Anyone ever had a club president make up or change rules to suit his own needs? Anyone ever given a club president the boot?

I think that is what being “president” means right?

If the lease is timber land and the “Club President” is the lease holder; i.e. his name is on the lease and he writes the check to the timber company you can not fire, impeach, or dispose him. If the lease is private land I guess it depends on who owns the land.

As far as making the rules, if the lease is owned by a timber company many of the rules are made by them and are part of the lease. Other rules if needed or wanted have to be made by some one either the club president by himself or maybe a committee if that is how the club is made up. Have been the lease holder (club president) on three different leases that consisted of land own by a timber company and they made many of the rules for the lease, couple other rules I made by myself and some other rules were made after asking and receiving feedback from the members of the club.

But each and every member received a copy of ALL the rules, and signed a copy of the lease before they gave me their check. I paid the same amount of dues and followed the same rules as any other member. If the club president is changing the rules after the members join the club or not following the rules himself I do not believe there is much you can do about it. Doubt you can quit and receive a refund unless the club president agrees and there is time for him to find a replacement. Best option is to try and make the best of the remaining part of the season/lease and look for a new and better run club for next year.

Less about kissing or sucking anything. Staying in a good club is more about following rules and doing unto others as you would want to be treated.

Statement was "Staying in a good club." For a bad situation note the last line in my first post; Best option is to try and make the best of the remaining part of the season/lease and look for a new and better run club for next year.

If you can not stay in a bad club cuts your losses and get out. Life is to short to just be miserable some where.

I've only been in one club and the year I got out the "president" ran off with the payment the other guys paid in advance and all the saved money for food plots . Lucky I was already out and he hadn't taken any of my money. All I got out the club was to coyotes and a couple of memorable turkey hunts.

Just the phrase "club President" is nauseating.
NO thanks.

If you can, the ideal club size is "1". The last club I was in was more about drinking than hunting. The club president announced at a board meeting I was not going to be allowed to re-join. (A statement he denied making to me.) A few months later, the club was told if he remained as president, the lease was being pulled. Karma.

Haha don’t even get me started...was in a club that tried to increase the price after the season started with his “possy” and then left that club and at another club where each year the president rotated, the one for that year got on a power trip and ended up enforcing a rule that had never been enforced right before season after money was paid disallowing me to hunt in college under the family membership...we wouldn’t have joined it for the second year if that had been understood..

IDK... why are so many "club presidents" POS?!?!?!? Don't change rules after money has changed hands. Make rules based on solid QDM principles and not what you heard at the coffee shop! Be realistic and don't think that every 4 yr old Bama buck is going to score 150.

I've seen it all! There are some dumb, ignorant, greedy, unethical, etc... individuals running hunting clubs. Worst I saw were a husband and wife team out of Dallas Co off Hwy 41 above Camden. The Motts? That lady was unbelievable!!!! I was in that club for one year and got the hell out. I hope that couple got their land pulled from them. I hope another female hunter slapped that Mott old lady to the ground! I would have put a fist in her face if she'd been a man.

And there are some good people too... but the aforementioned seems to be too often found!

I guess I’ve been lucky. I’ve been in 2 clubs in about 15 years. Both were good clubs with good presidents. Looking back maybe I was just easy going but I had no complaints out of either one of them.

We don't have a club president. We have a benevolent dictator, and that works.Everyone knows the few rules ( more like guidelines), paying your dues means you agree to them. No fines, no penalties. You just don't get asked back.

Well I happen to be one of those "club presidents" and have been for 7 years. My take is, I don't ever decide anything, we have a club meeting where ALL rules and guidelines are voted on by the membership, and then nobody can complain about said rules etc. I will say this, find yourself some like minded members who all have the club in their best interest, and there is no drama and everything runs smooth.
