Membership
A
limited number of upland memberships will be available each year.
The fee for this is will be $800 per year. This includes $600 in
bird costs at a 20% discount off our published prices to the public.
Upland Members have two choices for hunts. They can hunt any of the
fields for clean-up assuming they are not otherwise reserved. This
can be conducted on any of the four upland fields for birds that are
otherwise not booked by another party. We will not have any idea how
many birds remain in our fields after other hunts and the numbers
will likely vary.
There is no charge for these hunts. Nobody else will do scratch bird
hunts except our Upland Members. There will not be any time
guidelines (either morning or afternoon) and no minimum numbers of
hunters are required. Scratch hunts for Upland Members do not
require any advance registration. Just a simple call to the Preserve
Manager and go hunt. OR, call and reserve birds 24 hours in advance
and our preserve staff will have your field waiting.
Scratch hunts are subject to availability. But members will always
get priority, when booking a hunt. There are no guest fees for an
Upland Member. Upland members may also stay at DelMar’s Main Lodge
under the club’s terms and conditions. I hope that the Upland
Members also choose to participate in the planning and execution of
the overall operation. As a club, our members have a real voice in
the design and long-term direction of the upland hunting.
All member and guests are required to sign liability waiver. The
Upland Members will have a special Game Dinner planned during the
season.
Upland members may also use designated fields for dog training
purposes and can schedule these days just like a package hunt.
Anyone dog training must place there own birds. We will maintain
birds through the Upland season as well as the extended season (nine
months) that our training permit legally allows.
Memberships are limited to first-come, first-serve and numbers will
be limited. There is nothing like this in our area. With very
special benefits to the Upland Members, this unique arrangement will
be gone quickly and not likely to ever be open in the future. If you
are a serious upland hunter, please contact us soon since charter
memberships will never be available again.
Call Drew for more details and see if the upland program is right
for you.
