With that said, the focus is on someone looking for the right opportunity to hunt mature deer and be part of a low pressure group of hunters.

This club will not be what I would consider a lax family friendly club. We will allow family, but there are rules in place to prevent it from becoming a free for all. We will also offer a few guest opportunities but once again not a free for all. We do understand the importance of spending time with your family and the opportunity to invite the occasional guest. Our goal is to have fun, become a tight nit group that is willing to share information and help each other be successful on harvesting mature deer.

We will have board that will vote on issues or rule changes etc. rather than one person deciding what is best for everyone else to do. We will also have an open check book policy so everyone can see how the funds are being spent.

The cost for this opportunity will be $3500 @ 12 members. It could be a little less or a little more depending on the final numbers for the camp or if we decide to add a few additional members.

Please no tire kickers!! My partner and I do not have a lot free time to waste answering all your questions. All the information above should give you the basic information needed to make an informed decision if you would like to be part of this opportunity or not. Please discuss this with your boss lady in advance for permission if that’s required in your house hold. I understand some folks need to have that conversation just do it before wasting our time.

In closing we will be glad to provide more detailed information if you are seriously interested at this point. Please PM with your contact information, phone and email address. My partner and I will send more detailed information after one of us speaks with you.

I will add that the full cost of membership is not due until June 15th. However, I will require a deposit of $1000 to hold any spot you commit to taking. This may or may not make a difference in someone's decision, but thought I would make that known.

Hey Squeaky Where is the land located in Clarke County?

How will it be for the kids? I am interested and is everything centralized from the camp?
What will able to be killed per year?

Looks good Squeaky.. I’ve been talking to Steve about this and the area definetly has a proven history for producing big bucks..

Is The Area River bottom land or Hill/ Upland land?

Hill/ Upland land and is known for producing bigger bucks than some of the more popular river bottom clubs in the area.

Yea we think it's a great opportunity. Some folks don't think so and we are taking a beating on Danny's facebook post.

Ryan I have emailed you a copy of the rules we have drafted thus far. It will explain in detail how we plan to work with the kids.

PM sent

I’m going to word things a little differently than my original post that may be understood better.

We are looking to have 12 men or women that can afford this opportunity that are willing to sit down at a table and come to an agreement on how to manage a club for the following. 4.5 year old or older deer, promote low pressure until the rut or key time frames within the season, be family friendly with structure that prevents abuse of the privilege and promotes a positive and fun hunting experience without the drama/bickering of most typical hunting clubs.

If 12 folks can’t sit down and figure out how to accomplish this common goal we are really headed down a slippery slope.

We do have a set of rules drafted that outlines the above but we are open for suggestions and improvements where those can be made.

Most importantly and foremost we need 12 people that can at least agree to have those discussions to finalize a plan.

PM sent

I'm interested. The area does have excellent genetics. Would you send me a copy of the rules to review please?

Mike a small suggestion would be for y'all to agree on the must have rules and sort your people from there. Regardless, you want people to meet your requirements not theirs.
As long as you or whomever run a club the way that was agreed upon no one can have a argument. May not like it but no argument. Good luck should be great if you can do as you described.

That may have been what you intended to say, and I just misunderstood. Managing people can be harder than the herd.

Wish I was closer

Brandon I have a pretty solid set of rules drafted. Some of them are open for discussion of there is a better way of doing things. Danny and I will make the final decision on what we change or stays like it is. I feel confident I can make this club work if I get the right people. I have successfully done it for 10 years on my Kentucky property with a lot less land. It takes the right people though and that’s what we are looking for.

Is this part of the old scotch wma?

PM sent

How long is the drive for you Mike? I'm on the East side of Covington Co.

I can be on the property in exactly 2 hrs if I don't get stuck behind a bunch of slow log trucks on hwy 84.

I'll just tip my hat to you for trying to be as straightforward and honest about what you are trying to do before someone plops their money down and ends up not happy. Apparently not everyone does this as evidenced by some pretty entertaining threads in the past.

That is EXACTLY our intent.

We want to avoid any future confusion concerning the Goals that we have, our Plans to reach those Goals or the Rules that we have developed to implement and carry out that Plan.
We definitely do not know everything there is to know!
But, we have a Plan based on what we know what has worked for us in the past.

