Waiting on one club to see if they will have openings in a few days. If they do in fact have an opening then my search will be over.

Have any of Ya ever been part of a lease where each member has there own area to hunt and that is the only area they can hunt on the entire lease. Each member has 250 acres to hunt on and that is Your area and the only area You as a member has access to hunt. The entire lease is 7000’acres for the club. Opinions welcome and I am trying to decide if this is something I should choose to be part of.

That's what most of the Florida clubs around here went to after baiting became legal down there, and I'm afraid that it's going to come to here. The folks who end up with the "good" spots stay in forever, and they constantly turn over the members who get stuck with the "bad" spots. The bad spots just get new owners every year or two.

Not for me.

That’s what I was thinking with the good areas and bad areas. It just seems too restrictive when every member is helping to pay the whole lease but the members are not getting to enjoy the entire property that they as a whole are helping to pay for. I am leaning heavily against this since my gut is telling me it just does not seem right to me.

I’ve not been in one personally, and I wouldn’t under any circumstance, but I have exactly two friends who have been in clubs where that was the situation. Both had very poor experiences.

No, do not like that idea. Exactly what has been said is what would happen. The whole lease should be available to all members.

Hell no I wouldn’t do that,I’d just lease a few hundred to myself if that was the case

I told the guy thanks for the offer but I will pass on it. I am still looking to join lease or low member club.

Lot of clubs down here are like that.

Man I bet those become a who can put out the most bait competition.

Sounds like you have already passed on this, but it works with the right people/ management.
Nearly all Louisiana (at least north Louisiana) and Arkansas leases are this way. I was in one for 15 yrs. Almost no turnover. Each member had two stands and could buy a third one. Pretty much everyone had at least one good stand. By the time I moved back to AL, I had two really good stands.

It really cuts down on pressure, you don't have everyone running all over the entire lease. Especially works for clubs that are not brown its down.

Still not seeing much for club openings yet and it is close to Mid May. I still have my 2 areas I hunt real close to my house just looking for a top notch place to be apart of within an hour of my house if that even exists 😂

I'm in a La Floresta club south of Atmore. Our club like other La Floresta clubs each member has a private area which combined is about half of the total acreage. The other half is club plots and stands that any member can hunt. Club pays for corn, seed and fertilizer on these.Our private areas average about 100 acres each and most have a food plot. Mine doesn't have a plot but it's in the best area of the club.I couldn't be in a club that gives you a private area and that's the only place you can hunt. As a new member, guess which area you would get.

Yes sir that is the reason I chose not to be apart of it, knowing I was not getting a choice of the best of areas on lease.

Still on the hunt for a well managed lease or club to be apart of.

I have two openings I need to fill unforunately we are well above your budget. Otherwise we fit what you are looking for.

Your lease and the way Yaw do things definitely fits what I am looking for. If You were a little closer to my house I would probably up my budget to be apart of what Yaw have going on your outstanding lease.

We should fall into to the 1 hr or just a bit over. I have members that day trip from Mobile area often. If you will PM me your address I can confirm travel time for you.

Squeaky, I absolutely would love to be apart of what Ya have going at Your lease but I know I would not be able to hunt much at all there with the distance there and my job schedule plus family time. Still looking and to update I am looking for a low hunter to land ratio- At least 200 acres to every 1 member. I am looking to be apart of a mindset of letting young bucks walk till at least 3.5 years of age. I am not going to pressure the lease much at all since I have a 150 acre and 1500 acre lease I have been hunting for years now within 10 minutes of my house. My budget is $3000 for the right place within 1 hr or less of my house in Central Baldwin County.

I as well am looking for a good quality club within an hour of Robertsdale. If anyone had anything please give me a shout.
