[BWANAMARK]

If anyone is seriously interested and wants to take a look, I intend to drive the entire lease this next weekend. We have more than a few slots open (due to gas prices and members who drive 6 to 8 hours + to club) for the time being and can accept a group.

This is a great club with a great camp and a great bunch of guys and gals. I was a member for 7 years straight and had to drop out for a few seasons due to a lousy (now ex) wife. I'm very happy to be able to rejoin. The property is great with varied terrain and timber. The hunting is some of the best, and this club has been in continuous existence for over 30 years. NO RESERVED OR LOCKED OUT AREAS FOR ANYONE. Hunt where you want on a first come first pinned basis. Gentleman Rules only. Almost all the food plots have permanent stands.

Its a real social group of folks and we do a big BBQ every fall and often cook together in the camp kitchen which has an electric range and tables in the pavillion. Even in the last few years when I couldn't join I still went down for the fall BBQ and camraderie.

In the last couple years we've (they) have been buying quail and pheasants to release for bird hunts with dogs and a big cook out afterwards which has been a big hit with everyone.

Come join WhiteOak, you won't regret the experience.

If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM

We're gonna be doing our spring planting and camp clean up. Come on down!

The club has almost completed the Spring planting of a half ton of soybeans, iron clay peas and corn - for supplemental nutrition of the herd. This ought to make for a lazy Summer for our herbivores. Bill has "tractor butt".

Been about 5 turks killed thus far - others missed. Mine died Friday at 3 pm 40 yards outside a ground blind - (and yes it was hot!) 11 inches of beard, 1 inch spurs, 4 or 5 years old. :banana:Seems as interest in turkey hunting has waned some (which is fine with me). Two weekends left to hunt though - and club has been lightly hunted, as usual.

One member has a nice but very affordable camper for lease (30ft?) on a prime camp lot. Previous owner just got transferred. Still needing a couple of safe, ethical and law abiding hunters - until May 15, 2010.

Still looking for a few. 3 joined recently. August is best time to meet everyone, and tour property, as several are typcially there every weekend readying the abundant plots, hanging stands, and so forth.

1300$ include spouse? she hunts part of the time and has never shot a deer.

[Dan7347]

No it would not include your spouse, but she would only have to pay the small guest fee whn she hunted.... This is a nice club, lots of land, food plots and areas of good hunting, along with a great bunch of guys and gals... as mentioned above..

[benbishop6602]

I hunted there 8-9 years agowhen steve corkern (i think) ran it. Nice place to camp and hunt w killer hw ridger and plots. Killed the deer in my picture there in late dec. also got a deer w bow and black powder. Im in one nice club in meriwether already. Thanks again, but the guest fee for my wife was my reason for leavin back then. GL hunting this fall.

[Dan7347]

Our hunting season is longer since I think we are the most north Club in the southern region... :-) something to think about :-)

[BROWNING7WSM]

Do yall have a Doe limit or do yall go by the state limit on Does?

[BWANAMARK]

we have a member who pays two full membership fees and typically he and wife both hunt, so it would be very hard to sell any sort of 2 for 1 deal. Ben, we have the same land as back then (I joined 6 years ago) and a little more. Camp is much, much nicer now. Anybody want a look, holler back as I will likely be down either saturday or Sunday or Monday, and others will likely be about all weekend.

[BWANAMARK]

State limit on does (per rules) - I think one guy almost limited out last year. As long as the meat gets used up (not sold) and does not freezer burn, no one has ever had an issue about that, so far as I know. 1st buck is county regs (4 pts side) 2nd must be 14 or better outside wide. And, as Dan pointed out, one of the reasons I first joined was land is close to the the Northern Zone as you can get, while being in Southern Zone, so we get a few weeks extra season after CHristmas.

Hey Ben!
Its Max. I Didn't know you were on here. Sorry we can't entice you back. We've about doubled our food plots since you left and Corkern has been gone for quite a few years. Steve never ran the club, just his mouth, I liked him ok, but he caused too much trouble.