And, this type of Club is not for everybody.
It is not nearly as strict as some of the more rigid Trophy Clubs that I know of.
But, they are more strict than the average Club with a lot of members that are more Social than focused on growing and providing consistent opportunities on Quality bucks.
Also, I feel that the price per membership is slightly higher than the 'average' Club.
But, again, MUCH lower than most Trophy Clubs.

We do not want anyone to join in with a distorted perception of what we are trying to do or how we plan to do it.
We are building a solid group of guys here with the people who are on board!

I have HIGH hopes for this!!!
I am intimately familiar with the Area and even this specific property.
People are really going to be surprised when this property begins reaching it's true potential.
The genetics are as good as anywhere I know of!

I hope ya'll can find a dozen folks that will actually follow your guidelines, it is very hard to get that many on the same page, even being upfront.

I had a club in Hale Co much like ya'll are working on. Great property, good population, and great genetics. And I vetted my members out pretty hard about where we wanted to be and what we were shooting. All the guys talked the talk. Opening day, two hours before dark, 50 yard shot in a greenfield one of the guys shoots a 1.5 year old eight point buck. WTH did we discuss? He responded by saying he would kill any eight point he saw. I gave him his money back and trespassed him off the club. Just damn.

Good luck Mike, hope you are able to get the right members lined up. If I had the time and money I'd be all over this opportunity!

Fred you are so right about the people. It's going to be hard to do but Danny and I are up for the challenge. I'm sure we will end up with a few members that will need to coached along the way. Hopefully by being totally open and up front about our vision for this property it will minimize those type members.

I have had similar experience with my big Kentucky lease. Some of my members have been the type I could work with and allow them to grow into the type member we are looking for. Some were a lost cause and had to find some where else to hunt. What I do bring to the table is excellent people skills, I can work with folks if they are willing to follow advice and direction. I also know a little about managing a property but don't know it all that's for sure!

Is it private land or a timber company?

It is owned by a small family group but does carry a timber company name.

Wish I was closer!

Mike, I wish you luck and think you're up to the task, only problem is managing members. Kinda like herding cats

Mr. Ron it’s definitely gonna be a challenge for sure. Danny and I have 11 folks vetted so far and on the list to show the property to. They either know me very well or truly have the same vision as we do because they all said a lot of what I wanted to hear. One more spot on the list of 12 remains and then we are taking alternates in case someone has a change of heart.

Update:

Anyone wanting on the alternate list can contact Mike, or myself.
We should have everything in place by this weekend (HOPEFULLY) to have free access to show the property and actually begin work to prepare the property for this upcoming hunting season.

Also, from another thread....
To clarify, a membership does include turkey hunting rights. We just want people to know upfront that there are already 2 pretty serious turkey hunters alreadybsigned up. There are no ‘turkey only’ memberships, either.

There are lots of guys that will talk the talk.

Good luck on your club!

How are you determining who can lay off the property until the rut. In my opinion on a great piece of property with low pressure early season can be good as well. Once again not criticizing just curious.

What they are basically doing is asking people how they will hunt. If the answer is , "if I pay $3500 for a great place with big bucks, I'm gonna definitely hunt every chance I get and every single weekend of the season, or the I'm gonna use all my vacation and try to hunt it at least 3 times a week or I'm planning to stay at the camp for 3 weeks straight and work and answer emails on my laptop between hunts...." Those are not the types they are looking for or considering for membership. If someone wants to hunt early season, or pop in for a hunt here and there, I'm sure they are fine with that, they've got plenty of land. In that particular area, there is a definitive lull in deer sightings that occurs, that I refer to as the "December doldrums". Bucks simply disappear completely for a 3-4 week period before they start walking and laying down scrapes in the early part of the rut. Overall deer sightings including does sightings decrease drastically during this period. Happens everywhere to some extent but for whatever reason, it is really exaggerated IMO in Wilcox, Marengo, Clarke, South Dallas. IMO after hunting that general area for over 25 years, you're pretty much just wasting your time and just putting unnecessary scent in the woods and pressure on the property if you're hunting from Dec1 through around Christmas. Danny and Mike know this too. That's why they are trying to find like minded guys that hunt the way they do. This type hunting strategy is not for everyone. It takes discipline and commitment to stay out of the woods when conditions or the timing is not right.

