A dumb question about hunting lease membership

Post by kc45 » Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:07 pm

It seems that most (all?) hunting leases allow a member to bring a guest.
Is there a limit to number of time a person can come as guest?
The reason I'm asking is that if a member can bring a guest each time then why can't two people get together and buy one membership and then bring the second person as guest?

The lease I am now allows one guest a trip and it doesn't matter how many times that person comes. I would say you could split a membership but remember theres only one key and that "splitter" can only go when you're there, since you're the key holder. If not he is trespassing. No sharing of keys is allowed. Also most leases do not allow guests the first weekends of each hunt, and you have to split bag limits.

There are many provisions in just about all leases to prevent just that.
Guest fees
Guest dates
#of guest days
same guest limited to a couple days
etc

Each lease sets their own guidelines for such matters. There's no set-in-stone rule all leases follow. Guest policy is one of the many things you check out when considering which lease to join, not only so you know what's allowed for your own guests, but in case you see other members violating the rules.

Some leases allow unlimited one at a time, some allow none, some charge per day and limit to no more then 3 times a year per person, most dont allow guests first days before or first days of an actual season. All different for different leases.

Reason for this is..... Some people split a lease price with someone. Then they come up as a guest every time and essentually its two people splitting a lease.

Guest days and fees seem to be a sticking point with a lot of people. I personally don't see what the problem is. A membership is allowed a certain amount of game per year no matter who shoots it or not. Also the guest has to be accompanied by the member and has to hunt the members stands so he or she is not encroaching on another members area. Most clubs you join allow you to bring your wife or your kids that are underage,but what about the guy who's wife doesn't care about hunting and kids that are grown and too busy,but they may have an elderly father or uncle who are on a fixed income that would love to come to camp and spend quality time at hunting camp ? The best club I ever belonged to let you bring any family member at any time you wanted but whatever was killed came off your membership. The only downside is turkey season when your liscence only allows you two birds per season.
