Cool pics!

 

does anyone know how to join a club?

Clubs often look for more members.  Check out some in your area or areas you'd like to hunt.

Indian Mills with 10 for the week.

Last few clubs shot mostly mature animals.. way to many dinks taken on the rest.. Years ago their was a club in Sussex County called the Longcoors. Every buck in the group was a 120 or better they were selective. I’m sure a lot of doe hit the ground this year as well during drives with some clubs. Can’t get big if we keep following brown and down rules.. just my opinion.

save the yearling bucks and shoot a doe on doe day instead..

This photo affects me differently than the others do....

I saw it last night n didn’t comment....I saw it again this AM n guna add my 2 cents
 

I think they could have come up with a more classy way to honor their harvest for their 100th anniversary. 
 

to lay deer on the ground in the shape of a number seems a bit disrespectful to the animals and numbers of the harvest is not what it is all about

other club pics show a traditional, orderly, meatpole style photo, to honor their quarry.......hanging high above the average height a man stands, somewhat symbolic to respect the animals as they maybe ascend to a higher ground.....Alpha n Interboro miss that mark!

Sorry I don’t see it your way. It’s all about the numbers to the clubs. 
I also don’t see how a meat poll is more respectful than the ground. 
Anyway it’s not an argument, you feel the way you feel, as do I and there is no changing it

Guys can we respect the clubs so they will comtinue each year posting pics and totals. Not every pic is going to be to everyones liking. But i think we can all agree we like to see pics of the meatpole even if some display their kills differently.

Tradition with hunters going back 100 years or more. I live as far north as you can go in jersey and only ever heard of these southern clubs through this site. So it's really something to see pictures firsthand. Wow ! 

[Devil Horns]

Great thread. Love seeing these pics. I've never hunted with a club but have a lot of friends that do. Looks like a fun week.

Being a trophy hunter and sometimes frowning upon guys taking young bucks I still think its awesome to see traditions holding strong.  Seeing that many deer on a meatpole seems like a lot of deer but most guys shoot more deer per person throughout the year but its just not all in one week.  Congrats to all the clubs.  Im kind of jealous being a lone hunter, hunting with a group with strong traditions looks like a lot of fun!
