I saw Squeakys deer. Y’all don’t want to see pics of it, it will just make you sick that you can’t afford to spend $4000 to kill a buck in Alabama.
Congratulations Mike!

Congratulations Mike! Nope, I’m mad it’s a 4.5 hour drive and I don’t own a helicopter. Congrats Mike!

Still very tempting, mike and Danny have a great thing they are putting together. Congrats on the deer squeaky. I’m sure the rewards will become even better as yalls efforts come to fruition of the next few years.

Thank you all for the kind words. I have had an amazing season on our new property. It has far exceeded my expectations this first year!! Danny was gracious enough to share enough information with me that I was simply in the right place at the right time on two occasions this year. The latest deer is my best Bama buck to date and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity at such a deer! This season has truly been a roller-coaster with starting this place up from scratch. It's taken a lot of work and money by everyone involved to be where we are today. I look forward to what our future holds!

Oh, I forgot to mention the BEST thing I love about this club... GUESTS are the enemy of hunting clubs. What's it matter if you're in a low member to high acreage ratio if your guests allowance is liberal?!?!? I had a guests try to tell me one time where he was going go hunt. My reply: "Buddy, you haven't paid a dime in dues nor a minute of work here! You'll pick your hunting location after all the paying members have chosen their areas!" Just kinda pissed me off that this guest acted like he had a right to chose where he was going to go before paying members.
Guests, to me, equals immature bucks killed and no investment into the club and additional hunting pressure.. I prefer a VERY limited guests policy and it seems like this club understands the cons of guests hunters. ' '

I prefer a VERY limited guests policy and it seems like this club understands the cons of guests hunters. ' ' Seen this before too. Even seen members ask other members to move their pins so they can hunt that area. Turkey hunting even worse. Had a buddy (new member) in a club who had signed out for an area, drove down and was sitting in the truck drinking coffee when headlights pulled up. Buddy got out and figured they were going to hunt on the other end of the property and were just being cordial. Nope. The member (older member and club pres buddy) wanted to hunt where my buddy was. Said he'd found these birds last week and wanted to hunt them. My buddy, trying to be nice, said they were welcome to hunt with him and he wouldn't even take a gun and just call. Nope, not an option. Member said he wanted to do it all by himself. That's when my buddy finally said well, I signed out here today and there's plenty of land and I'm hunting here and you need to find another spot today. The older member got all huffy and said we'll see about that. Daylight comes and bird starts gobbling. The older member sets up about a 100 yards away from my friend and yelps non-stop at the birds on the roost. According to my friend, he yelped for a solid hour. Not surprisingly, the birds didn't show and this jackass just ruins it for both of them. After birds are gone to the next county, my buddy walks over to where this member is sitting and confronts him about it. Tthe older member just shrugged and said, "I told you I was gonna hunt these birds and I meant it." Think club pres said or did anything. Nope. Not even when that same older member would leave his pin on the board for days at a time in an area he wasn't hunting just to keep folks out of there. In the majority of the clubs, if you're the buddy of the pres, you can do about any dang thing you want and rules and common courtesy be damned.

Sometimes you just gotta cut a man’s tires Doc. I was just thinking the same thing Brent. Was going to write "I hope that old member is in pretty good shape cause he'd be changing all 4 tires on his truck if he wanted it to come with him out of the woods." I wouldnt cut them but I would drive roofing nails into all 4 of his tires so that there was at least some plausible deniability on my part. Either way he'd get the message loud and clear.

Well, i am the fairest azzhole you will ever meet. And, my old buddy Squeaky.....he is a real close 2nd!! Seriously, the Rules on our Club apply to EVERYBODY! And, although we will not lose a friend over a mistake, they are pointed out immediately in an effort to prevent them from happening again. It sure does make it easier seeing that we have an AWESOME group of guys who are all committed to making this place SUPER special!!!

We have one opening due to a member recently passing away and maybe a few more if planned showings to interested folks do not pan out. If anyone is seriously interested let me know. I will respectfully ask, if you are a person just fishing for information please do not waste my time. I will gladly share information with anyone that fits what we are looking for in a member. We will start to process by having you review our application and rules. If are still interested after reviewing that information we would like you to complete the application and email it back to me for us to review. If we think you are a good fit for what we are trying to put in place you will be invited to tour the property. We will arrange a time that fits both of our schedules. After the tour you will have the option to join or decline the opportunity. A deposit will be required at the time of showing if you decided to join.
We are picking up another 1600 acers that joins the 4322 we had last year. This new land addition has not been legally hunted in 3 years and it shows a lot of promise. There are bucks that have been born on this tract that will be 4 years old when season opens that have never been hunted. We will have a total 6031 continuous acers and 20 members max, that is 301 acres per member. Cost for first year member is $4250 and a farm house set up as a bunk house is included in dues. If you require a private room we can not offer that currently, but will progress towards offering a better camp situation with more privacy in the future hopefully.
The biggest buck killed last year was 144 5/8" 11pt and we had some really good deer survive that we either passed or did not see. We killed 10 bucks last season with 14 members and several more missed. We killed 4 does off the property as well. We did not shoot our property up our first year. We took a very conservative approach out the gate and will continue to do so until our deer population is where we would like it. The future looks very bright on this tract of land it will only get better each year. Our buck to doe ratio is very strong and this property will offer the opportunity to take some special deer for the state of Alabama. I personally killed my best Alabama deer to date off it so I'm not blowing smoke here to get someone's money. It is a legit possibility or I can assure you, I would not be wasting my time hunting here.
