Review

"Hunt Club Management Guide" is a must-read for anyone that enjoys hunting - either on their own land or with a club. Existing club members will gain valuable insight and information to help turn their club into a first rate hunt club. The color photos and easy to follow guidelines, make this book from J. Wayne Fears a source of invaluable information to the reader. -- Outdoor Guide, Fall 2003

Fears' expertise as a biologist and manager will make this book a great reference for years to come. -- Quality Whitetails, Volume 10, Issue 4

For good or for ill, hunt leases and hunt clubs are becoming an increasing fact of life. They offer the member-owner exclusive rights to prime hunting territory. Yet assembling a hunt club, writing rules and penning legal details and managing such an operation is fraught with potential difficulties. Fears addresses nearly all of them in this book. It can be used as a template for specialized hunt clubs and more generalized sportsmen's and rod and gun clubs. -- Jeffrey L. Frischkorn, The News Herald, September 3, 2003
