Lots of new select cut areas cut last fall...NO clear cuts..
Lots of creeks and HW bottoms and drains..Beautiful
property....Has been Trophy club for 4 yrs with only
120"-130" deer killed with "Must mount" rule, so there
is a good population of legal bucks under the new 4pt per
side rule...

membership, so you can PM me for more info, and
arrange a tour....

I'm a former member this is great land - good herd and "had some" great guys in it when I was there -- all the rules made by the club Pres. without allowing the members to vote on them made me quit- especially the must mount rule and the no 4-wheeler use (my declining health problems after major surgery was my issue) at one time there were problems with break in at the camp site ,ride through hunting by the locals, and locals using the camp as a trash dump and members having to clean the mess up every year -- If I was close I would consider re-joining---PS any member interested in an Aeriel Photo of the property send me a PM

[Hunter314]

Camp location moved last year - no problems last hunting season. Members will be involved in rule making. Must mount rule is gone. 4-wheelers allowed in offseason, but new membership can discuss ATV rules.

where at in heard? any rabbits?

[Hunter314]

Just a short ways east if Ephesus. I have not hunted rabbits, but assume they are there based on the habitat.

[huntnnut]

where at in heard? any rabbits?

It's in between Ephesus and Roosterville and its covered up in rabbits and some big bucks usually come off from it every year. It also has a pretty good quail population and a few turkeys.

I hunted it for a couple of years, just got tired of the drive from Lawrenceville.

[7Mag Hunter]

Last year was my 1st in the club, and I could have limited
out on does before Thanksgiving even with the logging
operation going on..New select cut areas and drag
roads have opened up areas which were very thick and unhuntablein past years...Good foot travel roads now...
Saw a number of QDM legal bucks,and one
buck which was approx 130+"....Just could not get him to
hold still for a heart shot...He was way to big to wound
with a marginal shot....
I would continue with them this year but have some
health issues that prevent me from hunting much this year....

[Hunter314]

This weekend would be a good time to stop by if you want to take a look at the property as we have many individuals scheduling visits.

bump for a good tract of land and GOOD club--- Scott --Tell Anthony Eddy said HI :shoot:

[Meriwether Mike]

These two bucks came off the CHHC in 2005.

[7Mag Hunter]

Thanks for the bump Eddy, and pics Steel.....

Sure wish I could hunt it this year, but with my injury this
spring and being out of work for 6 mos,,,,Just cant do it !!!

Steel, the buck I passed on was a bit bigger than your
1st pic and saw several very close to your 2nd pic...Just
not quite big enough for what I was lookin for...Good
genetics in that area...Big does too !!!


Thanks again guys !!!!

[Eddy M.]

If my health had been good I would have never left this club -- but just couldn't do it with the cancer surgery and the 4-wheeler use restrictions back then---if a buck better than either of Mike's photos walked past my stand and I didn't shoot -- I was either asleep-- or dead:bounce::bounce:

[7Mag Hunter]

Eddy, Maybe we can both rejoin next year....Some
discussions as to "relax" the ATV rule to allow better
access to some remote areas...The road to food plot #1
is over 1 mile to the creek, and now that it has been
select cut, it is going to be awesome hunting....Mostly ALL
hardwoods running down to a wide creek and beaver
swamp...Anthony killed a 11pt there in 2006...

[LAKOTA]

Can someone give me the specifics on the ATV restrictions? My father called about the land today (was listed in the local paper) and is going to look it over Monday. He is 63 and would not be able to walk a mile to a hunting stand one-way every time he enters the woods.

He was told that the rule concerning the use of alcohol was also changed (No alcohol, which is great). That was one thing that fueled my fathers interest.

Any other information, GOOD or BAD, would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to send me an email or PM.

Thanks in advance!

[7Mag Hunter]

Lakota, PM Hunter314...He is the new club pres, and
can answer your questions...
Scott is a reasonable guy, and main concern was that
guys would riding during prime hunting times....
It has been NO ALCOHOL club for the last 4 years, and
I believe it will remain so...Most guys last year were
pretty serious hunters, and no real "goof offs" in camp,
if you know what I mean....

[wgeeslin]

I would love to come see the place who should i call??

[gadeerwoman]

I've heard some good stuff re this hunting club. A suggestion regarding the atv usage might be to allow for electric golf carts if the roads thru the property allow. Those things are great for folks who can't walk far and are so quiet you can't hear them. In my old club, Mr. James used to sneak up on me at camp all the time in his cart and I would never hear him coming. If my roads were in better shape I'd have me one of those electric jobs!

[zksailfish]

sounds like a great club, why are you taking away the no mounting rule?

[Hunter314]

Lots of guys in the club and potential new members didn't like the rule. The club never voted on this rule. Previoulsy it had been provided by the lease holder.

The ATV rule has been changed where you can now drive in on and park on the main roads into the woods.

[savetheweb]

Still looking for members in the club for this season???

[bucktrucker]

what is the total lease price going to be is it going be the 650.00 .Do you have personal areas?

[savetheweb]

QUESTION == Are the stands and areas of the PIN board open to ALL members of the club? So 1st come 1st serve on the hnting area for members??

thanks

[7Mag Hunter]

All areas of the property are open to hunt on a 1st come, 1st hunt
basis....If someone has a stand in an area, you have to get his
permission 1st....You can use climbers anywhere...Just pin in 1st...

NO RESERVED AREAS....

So if someone has a stand in an area that would be there area to hunt? So area are Private to hunt if stand owner doesn't give permission or is it if the owner isn't on the lease that hunt day you can hunt it?? Rather have it open to all members all areas on the pin in system....

thanks though

[7Mag Hunter]

No reserved areas...If there is a stand up (not yours), just hang
your climber next to it and hunt, Unless the stand owner pins in
1st and beats you to the area...
1st come 1st hunt......All areas open for everyone to hunt....

[Eddy M.]

I think what he means is ---------if Joe has a stand in XYZ bottom and you pin in first you can hunt the area but NOT out of Joe's personal tree stand/blind / tower stand unless Joe has given permission ----you can do your stand in the next tree or what ever-- that was the way it worked when I was a member and huntnut let me hunt his tower stands several times ---very fair process--- great club and land and some big deer

[savetheweb]

No reserved areas...If there is a stand up (not yours), just hang
your climber next to it and hunt, Unless the stand owner pins in
1st and beats you to the area...

Thanks for clarity there...

[Hunter314]

We filled up with members this last season and are starting to take names for the 2008-09 season. Please contact me only if seriously interested. All of the property is open to everyone - no reserved or private areas. The only time you need permission is to hunt is to hunt another members stand [actual stand (ladder, climber, etc.) not an area].

[dixie]

Sounds like a nice place and great rules 7
