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) 4.5 years old or older; (2) at least 8 points; (3)
inside spread of at least 16 inches. The fine for any buck
not meeting all above criteria is $2,000
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 more then three Mature Bucks total
may be harvested per Membership with no more then two from
one of the two counties in which our club porperty stretches.
Kinney and ValVerde. The third must be harvested in the opposite
county from which the first two bucks were taken. NOTE:
Button bucks will be considered as one of your bucks if you
make the mistake thinking he is a she. There is a $4,000
fine per Buck for more then 3 bucks harvested per membership
OR for each buck harvested over your designated
allowance for Membership. Please review Membership Limits.
3. Any Buck harvested by a Guest/Associate
Member is counted as being harvested by the Member who invited
the Guest/Associate Member. Members are held accountable for
all fines incurred by their Guest/Associate Member.
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 not designated by Membership
allowance. ie. Buck and Doe
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 a $250 Guest fee 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. The $250 Guest Fee is due prior
to the guest's hunting trip. Failure to give proper notification
or payment of Guest Fee may result in Membership being revoked
for that particular member entertaining a guest.
Guests must sign the Waiver of Liability Form provided ,
as Members are required, 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 are the property of
the Cajunland Outfitters Hunting
Club, 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
All types of vehicles will be allowed onto the property to
get to and from the hunting camp and stand locations. In addition,
any two or four wheel vehicles will be allowed to retrieve
game, but ask that you take exceptional care of the affect
these vehicles have to the property.
Miscellaneous
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.
