Rules and Regulations

2007-2008 Rules and Regulations

For the purposes of the rules below, the word "Member" may include all persons covered under a membership such as spouses and children. The word "Guest" applies to anyone not covered under the definition of membership as written in the club constitution.

Harvest Policies

1. A buck harvested must be a Mature Buck, i.e.; (1) over 5.5 years old; (2) at least 8 points; (3) inside spread of at least 16 inches. The fine for any buck not meeting all above criteria is $3,000 payable the day of harvest.

  • The only exceptions to this rule are Cull Bucks/Management Bucks.
  • Cull Bucks are defined as bucks designated to be taken out of the herd due to poor genetic trates. These bucks do not have to meet the requirements for a mature buck. If you are uncertain of what this means, please ask before going hunting. Pictures can be provided.

2. No matter what membership package you have selected, no more then two Mature Bucks total may be harvested per membership (member/spouse/children/guests) with the exception of any additional cull bucks that may present themselves for harvest. NOTE: Button bucks will be considered as one of your bucks if you make the mistake thinking he is a she. There is a $5,000 fine per Buck for more then 2 bucks harvested per membership OR for each buck harvested over your designated allowance for your particular membership package.

3. Any Buck harvested by guests/spouse/children is counted as being harvested by the member who invited the guest. Members are held accountable for all fines incurred by their guests.

4. The antlers from all Mature Bucks must be scored by one of the members or a taxidermist for club records. All necessary information and tools to score the buck will be provided at the camp. If a deer is taken to the taxidermist before it is scored, please have the taxidermist score the antlers and have the score reported back to one of the club officers for club records.

5. All does harvested must be mature does, no yearlings. It is necessary to make every effort to take a mature doe when harvesting these animals for management purposes.

6. All turkey harvested must be harvested within the guidelines of the Texas Parks and Wildlife turkey seasons and regulations, with one exception:

  • NO exclusive turkey hunting will be allowed during the Fall Turkey Season that coincides with Deer Season. You will be allowed to harvest a turkey while deer hunting in the fall if you wish, just as long as it’s legal to harvest at that time.

7. Dove hunting will be allowed during the month of September ONLY. No dove hunting will be allowed during Deer Season.

8. All deer, exotic animal, and turkey harvested must be photographed with the camera provided by the club. Also, each animal harvested must be recorded in the harvest data logbook.

Exotics

Many species of exotic animals roam the property at the ranch. When harvesting your exotic animal you must make every effort to ensure that you harvest a mature animal. There are no fines involved in taking imature exotic animals, but we have the ethical responsibility to keep a healthy heard of exotics on the property, a healthy herd would be a bonus for future hunting.

  • There is a $2,000 fine per Exotic Animal for more then 2 harvested per membership OR for each exotic animal harvested over your designated allowance for your particular membership package.

Guests

A guest is any person not covered under the definition of membership as written in the Club Constitution. Any time a guest carries a gun on the property, that guest is considered to be hunting.

ONE guest will be allowed per member at times designated below.

There will be no Guest fees associated with Cajunland Outfitters Hunting Club. You may bring guests with you to hunt only at times where there is room to accomodate the extra person at the camp. You must get approval from the Club President before scheduling any hunt with a Guest.

Guests are not allowed to hunt during opening weekends of archery or gun season. The ONLY exceptions will be made by the Club President and posted to the website.

Members must notify the club president before taking any guest hunting at any time. Failure to do so may result in the privilege being revoked for that particular member.

Guests must sign the Guest Sign-in sheet, and must sign the liability release form provided before any hunting is allowed.

Exceptions to the guest rules will only be made by the Club President and posted to the website.

Hunting

All Texas Parks and Wildlife Hunting Regulations must be followed at all times. NO EXECPTIONS!

Anyone under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times while hunting. Children 13-16 years of age may hunt alone only with a Texas State Permit allowing them to hunt legally by themselves. Additionally, children of any age may be required to be accompanied by an adult if they demonstrate unsafe hunting practices.

All stands on the property, including lock-on stands, ladder stands, tripod stands, and box stands will be the property of the Cajunland Outfitters Hunting Club or the Crider Ranch, and will be open to any member or guest for use. Stand assignments for any hunt will be decided upon by the members. If upon chance a stand assignment cannot be agreed upon, then members/guests will choose a stand number from “the hat”, and that will be their designated stand for that hunt.

Hunters must sign-in on the property map, and place a tag on your location, before hunting.

Vehicles

Vehicles will be allowed onto the property to get to the hunting camp. In addition, any two or four wheel vehicles will be allowed to travel to and from stand locations.
 
No vehicle traffic, except ATV's, will be allowed when roads are wet. NO EXCEPTIONS! If conditions are wet, then you travel to and from your stand location on foot or ATV.

Miscellaneous

All members and Guests are required to watch a deer management video prior to any hunting. This is required by the land owner and the Club President. All members must watch the video at least once per year.

Any member caught intentionally trying to deceive the Club in any manner (unreported deer, etc.) will immediately have their membership status reviewed by the Club President. The President may decide, at his discretion, to revoke Club membership or impose an appropriate fine or penalty.
 
A fine may be imposed by the Club President for any rule violation. The amount of the fine is left to the discretion of the Club President.

All rules are strictly enforced and apply to each member equally.
 
All outstanding fines must be paid in full before the member can hunt. Hunting without paying outstanding fines may result in additional fines, or even a revoked membership.
