STAY AWAY FROM CEDAR CREEK HUNTING CLUB.... (Brent, AL) I will apologize early for the long post and how it’s all jumbled up! But I feel like I should express my opinion, especially seeing the president tried to block me on social media hoping I wouldn’t be able share with the public!!!

This past weekend my dad and I pulled our final belongings out of that club or should I say the stuff that wasn’t stolen from us! YES, you saw that right! We weren’t the only members that had multiple SD cards stolen from our cameras... eventually that guy was caught red handed on camera. When this issue was addressed with the president, he did absolutely nothing because it was his buddy!

The club is advertising looking for two members... Well I’m 1 of 9 members that left the club! Technically “Shane Wheeler the club president” kicked me out! I asked why and he couldn’t give me a legitimate reason or show proof of any rule I broke! To top that all off he lied to me and said they took a club vote. By “club vote” he meant him and his buddy (William) because everyone I’ve spoke to had no clue about it! Finally his so called reasoning of kicking me out was I went to check a camera the last night of the season at 6:30 pm for a member who had open heart and hadn’t been able to hunt all year! So this got me kicked out, but his buddy (William) was on camera all season long doing this and he got a free pass!

I’m not saying the president is a bad guy, i’m just saying is he is scared of confrontation, he is scared to enforce the rules, he has no respect or common courtesy of other hunters space (hanging cameras 50 yards from mine) If it convenients him or his buddy (William) they will do whatever they want, whenever they please including running the roads. Another example changing the rules mid season without any type of vote! Personally I don’t think he has what it it takes to properly manage or run a club. His mentality is “I signed the lease so I’m going to do whatever I choose” so basically the rules only apply to others for the ones who paid the lease!

Most the trail cam pics you see being advertised came from my camera or my dads. Funniest thing about all of this is before, We could even get all of our cameras/stands out Shane and his buddy had already started hanging their cameras/stands on the exact spots we had our cameras/stands... I SAW 17 deer ALL SEASON! I hunted 19 days strait in December and saw the same fawn twice (only deer I saw during the rut) This club had 16 members and killed 11 deer total 3 bucks (2 of those bucks my dad killed and he isn’t even getting back in) My dad and I provided 22 stands for that club.... Those stands have been removed! So Not only did over half the members go, 50-65 percent of the stands left also!

So after reading everything above, if you like taking $1600 and throwing it out the window, then you have found the right club! If you like paying your dues for others to get a free range lease then again this club is for you!

Take my post with a grain of salt, because this is just my opinion, I’m simply just warning you what to expect!!