I look at it like this. You're paying $3500, not to be able to hunt all the time, but to have enough land, in the right place, to be able to grow and hold big deer and for the opportunity to hunt those big bucks during the rut when your chances of killing one is 100X better than anytime other than opening weekend. If you've pressured them like crazy since the season opened, your chances of killing one, even during the rut will go down exponentially.

You can be rest assured that if they are successful in getting the right group of guys together and can keep them all together and on the same page, in 3-5 years, they will have a phenomenal "showplace" of a property.

For the record, we hunt our property that exact same way. We are in the same general area. A couple bowhunts early, if conditions are good, and to try to get whatever doe harvest (if we feel any is needed) out of the way with our bows rather than guns. We generally hunt opening weekend and maybe some around the Thanksgiving holidays and then we pretty much completely stay off the property until January. It's the most effective way we've found to have the opportunity to consistently kill mature bucks.

Pretty good synopsis, abolt300.

We are most definitely not going to TELL people when they can hunt and when they cannot!

However, we have gathered a group of guys together who all agree that low-pressure is key and all plan to hunt 'smart' and not be intrusive until the time is right.
That does not mean not to hunt if you have a free weekend!
It simply means to use the wind to your advantage, plan your entry and exit to the area wisely, and don't go tramping through bedding areas and trying to hunt the 'honey holes' when the conditions are wrong for it.

Myself, I did not hunt at all this past year until after Christmas.
But, in 9 days of hunting in Jan, I was able to take the 3 of the mature bucks that I had on camera!!!

It works!

4320 acres provides for a LOT of options to hunt smart and leave plenty of areas undisturbed!

Abolt300 and hog wild you are both right. It works on small property to. I only hunted mid January for about 2 weeks and was able to see all the deer on my cameras and could have killed the 2 best bucks on the property but decided to let them walk.

You are absolutely correct, Barry!

Some of those guys can be coached and will make the necessary changes to their mindsets and become great members......they simply were not 'ready' for that next step.
And, some of them almost try TOO hard....they go to the extremes on everything....and expect everyone else to do the same.
Then, there are the 'do as I say, not as I do' types that just do not realize that THEY are the problem....not all the other things they constantly complain about. And, often, they are GREAT guys that just honestly can not see it!

While we certainly hope to avoid any of these types, it is inevitable that it will happen.
Luckily, between Mike and I, we have had a lot of experience with this and have Rules in place that will minimize any problems. And, we also both enjoy helping other hunters and sharing things that we have learned over the years. Most people don't want to be a problem or cause trouble. They simply have different ideas or ways of doing things that just don't fit in with the majority. Hopefully, if we have one, we will be able to work with them in a manner that will help them and provide cohesion for the Club. Heck, I hope the results speak for themselves and they are able to not only SEE it.....but, reap the rewards of it!

Insurance is in place and Mike and I both have secured keys to the property for showing. I did a lil’ piddling this weekend in there. I set up some trailcams and mineral licks. So, we should begin getting some pics real soon. The roads are in excellent shape and there are numerous nice size food plots established. We plan to begin discing and getting ready to lime this weekend. We plan to put in some cover crops to help amend the soil and make for better Fall Plots.

Guys I agree with what Danny and a few others have said above. If you think like minded and can afford this opportunity I highly suggest you come take a look. Do not let this opportunity pass you by as you will regret that decision. This place will be ran and managed right!

We are showing Thursday and Friday. My schedule is pretty open from mid day through the afternoon for the next week. Shoot me a pm if interested in taking a tour.

Mike

Wish I had the money and willpower to join yall. Unfortunately I dang sure ain’t got the money and doubt I have the willpower and know my son and wife don’t. Good luck to y’all sounds like a good place.

For folks that truly want a high percentage chance at taking a large, mature buck in AL, this is the way it has to be. My current place is just like it but on a smaller scale. Best club style to promote success PERIOD!

I also know that this particular area produces phenomenal, high scoring deer if allowed to mature. It rivals anything in this state, Jackson county included 😉. I'm sure this club will have a long waiting list for years to come.

The last club I was in had several members who had 4 or 5 kids who hunted also and every spot was signed out every weekend. Hunted to death. Guys would watch the board to see where bucks were killed and brown its down what a load of bs.

