I was once a member of a club in St Clair. The old St Clair WMA was leased to the state for $1.00 per year and was a tax write off. The state was supposed to maintain gates and roads, plant a certain number of food plots, and use biologists for herd management. The owner of the land gave the state several years to fix what was supposed to be done, but failed in every area. So, landowner pulled lease from the state and offered it to us since we already leased other land from him. I'm sure this still holds true for other WMAs that are being pulled and now clubs.
