Our first year we will be governed by the Narrow Way Hunting Club rules. The manager of the Narrow Way Hunting Club is dedicating a section of his club as the Hollis Tract for our members use only. The manager of the Narrow Way Hunting Club has as responsibility to the timber company to only bring in responsible members. Therefore, he asked that we abide by his club’s rules for the first year. This is his first year leasing this land and he is in the process of having a biologist determine the deer herd. Until he can determine the health of the deer herd, he doesn’t want to harvest does. However, he is willing to work with us if we have a few young hunters that has never shot a deer by providing doe tags.
The club located adjacent to us has a “six point” or better rule for their 12 hunters. Last year, they harvested 17 bucks that were six point or better. However, our club allows for bucks which must have a fork on one side of the horns. Killing a spike will result in a fine 1st offense $50, 2nd offense $100, 3rd offense expulsion.
The Hollis Hunting Club reserves the right to add rules in addition to the Narrow Way Hunting Clubs rules as needed. The following are the Narrow Way Hunting Club rules for 2013-2014 year.
