- During wet conditions travel into the property, transit and travel will be restricted to boat or foot traffic.

- Memberships may have up to 4 full time members. All members are to be designated as members.
- Hunting is limited to the blind location only, no jump shooting or chasing of game is allowed. Blind locations should allow for a 75 yard buffer between area boundaries.

- A member must have their “Blind Ring” hung 1 hour before legal hunting time to guarantee their use of the blind. If a member does not have their “Blind Ring” hung at 1 hour before legal hunting time, and after a 15 minute courtesy grace period, that blind is considered open and may be hunted by another member. If a member shows up and another member has taken their blind, they must choose another area. If any member abuses this grace privilege by continuously arriving late, the 15 minute grace period will be revoked. This privilege is intended for unforeseen circumstances that may arise in transit and not as an excuse for being tardy. Blind rings are to be removed when done hunting for the day.
- Both goose fields are subject to the same rules as the rest of the club. The small goose field is open to all members on a first come basis. The large Goose field is not subject to the “Blind Ring” rules as it is leased on day to day terms. The cost to hunt the big goose field is $100.00 per gun per day for members, and $150.00 for guests and is limited to a maximum of six hunters per day.
