We are going to be looking for 3 new members on our deer lease in southern Arkansas. Likely going to post it on Louisiana Sportsman. Wanting to have some sort of application for people to complete so we don’t end up with some undesirables. What are some things you would be sure to list on the application?

Lease is 2,000 acres and we are wanting to cap it at 10 members. Dues will be $2,100/year. For more info e-mail oaklandcampinfo@gmail.com

Would ask AI, find generic application online for memberships & tweek it for your purpose, run it by a contract attorney.
MVR & background check can reveal some character issues but as we discussed it isn’t a fail safe by any means.

No need to be cute with the questions on the application. Ask what you want, and drill down into the items that truly make your club better.

Age
Occupation
Location of primary residence
Number of hunters(if you allow family hunting under membership)
Access to equipment (list equipment if so)

speaking from experience, when you post the ad for new members, list as much info as you can, especially total number of members, acreage, animals, lodging, and especially cost...annual dues plus any expectations of stand maintenance, keeping feeders full, sharing utilities, etc. Show pictures of stands, food plots, and satellite aerial.

This will cut down the BS emails to only the serious inquiries. Cuts your work in half.

I would ask for hunting club references and former hunting partners.

This is why I quit hunting. It is like that everywhere, and it is ridiculous.