Well there definitely will not be that problem in this club that is for sure......

A few pics from the property.
It is a diverse tract that is just coming into it’s Prime with the timber and habitat management. We plan to provide the very best wildlife management possible to allow it reach it’s true potential and provide us and our members many years of GREAT hunting and Outdoor experiences!

Numerous large foodplots are scattered about the property. We plan to begin discing and liming them this weekend. Hopefully we will have some Summer food growing in just a few weeks!!

Based on the looks of those pictures and the two yahoos running it, it's obvious that no deer or turkeys are currently present and none will be killed on this property in the next 24 months at least.

Just kidding. Looks great guys. Beautiful land. You'll enjoy it and improve it for sure. I stand by my previous post in saying that this place will be top notch club and a management showplace, with a waiting list a mile long, in the next 3-4 years.

One thing that Squeaky and I both have in common......

We don’t waste our time hunting where what we are hunting does not live.

Squeaky showed me around on Thursday... I went home and strapped a rocket to my deposit check. Just saying....

Ha!!

It is a place to fall in love with....no doubt about it!!

Man, we are gonna have a LOT of fun here for a LONG time to come!!!!

We even have several hundred acres of longleaf cutovers that will dang near give you the feeling of being out West!
There are some fine funnels in here to catch em cruising in!!

^^^^ makes me want to drag out an old 742 walking gun....

7 Mag Country....

Fine looking place.. wish I had the funds to burn on a hunting lease, I’d sure do it.

I showed two more fellas today that committed to joining. Everyone I’ve shown so far has joined!! The property and amount of sign sells it’s self. It is truly a fine tract of land with a ton of potential!!

In the second and third picture the land on the far right is that yalls as well. Only reason I ask is I looked at a piece of property that is identical to that paid dude in cash on the spot for the lease and had it taken from me.

Ruh roh

Sir I can assure you this is not the lease you paid for and was taken away from you! Everything in those pictures is part of our lease.

Makes me want to hear the stories that ole girl must have

What part of clarke?

15 minuets south and west of Thomasville.

This happened last year but the land I was going to get is identical to that. Good luck this season sure is a fine piece of land

Everything pictured is the ‘same’ land.....just different ages of timber.

I'm bumping this to the top!

We still need 3 of the right folks for this club. Hogwild has been down working on the property like a rented mule for the last several weeks. He has around 14 to 16 acres of summer food planted. He will plant several more acres in corn, lab lab/soybean/milo mix in the coming weeks.

We have a lot of pics and information to share with folks that are the right fit and seriously interested. Shoot Hogwild or myself a PM for more information and to schedule a showing. The property is awesome and slap full of game. Don't miss out on this opportunity!!

We have settled on 4,322 acres @ 14 members. That is 308.7 acres per member. It's a big place and a lot of land per hunter!!

You are right about it being a BIG chunk of land!
There are still roads that I have not been on and I am still finding food plots!

But, I will get it all figured out, cleaned up and planted!
I don’t like to have hungry animals on the places I hunt!

Danny has been hard at it the last few weekends and then some. I delivered my tractor and planter along with 20 bags of RR soybeans. We gonna have plenty of summer food planted on this place. Over 20 acres planted in corn and summer mix with more to planted in the coming weeks. Also several mineral licks have been established.

Y'all want any sunflower seed? NWTF guy north of there has bunch he got stuck with and will make somebody a deal on. PM me a number and I'll pass it on to the guy. Looks like PLENTY of room for a couple dove fields.

Had a hook up on some Sorghum (Milo) seed also, but it's all bulk and not cleaned or bagged (if he hasn't sold it all by now).

Robert let me check with Danny. I'm sure we will take some to plant in our mix. I tried to get some sunflower seeds and my guy couldn't help me. I was able to get 3 bags of milo with my beans.

Mike

I hope to be doing something similar next week-end.What kinda planter is that?I have been doing my bean/corn fields by just spreading discing and dragging, which have turned out fine, but I really want a no till planter. Woulda had one this year but had a little tractor fire which required some unexpected repair expenses.I plant my beans/corn seperately so I can spray round-up on them.Do you plant all of that together and just let the weeds do their thing.? I do plant my field perimeter with a mix with buckwheat, sunn hemp and either Red Ripper Peas or a vining soybean, both which really climb the Sunn Hemp.Also, last year added Teosinate to the mix. It is a relative of corn, grows tall and makes a seed Turkey and Quail really like.



