Gone but not forgotten
The club has decided to go to 11 Full Members, 2 Deer Only Members, 1 Honorary Member and 2 Turkey Only Members for 2009-2010.
The club is 1105 acres located about 1 hour from Atlanta off of I-20 just inside the Alabama state line.
I can be reached at 770-277-8106 until 8PM for details.
We currently have 1 Full Membership Available @ $800.00. We may have more on June 1st as deposits from returning members are due at that point.
We are a Family Oriented Club and will keep it that way. We have no problem with drinking a few beers with Dinner but it just has to be controlled.The goal of the club is to hunt, be safe,respect each other,help each other out and have fun while doing it.
In order to maintain the type of club atmosphere that we have each prospective member will need to complete an application and meet one of the members in order to view the property. The application will be reviewed and the openings will then be filled.
This was our 3rd year and so far we have taken 5 bucks and 26 Does from the property. There have been many younger bucks seen in the 80-110" range that we have let walk. A realistic approach to this property is that you will see many deer but as with most property the bigger bucks are few and far between which is why we have established the rules that are in place. There were several young borderline bucks that were "allowed" to walk and we have several "Shooters" on camera so we should have a good chance at some nice ones this year. We are in this lease for the long term(3 year lease..self renewing for another 3 years) and want someone who can help develop the potential of the property. The property has several Hardwood Bottoms full of White Oaks, about 700 acres in thinned planted pines, 12 club food plots that were planted in Duranna and Patriot Clovers and on site primitive camping.
Turkey - By all accounts we are loaded with Turkey but not Turkey Hunters. The first year of the club 2 members took 3 Toms. Last season the property was only Turkey hunted 2 times and this Deer Season I saw and got got many many Turkey on video. Rick had a great season out there last year as seen by the attached pics.
