I've only been a member of a club once. Good fellas all. Hunting just wasn't that great and my time was limited. I enjoyed the company and never had a problem. Didn't mind being a butt of jokes and delivered a few too.
No reason to be a member when I have 129 acres I can hunt with only my BIL to compete. I've never went when I didn't see deer. My daughter is wanting deer meat. I plan on gearing up after a long absence and taking her next year.
I'll put at least one in the freezer, maybe more if I can talk my wife into eating deer with us.
I can literally sit down next to a tree and withing 1 hour of sunrise harvest something. No need for a club.
