I’m gonna ask you this stuff, but to be clear I think you were kicked out for being better at killing that buck than they were.

Were all stands “club stands”, or was there otherwise any way of deciding who hunts where? When you started “hunting that buck” did you get in a stand or stands where one guy had built the shoot house, bought the feeder, camera, and filled it with corn multiple times out of his pocket?

Not accusing you of anything, just trying to figure out how to get in front of shite like that. Everyone on our place gets along but it’s hard to find a balance between putting reasonable shite in writing and having to write an encyclopedia of rules that should be common sense.

All club stands. Dues paid for most corn but I was buying corn out of pocket.

There is a board with all of the stand names and you move your name to where you plan to hunt at 4:00AM and 2:00PM, first come first use. If I planned to hunt a stand and someone else wanted to also, we flipped for it.

Yeah, clubs can be finicky. They have as many unwritten rules as written ones. My dad and I used to be in a club that was all family. We got out when we realized we had too much to take care of on our own land and were barely hunting on the club.

The "problems" that would arise would be people who weren't "family" (i.e. in-laws or friends of family members) who didn't grow up in the club and know/understand those unwritten rules. These were very limited problems and in almost all cases once the unwritten rules were explained they were followed. A lot of them were common courtesy.

One example: The club had several logging roads through it. You could build a stand on these roads since they weren't public, but you did so with the understanding that people were going to come by them. However, unless you killed a deer, you were expected to stay in your stand until 10am in the morning. We had an issue with a non family member that would take a young kid hunting who would only last till about 7am. So, he would go in before daylight, back out at 7, then back into the stand by himself and then back out again, usually before anyone else got off their stands.
