Anyone who has ever hunted with others on a lease knows full well how some guys manage to get thrown off their lease. With the start of gun season just a few weeks away, here again is my list of things to do or say that can bring your new lease membership to a premature end. My reasons for each one will be explained as feedback dictates.
And please, feel free to add your own for the benefit of those who need to hear them.
1. "Can I bring a friend and how many deer can he shoot?"
2. "Work days? I work on weekends."
3. "I have a (insert anything that can be used at the lease) but it's broken."
4. "I only take head shots with my 7mm mag."
5. "If you pick up some (whatever), I'll pay you back."
6. "I can't clean deer because the sight of blood makes me pass out."
7. "My mom never taught me how to cook."
8. "Practice? Heck, I can shoot a fly off a frogs butt at 200 yeards."
9. "Guys, I really wish I could stay around to help clean up but my wife is expecting me back."
10. "I've tried marriage three times and it just isn't for me."
"Some people will never like you because your spirit irritates their demons."

Can I bring a friend? He'll just sit in the stand but won't shoot anything.
Yeah, right.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Yeah, right. How true. All new lease members should consider themselves as being an "unknown" and "on probation". Why the heck are you asking to bring a friend when we're not even sure we're going to take a liking to you?

You mean I was supposed to set up my own stands? Yes, and let's not forget those who ask how many stands they can setup and hunt. Always wait and keep your mouth shut until you are told ALL the rules, and then think before asking anything else. And NEVER consider questioning any rule during your first three years on the lease.

I know I already shot my buck, but I don't think I can hold back if a monster shows up!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I know I already shot my buck, but I don't think I can hold back if a monster shows up! Another good one. Also, an often unwritten rule that applies to everyone is that you should consider your tag spent on any deer that is recovered too late for consumption. And God forbid should the buzzards find that buck that you said you missed, laying less than 50 yards from your stand or feeder. It's always best to ask for help in looking for it, rather then being lazy and heading for the house. And after two shots and misses, it's time to hang it up for the season. Besides, if you practice until you can't miss, you'll never have to worry about this one.

"Oh, no thanks. Alcohol is a tool of the devil." While alcohol and deer leases can make for a good mix, it's not good when you can't drive yourself to the lease because of too many DWI's.

Just telling you what would get a person not invited back to the places I hunt.
Also:
"If you guys wouldn't mind turning the music off at 10:00, I'd like to hit the hay early."

10. "I've tried marriage three times and it just isn't for me."
still wondering what this has to do with a hunting lease? We kicked a guy off our spot last year for "Its just beer bottles whats the big deal" He spent the next half a day walking the woods around camp finding all the trash he had thrown around

Anyone who has ever hunted with others on a lease knows full well how some guys manage to get thrown off their lease. With the start of gun season just a few weeks away, here again is my list of things to do or say that can bring your new lease membership to a premature end. My reasons for each one will be explained as feedback dictates.
And please, feel free to add your own for the benefit of those who need to hear them.
1. "Can I bring a friend and how many deer can he shoot?"
2. "Work days? I work on weekends."
3. "I have a (insert anything that can be used at the lease) but it's broken."
4. "I only take head shots with my 7mm mag."
5. "If you pick up some (whatever), I'll pay you back."
6. "I can't clean deer because the sight of blood makes me pass out."
7. "My mom never taught me how to cook."
8. "Practice? Heck, I can shoot a fly off a frogs butt at 200 yeards."
9. "Guys, I really wish I could stay around to help clean up but my wife is expecting me back."
10. "I've tried marriage three times and it just isn't for me." Explain those... lol... I don't think I could be on your lease...

My reasons for each one will be explained as feedback dictates. And please, feel free to add your own for the benefit of those who need to hear them. 1. "Can I bring a friend and how many deer can he shoot?" We have rules that establish friends and family rules. They hunt with you and can shoot as many culls and does so long as they can tag them. No issue2. "Work days? I work on weekends." We have a group of 5 on our place that work weekends. No issue3. "I have a (insert anything that can be used at the lease) but it's broken." Tell em to bring it and we will fix it4. "I only take head shots with my 7mm mag." You lose it, it is your deer5. "If you pick up some (whatever), I'll pay you back." We do this all the time6. "I can't clean deer because the sight of blood makes me pass out." I have no issue cleaning deer for women and kids. If you are a man and hunt, deal with it7. "My mom never taught me how to cook." Buy the food and we can make a deal8. "Practice? Heck, I can shoot a fly off a frogs butt at 200 yeards." Refer to the Head shot comment9. "Guys, I really wish I could stay around to help clean up but my wife is expecting me back." I understand, sometimes my wife wants me back too. 10. "I've tried marriage three times and it just isn't for me." Usually makes for good stories around the campfire

Also:
"If you guys wouldn't mind turning the music off at 10:00, I'd like to hit the hay early." On the flip side, nothing can encourage your buddies to hit the sack a little earlier than greeting them with a buck on your ATV rack as they're dragging themselves out of their morning sack.

We run a pretty laid camp and it works well. That said you're expected to be a responsible and respectful adult. Obnoxious drunks, unsafe weapons handling (especially if drunk), and general stupidity will get you an escort to the gate.