My screen with the Sunn Hemp mix is in the foreground. It got 8-10-foot tall and had beans climbing all over it.

Dangit man. The more I look at this, the less that 2 hour drive seems to matter! That is going to be one helluva lease!

Dr. B

Brad I'm not Danny (obviously) but that is a John Deere 7000 pull type planter with a set of No-Till coulters mounted to the front of each planter unit and fertilizer openers in front of them, which mount to the 2x2 bar the fertilizer box sits on.

The No-Till stuff for planters like that are for sale all over from many different manufacturers. They all require down pressure springs on the units to help hold the coulters in the ground. Many offer spider/finger/trash wheels as well to help sweep the ground clear where the opener discs run.

Doc you couldn't get in anywhere any better (or likely as good) within a 2 hr drive of Mtgy without spending 2-3x what they're charging. I'd join if I wasn't already in a place N of there (presuming they'd have me, lol).

Brad,

Robert nailed it on the planter. I have the corn meters and bean cups for this particular planter and do not have to fool with plates. I can change from corn to beans in about 10 minutes or less. In my opinion the little planter is prefect for planting corn and chufas. The 30" row spacing is to wide for beans. It simply does not put enough beans at a high enough rate to with stand browse pressure. We are mixing the beans in with other verities of seed in mix.

Chufa plot from last year I planted with that little planter.




My buddy owns this little drill and I’ll own one in the near future for planting beans any other seeds. This is a fine piece of equipment.

Well I would love to have that Great Plains too, but that is a little overkill for the 8 acres I plant. Look a little funny pulling a drill which costed twice what my tractor did.Heck the planter is overkill, I just want it.That is gonna be an awesome place doing what your doing.That Chufa is incredible. Prolly the best looking field I have ever seen a picture of.

Mike split your middles on 30" row beans to 15". Just plant half population twice. 3-5 seed per ft.

Darver540 brought a load of Trophy Rocks that we put out. They are hitting them pretty good now! I freshened a few of the sites up yesterday with minerals and 465.

Can't hide money

Seriously though, going to be a prime place. Ready to see some kill pics. Clarke County is going to surprise some folks.

Well, everybody knows that there is nothing else for them to eat in these danged old pines. Especially since they do those awful Growing Season burns in there!!!
😂

Deer love that Sunn Hemp

All of our openings are currently spoken for. Full payment of membership dues are due in Mid June. We are taking alternates and creating a waiting list at this time. We currently have 5 people on the alternate/waiting list. If you have interest in this opportunity in the future please reach out to me or Danny and let's get you on the list.

Thank you to everyone that has had positive things to say about Danny and I as well as the property Danny has put in a lot of hard work over the last few months and the property has come a long way. I'll be spending a great deal of time on the place in the coming months myself. The dozer crew is building a lot of new plots on the property and it's our goal to get the nicer ones planted in a summer mix or chufa.

I’ve told you before, but just in case you thought I was joking, I want on that list in case I ever move closer or get a helicopter

Casey I will get you on the list buddy

I thought I would put a little up date out on the club Danny (Hogwild) and I started.

We are off to good start with the season after a lot of aggravation and stress!! This was a huge challenge and responsibility to put on my plate. Thank god for a good partner and members because it would not have been possible without all of them getting behind me on starting this club.

The property has come on long way since this all started. We planted a lot of summer food and ended up with 43 fall food plots. The deer population as exceeded my expectations and I'm very pleased with what we are seeing on camera and in person. We have taken 3 mature bucks so far all off food plots with very few man hours spent in the woods. We settled on 14 members this year on 4400 acers and they are all doing great with managing their pressure. We expect to have a great rut next month with some better than average Alabama deer being taken off this property.

Good to hear it is working out well!! hope to see some monsters come off it!!

You are spot-on, Squeaky!
A lot of work!!!

But, it is all worth it.
And, we have a great group of guys to share it with!
That means a lot to me.

I am gonna have to say also, our Buck:Doe Ratio is out of this World!
I have literally seen twice as many bucks as I have does in my few hunts!!

