Need ideas on helping manage deer club

[Reggoh]

Suggested Rules if I was starting a club:

Members allowed 1 trophy buck and 2 cull bucks PER YEAR!
Trophy - Defined as 9 Point or more MUST BE 4 1/2 years old
Culls - Defined as 8 point or less MUST BE 2 1/2 years old
Does harvested in accordance with state limits or DMAP limits

Penalties would be if you break an age requirement on your bucks you LOSE YOUR TROPHY for the following year but are allowed your 2 cull bucks... 2nd offense - Removed from Club.

The reasoning for this is simple - Keep the buck population high and don't shoot really young bucks... if you see a 2 1/2 year old 10 point you let him walk... in 2 years he will probably be an awesome 10 point. If you see a 4 1/2 year old 6 point you get it off the property.

You break a rule and the following year one of those 5 1/2 year old 150" 10 point walks out... you'll think twice about breaking the rules again.

GUEST POLICY - Either NO GUESTS ALLOWED or Set a guest limit like 1 weekend guest pass per month but not on opening weekend and not for more than 3 consecutive days... You don't want 2 guys sharing a lease on 1 nickel.

We could bring guests on our lease. But guests had to shoot off members quota. Which was and still is 3 deer. Even had a couple guys split a membership before. But they were only allowed the 3 deer for that membership.