We've renovated the old bathroom and built a new bathroom onto it, so now were a "2 holer" with plumbing :banana:

If you ever want to check out the goings on, we now have a website http://www.whiteoaksportingclub.com I'm the webmaster so I have to pimp it. :type:

Good luck to you and feel free to stop by for some BBQ on the Archery opener and see some of the old guys who are still around!

[benbishop6602]

maybe ill stop by visit this fall. GL to all. ben

[Dan7347]

I will be down there this weekend if anyone wants a tour... you will not be dissappointed

[gcowley]

yep

[BWANAMARK]

Gordo - It is so great to have you back in club. I (and others) will be down at various times this weekend. Deer are hitting plots hard at 7 pm. and for the next few weeks plots will be re-done, so somebody will be there every weekend if a tour is desired. I have seen one great big un.

[Dan7347]

Just an update for anyone interested. We have about three more openings which may include a camp site. The supplementa feeding program has been working great with several large deer recorded at the feeders. This club has an awesome camp site with water, elect and very nice bathhouse with two bathrooms including showers. Over the next two weekends there will be several members down there as we are planting our winter food plots, which we have about 70. This is a great family oriented fun hunting club with the opportunity to shoot some nice deer. Plus we are the most northern club in the southern zone so almost two weeks of extra hunting. Please come a tour the place, and then you will want to join.

[Daniel_Buckmaster_Lee]

I live in Columbus Georgia. I don't shoot any deer under 125. Gun hunt only in the rut, mostly bow hunt. Don't drink/smoke. Junior in High School. Just looking for a good lease that is close to home that i could drive to after school sometimes. My only guest would be my dad. Do you have an opening for next season?

I'd like to look at the property sometime. when does the new lease start?

[RBBTBONE]

if you are going to have any openings for the 2010season please let me know

[sps]

I would like to talk more about the club. I could possibly be able to bring 3-4 people with me . my e-mail is paulspears1971@yahoo.com could you send me some rules. thanks.

[BWANAMARK]

pms and emails sent - thanks for the interest. i joined a second club this year (for logistcial reasons) and Man was I dissapointed in how the one I joined and one right next to it were being run. Both were 20 member clubs, 1000 acres each. I (suspected but) never really fully knew how lucky we are at White Oak. We have great people and great rules and everyone gets the same benefits for their membership dollars. We do not "homestead". If you can find a stand and pin it, you can hunt it. Even if you joined yesterday. And most everyone will tell you where their stands are.
So, you have full use of 3000 acres, not just what areas have not already been "claimed" by club president or others. Those other clubs I saw will not last. I think White Oak is working on its 4th decade of existence now.

[sps]

Thanks for the e-mails. Myself and a couple friends have been looking for a club that has acerage with the proper amount of members. I understand your disapointment. It happens alot.

[BWANAMARK]

just added one new member last weekend - I will likely be down this next weekend if anyone wants a look see. join now and get two turkey seasons. hunt til 5/15/2011.

interested...my hunting buddy kingfish will be coming this weekend....do you have space for 24ft camper...t-bonerdid kingfish come this weekend????t-boner

[BWANAMARK]

Tank - I am sure we do - Bill 678 907 7367 decides where they go, etc. I think there is a 250 deposit to insure removal (cuz we had to cut up and drag some out)

[BWANAMARK]

oops - Tboner that last one was meant to you and I am checking pm's next. Turns out I have not seen Kingfish since the late 70's:cheers:

Tank - Big Lazer is about 10 mins East?SE of Woodland to my recollection, and from Chapmans Cooler on 41 in Woodland our biggest of 2 tracts is 5 or so minutes West on Hawkins Store rd on Oak Mtn. Our far Eastern border piece touches Big Lazer Ck., just below turkey knob. and runs up to the bridge at Hwy 116.

[ufgf0000]

Do you still have openings for 2010?

[BWANAMARK]

Yes, we do. 3 of us were in camp this past weekend. We were to show property to a couple of prospects, but one had an emergency, so we did not. (I did get that leaking wall in my cabin replaced though:cool:).

See the prev. recent post for Bill's cellnumber, as he can arrange a tour by an avail. member, and I do not know when I will next be at camp (for sure not next weekend though)

thank you for your interest
