[QUOTE="The German, post: 2187260, member: 24525"] I was a member of Sportsmans, but did not agree with the politics and closed door stuff going on and spoke up and that did not go over well. I did not have big issues with the land, but I know there were several times that people would reserve themselves and their family and have their buddy do the same so that the area was full when not even half of them would actually be there. I did hear that they did not even average one deer per member this year. I am now a member of Red Dirt, I like it because it is smaller and more managable and we do not have to spend club money on things like a secretary, like Sportsmans and Hunting Sports Plus. Everyone is involved that wants to be, all information is made available, and it feels more like a club like I am used to from my Arkansas days. I can pretty much name and identify everyone in the club and everyone is willing to help others out. Everyone gets to go see land before we lease it and give input. Red Dirt is not for profit and has no employees. There is another club I think called T-Bar or Bar-T or something like that, I tried to contact them last year and no one would email or call. It is another for profit club which I am not a fan of, but with no contact I did not even get the chance to consider it. Hunting Sports Plus is another one that is for profit, and they will call you for sure, 2-3 times a day! They have land in several states. They are also affiliated with the American Wildlife Association, which from what I understands gives you access to other clubs land such as Southwind Outdoors in Arkansas. I was considering Southwind for duck hunting last year, they have a nice set up but I would just have to travel too much. Of course there are a ton of small clubs, the majority are run by father and son and brother and cousin and have the good ole boy stuff going on. Not all, but a lot of them anyway. It just depends what you want really. Do you want to be involved and be more of a club or do you want to let someone make all the decisions for you and you are more or less funding their business and all your dues do not go to the leases? Everyone has their own wants, needs, and ideas about it all, just have to find a place that fits. [/QUOTE]
