I was sent a text message by the president of the hunting club I joined last year asking me to clean my stuff out before Turkey season begins.

The number one reason listed was because I shot the largest deer ever on the property and didn't shoulder mount it. He also listed that I allowed my youngest son shoot a small doe. I wanted him to get his first deer, the season was winding down so he shot one smaller that I would have normally shot. Neither of these things were actual rules in the club written rules and just feelings.

In December I took a few weeks off of work to hunt when the rut was starting and this big buck had been on camera for years and just getting bigger. I started hunting him just as hard as everyone else and I noticed people started acting weird with me that week. The day I shot the buck almost everyone was downright cold or ambivalent towards me and got more weird as the last few weeks of the seasons wound down.

Also of note; Although I have only been a paying member for one year, I have been hunting with a friend there for 3-4 years. I was also working every summer changing batteries in feeders and cameras, working on broken feeders, filling feeders, resetting times and timers, and planting food plots. Myself and another member also took over an unused camp and cleaned, repaired and updated, out of our own pockets this camp.

TLDR: I shot the record buck for our property and most members turned into jealous children and I was kicked out.

In my experience, hunting clubs are the largest collection of men acting like jealous bitches I’ve ever seen.

I would do some really bad stuff if that happened to me.

Also, are there a bunch of turkeys there, and do you have a key to the gate still?

Post a pic of the buck to see if it needed another year or should have been mounted.

I would pack my stuff and thank the man for letting you out before you spent more money on HIS place. Explain to him that you will find some grown ups to hunt with.

I would run from this place.

It was an 11 point with an unofficial score of 166.

Too many turkeys. I would count as many as 20 in a food plot or a corned location all of the time.

Breaking up through a text? Sounds like a bunch of high school girls.

Be glad you killed the biggest deer on the place and go find a better bunch of people.

Did you save antlers or do a euro? Not that any of that is any of their business just curious. Sounds like you’ll be better off moving along. I think many of us have dealt with deer lease bitches rules for thee and not for me and not wanting to put up with blatant firearm safety issues.

I’ve killed many (in my opinion) great deer but never had one shoulder mounted. I’ve saved all of the skull caps or heads but that’s just my personal preference. I’ve had the landowner question my decision before and scratch his head but when I showed him my setup in my office he understood and said he liked it.

First rule in Hunting Club. Don't kill and tell.

nice deer. I'm actually a fan of euro mounts vs shoulder mounts for most animals.