I am most definitely looking forward to a GREAT future!

This is almost worth joining the club and doing a one week hunt during bow season and a one week hunt during the rut. What type of clubhouse do you have?

Every time I see you post here I'm hating I live over 2hrs away. Like most things in life, hard work pays off and y'all deserve every minute of enjoyment y'all get out of that tract! Looking forward to more updates!

Dr. B

It's an old farm house, couple of beds, ect.

Any kills off this land? May change the mind of someone on the fence to join.

Here is a post by Squeaky not to long ago.

This thread is useless without pics!

They've killed 3 solid mature bucks. I've seen the pics. Danny and Mike just might not be wanting to advertise what they've got going. Good area, good land, good plan, good members, good neighbors. It's gonna be a success story.

Casey you have seen pics of the one I killed

I know, I was just stirring it up. Great thing you guys got going. Wish it wasn't so dang far away from me.

Guy's it looks like we will be expanding the club by another 1600+ acres for the upcoming season. We will cap membership at 20 members on 6000+ continuous acres. That is approximately 300 acers per member. Cost under this scenario will be $4000 per membership as things currently stand. If you are interested in joining what is becoming one of the finest clubs in the state shoot me a PM. I will be available to show the property shortly after deer season. I will share trail camera pictures and harvest pictures at the time of showing. Membership for this club will not start until May 1st and will not include 2019 spring turkey season. Our Membership runs from May 1st, 2019 to May 1st, 2020.

This is one of those times when I can say this and really mean it.
I really wish you were closer.

I’m interested, would love to visit and look over the property! , shoot me a PM

Thanks
Donnie Herrin

I’m interested & sent you PM.

.... and still no deer.......

Care to explain your comment?

He is just trolling you Mike. If he wants to see the deer killed he can set up a visit to see the property or join.

I was not sure if that's what he was implying or had another alternative. If he's looking for more information, he can do exactly as you suggested if interested.

I do apologize to anyone interested in this opportunity in advance that would like more information posted here or text/emailed. You will not see pictures posted on this website or any other for that matter. I will gladly share information with anyone that expresses enough interest to come meet with me and view the property. I'm sorry to be that way, but I have dealt with enough tire kickers over the years that simply waste my time. We are not hiding anything and I can assure you we have information to share as well as pictures. We are a new club and this is our first year, we do not have a lot of history established. However, we are headed in the right direction and much further along than I anticipated we would be.

I will share we have killed 8 bucks ranging in age from 4 to 7 years of age and 2 doe so far this season. We did have a youth hunter kill a buck that was most likely 3 and what we consider a management buck. He was happy and we were happy for him! Everyone of the bucks have been killed off food plots. The reason for the low number of doe harvest, is because we as a group decided to evaluate the deer population this first year rather than shoot our baby makers. Each member does have the opportunity to kill (2) doe each for meat but some have chosen not to do so.

If you can afford this opportunity and looking for a club that is focused on low pressure "quality over quantity", 300 acers per member ratio and a group focused on managing for mature deer "QDM", we will not disappoint! If you are this person we would like to meet you, show you our place and share more information in detail. We are not going to be the right fit for everyone that is looking for a new club and we understand that, so good luck with finding what works for you.

Sounds like yall are deffinatly trying to do things right IMO. Most of the clubs that say they are trying to manage for mature deer also have the kill every doe you can see attitude. Like it is impossible to have both quality and quantity on the same piece of property.

BS now text me some pictures Mike!

I'm actually about to close on a sliver of property in Pike County with a buddy, you will have to come by and check it out, got a nice place to sleep, fish and maybe I'll let you kill a turkey if you are getting real hard up to get your limit! If you wasn't on the other side of the state, I'd be joining in so I could have some "supplemental" hunting.

Heck Halb, if you live in Milton you're only 110 miles from Mike & Danny's club. 87 to 41 out of Brewton, 41 onto 84 and 84 over to 43. Easy drive.

Yeah, I contemplated it this past season, but I haven't actually been hunting much the last couple of years, kinda been holding out knowing that I was going to be purchasing something soon. But I was talking more about a club I could go hunt out of my own camp in Pike County where I will be spending most of my time in future hunting seasons, just another place to get a hunt in every now and then from my own base camp.
