Interest | Deer hunter confidence of a good deer hunting experience: The real confidence that the deer hunter has that he will have a good deer hunt is that first we are whitetail deer hunters ourselves and know what it takes to have a good self guided hunt. Second, is that we want our members to renew their membership. We fully recognize the only reason anyone will renew their membership is if they have a good deer hunt they will come back - that is what we are after and that is our motivation. Our leases will stand for their own value. The distinction of this approach is that we are a business not a hunting club. As a business, a customer service attitude is required for success. In a club interpersonal relationship predominate. While we will be friendly to all and support each deer hunter we will not become friendly to the point any one hunter would believe he has an "inside" edge. We further have a written, within our administrative section, prohibition against gratuities. No one receives any preferential treatment over another. While some may come to see our extra effort provided to the first year member that we describe as a "jump start" as preferential, all who enter the Association receive that same jump start in terms of getting them to a lease that has proven its potential. Proof our our commitment to our hunters are the many pictures and letters in the testimonial section and elsewhere. We take great pride in our hunters willingness to send in such pictures and hunt accounts. Each one counts as feedback we do provide what the do it yourself hunter seeks. For them to do so is recognition it takes more than money to make all things work well. As we are not at the point of harvest it is great testimony that so many hunters seek to return some of what we work so hard to provide to them. We very much appreciate each and every one of them.
Stands & BlindsIn terms of deer hunting the central mid-west by far the most successful hunting method for those Association dedicated deer hunters that have the most recurring success is the tree stand hunter. All types of deer stands from lock-ons, climbers, ladder and such are authorized by both state and Association regulations to include screw in steps. The only tree stand we prohibit are nail in 2x4 and plywood stands. Our deer hunters may hang as many stands as they like and as early before the season as they have time. Stands are placed at the hunter's risk of loss and while not common we are sure a stand or two are stolen occasionally. And, of course, use of a safety harness is mandatory. Trimming back branches and removal of brush for shooting lanes is permissible, however no trees may be cut down and no chains saws brought onto Association lease land. Any limb to cut with a hand saw is fine. Ground blinds both natural and manmade may be used. If establishing a natural blind preference to existing deadfall is recommended to support landowner relations.
