I guess I care for friends more than deer, because I try to put them in my best spots. Though I would like to kill a 170+ inch deer I'm not going to pay someone to hunt or take away from the memories created from hunting with friends.
You cant eat "horns" anyway.
Agree 100%.

I haven't taken a guest in years. They seem to have a problem following the rules and don't contribute a damn thing. I hunt by myself and don't need anyone to push my wheelchair yet. I hold the lease and do the majority of the planting and the other work that gets done. I'll be 75 in June and hanging in there like a hair in a biscuit That is how I feel about a guest. It "could" be useful for recruitment, but the button head killed on my lease this past season was killed by a guest. I haven't taken a guest since I joined a club up here.

Agree 100%. When I was early in my hunting days I had a 68 acre piece of hardwoods that was a gold mine. I had been hunting a big deer and this was before trail cameras were really big so I was purely hunting sign. I had a buddy from high school ask to come hunt one day and I put him in the stand I was going to sit that morning. About 830 I heard him shoot and sure enough he shot the buck. At first I was mad at myself but soon realized that just wasn’t my buck. Fast forward 15 years and I still haven’t closed the book on a big buck and maybe never will but I can at least say I didn’t and still don’t gar hole my buddies

I don’t get not wanting to bring friends or hunting land by yourself. My favorite hunting memories are from times at camp or time shared with friends and family. As a member you’re responsible for whatever they do which can affect your good standing as a member in some clubs. As a lessor with certain goals in mind, you sacrifice expenses, time and effort on your lease to get it where you want it just to let someone to come in with no sweat in the game to reap the benefits from your hard work. When you’re trimming the roads/trails and fixing stands in July/August, planting in September, along with all the other mess and your “buddy” can’t find the time to make it up, you'll start getting the point pretty quick. That said. My family is always welcome at camp regardless of work participated in.

We all contribute work when we can and split the lease cost. If some one wants to bring a guest who is not a paying "member" thats fine if they kill a big deer it doesn't bother us we'll all have a beer around and congratulate them. Its just a deer at the end of the day and its supposed to be fun but to each their own

It is a good way to see if you like them, assuming you are going to add people, but, it is frustrating for the people who do the work to see a guest come out there and kill a good deer. That is what I saw in my last club, guests that were there for more than a month, and lucked into killing a couple really nice bucks during the rut. I doubt the member was paying $50/day for his guest to be there either. Then I come out and find the member had left the gate open and pinned the guest out and he wasn't even there..
