Well things are a lot different in Alabama and Mississippi on this subject compared to Texas. Over there a guest can hunt alone and can shoot anything he or she wants as long as it’s legal or not against the club rules. And before anyone says well you’ll
Kill all the deer if everyone is allowed to do that.. well they been doing that for decades over there in those states and they haven’t put a dent in the population. If anything there more now than ever.
I know I’ll be the lone view on this but it’s my .2 cents for what it’s worth.

I wouldn't give up hunting this property unless something better came up in the same price range.
I'm not overly pushing the issue with the lease boss or land owner, the lease boss just asked when we paid our first payment March 1, if there was anything we would like to see changed, and this was my suggestion based on my opinion. It probably will never change on this place and I will live with it and obey the rules and most likely won't bring up the issue again as it seems the land owner is pretty set on it and I do not want to cause any problems with the friends we have made here.
If I have the extra $ and Land owner, lease boss, and other members approve, when another spot opens up I will pay for it.
I just see the situation a little different than others. our "guest hunters" are ONLY IMMEDIATELY FAMILY.
Not bring a buddy or client, or uncle bob...
My wife and boys are experienced hunters, we discuss before each hunt what can and can't be shot, based off game cam surveys. Before the season starts we have always decided who will be taking the trophys, culls, and doe. We have cell phone communication as well as 2 way radios that allow constant contact during hunts.
This past season I never drew my bow or shouldered my rifle. We decided I would be taking the 1 trophy exotic buck we are allowed per season and the opportunity never came. My youngest got the trophy whitetail, my wife got the whitetail cull, and my youngest son got the exotic doe and whitetail doe. Which was all discussed before the season started.
We havent always put 2 of us in each stand every hunt when we hunted where this was allowed. Sometimes 1 or more of us sit out hunts, sleep in, stay in camp and cook, wind is bad for a stand especially during bow season, already killed their animal ect....
I have this lease right now for spending time with my boys ages 14 and 16. I've got only a short time while they still live at home and we are able to do things like this together on a regular basis.
The way I see it if I am allowed to hunt both of my stands at the same time it makes more use of the short time we do have to hunt on a lease that's 6 hours away juggling work schedules, school schedules, and with deer season and football season going on at the same time and two boys playing high school football and every other sport. Time and money are always limiting factors.so it would be nice to take advantage of all time available to increase the chances everyone has a successful season.
Also having 2 per stand helps with pig control.
I am thankful for all the input here and glad to see that this rule is pretty common elsewhere. It is just taking some time to adjust to it being that the last two leases I hunted allowed it.

This statement changes things IMO. I know lease rules are all over the place these days, but you are stating that your “guest” are actually immediate family, not friends, cousins, clients ect...your wife and kids should be able to hunt alone only off your lease spots allotted animals IMO. It stops there 100% though. If you were to bring, say your Dad or brother, they would need to be accompanied and still hunt off your allotted animals. This is exactly how our place is now and we don’t have any issues.
