We’re part of a big club with 40 members and close to 7000 acres. We have rules that address everything from baiting, guests limits, ect. I’m good with all of them. In the interest of time and space, I will only address the size limit we use.
We have split the property into 2 sections. One side, which is about 4000 acres, a deer must have a 12 inch inside spread. On the other side, about 3000 acres we are a little more restrictive. A buck must have 14 inch inside spread or have 165lb live weight. A member made a T-square with a 12” and 14” bar. This must fit between the spread to confirm width. That way a tape measure is not needed. We are not a trophy club and will never be. However, we do attempt to minimize shooting small bucks and does. Oh, and all does must be 65lbs live weight.
We have fines that are collected immediately if the deer does not meet the minimum requirements. Fines must be paid before the hunter can hunt again.
