Until this year we only required 16 hours of work by each member, based on honor system. Planting weekend is mandatory and not considered a work day.

But this year, because most of the 16 hours was used for personal scouting, we set up 2 work days and each member was required to attend at least one of the two, or be accessed a fee of $200.00

We had 10 of 13 show up for the first one and got a ton of needed things accomplished. The second one, we only had three show up and two of those were at the first one. We still have work to be done and still require each member to put in an additional 16 hours. If they don't do the work or pay the fine before the season opens, then they don't hunt until they do.
