I have hunted this club with some previous members. Burton is not being honest about why he downsized the club. Has nothing to do with his family. The fact is everyone left due to the lack of deer. At one point it was an ok club but due to some bad seeds in the club it no longer is. Some guy and his wife shoot everything they see. I've heard rumors about what they do during the week when no one is there. Don't let the false advertising fool you. Summer plots have NOT been planted in many years. I believe they do vote on rules as a club but they're not really enforced. I personally heard Burton say he was going to shoot a spike the next day cause he wanted some meat. SMH!!! I think there's a small fine for shooting young deer but it doesn't go back into the club. It goes into his pocket. So basically he shoots anything he wants with no worries. As do his friends and family. I don't think he's a bad guy. He's just not completely honest about what he's saying.

Hmmmm....

Nasty first post..

Rammer jammer I show where all the money in the club goes. I show a cost expense summery each year of how much is spent on spring fields, fall fields, power and water. I also so how much comes in each year from each membership, guest fees, and fines. If you do a good budget you can't cheat, I have been in a club that lies and when I started this club I decided to show everything each year. I don't know of many clubs that do that. As for me putting money in my pocket that's a joke, if you have ever ran a club you would know how much extra a president puts into it, from the gas showing the property, to diesel in the tractor, time spent on the phone. Our dues are $1,300per yr, last year I kept up with everything I do and I spent over $3, 500.

As for me shooting a spike "haha" I don't even need to respond to that.

We did't plant spring fields last year because of weather, I saved that seed and put it in the ground last weekend.

I love hunting and always dreamed of having my on lease so it could be ran right and not hide anything, I don't know what else I can do.

Rammer jammer you don't know me. I am giving up it up because of my family, they come first to me.

If your not going to do it every year...Don't advertise that you do.... And the list grows.....

People can hide behind a computer and say anything. My name is Eric Burton, I don't lie. I have put my heart, soul and even the end of my finger (moving a camper)into Deep South. It is hard work running a club and not everybody is going to agree. I came on aldeer looking for members I hope everybody will not let the lies that are being said on here turn them from calling me. I have put my name and number on here several times, I can also give you many references. I don't hide and I don't lie. 205-365-3111

Sorry we didn't plant one year, and when people called me I told them we didn't plant. WOW

WOW is right...Just when you think its over... Other things add up....

Have you ever ran your own club?????

Doing it now...Been doing it for 7 years... No problems... When you have 6 attorneys in the club....money is not an issue....

How much land? Do y'all plant your on fields? How many members?

1800 acres... 12 members currently.....We plant our own fields....Just planted 12 bags of Iron and Clay peas and three bags of chufa last week.... We have three tractors and a 3 bedroom 2 bath house on 6 acres that sleeps 12....

Nice best of luck to you.

There was nothing planted last spring but that wasn't Eric
's fault. If I remember right we tried three different weekends but every time it rains too much to get on the fields. Heck as a member who is getting out I saw how it was run and wasn't upset . The part about the member and wife is in my opinion a complete fabrication. I think I know who you are talking about and you are WRONG. That member did kill one deer under the minimum but he paid his fine and all is well . Personally after hunting there one year I would say that member probably hunts harder than anyone there and does lots more work than almost anyone. I don't know what the deal here is but I didn't see what you talk of? Looks like sour grapes from someone who got booted from the club.

I forwarded this and got and interesting reply. The fact is he has not planted summer fields in 3 to 4 years. Like I said. I don't think he's a bad guy but he's not honest. No one has ever seen what he spends. No power bills. No list of fees and fines taken in and where it goes. Have you? I'm not trying to promote anything on here so what advantage would I have for making up lies? I heard him myself say he was going to kill a spike cause he wanted some meat. Just saying what I know and what I've heard. Sorry but when I read this post I couldn't just bite my tongue. Too many people exaggerate their clubs to be better than they actually are on here.

You have never been to one of my club meetings so you don't know what I/we do. If any body wants to see receipts or power bills I have them. I keep everything just for guys like you that want to call me a liar.

As for the spike thing I may have been joking when I said that but I have not shot a buck that was under 3 1/2 years old in ten years. I work to hard to manage our club to go out there and kill a spike for meat THAT IS JUST STUPID!!!!!

How about this no matter what is said about me, other members or my club. Deep South is not going anywhere. Aldeer used to be a good forum. Just like fishingforbuck asked for 1 member with a list of requirements, everybody on here bashed him. He knows what he is looking for and y'all have nothing else better to do then make jokes. I hope real men/hunters will make their own choices and not let these kids on here influence them. Not just about my club but about others on here as well.

my bad fishingbucks not fishingforbucks
