Dues entitle regular members to unlimited free personal use of all club properties. Fees are charged for all nondependent guests. On about one-half of all club land (fee land), a small, daily fee is required for dependents and floating guests. Use of standard land (non-fee land) is always free for members with a small daily fee for dependents -- except for those few members who have a restricted membership that requires them to pay fees for all land. Fee land is no better than other land. The fact that a fee is charged merely reflects how the landowner is compensated.

All active members are permitted to take an unlimited number of their dependents (spouse and dependent children) to club land on an unlimited number of days. Dependents must always be accompanied by a member. Nondependent guests may visit club land for a maximum of three days in any 12-month period. A maximum of two nondependent guests may be included on any reservation, except those for firearms deer and turkey hunting, when only one guest per reservation is permitted. Members are allowed to take guests any time, for any type of hunting, including season openers.

Land can only be visited if reserved. All members receive mapbooks with detailed, in-depth descriptions of the club’s farms. Each farm is treated individually, receiving full-page treatment that includes geographic location, size, boundaries, maps, driving directions and the type and quality of hunting and fishing habitat. Not to mention our online system that includes all of that plus detailed aerial photos with GPS coordinates (Click here for an example). When you make your reservation, you will be assured of the exclusive use of your choice of land for the day. Members are allowed to reserve upland bird and waterfowl hunting land as many as 10 days in advance. Turkey hunting land may be reserved 30 days in advance. The club begins accepting applications for deer hunting reservations in the summer.

No, you are not confined to one area at one pre-selected time. Think of the reservation system like reserving a hotel. Unlimited reservations on any farm (within the Clubs rules). Our state-of-the-art online reservation system is available 24/7/365 from any computer that has access to the internet, all you have to have is your user ID and password. If you do not have access to a computer at the time you are welcome to call us and make a reservation by telephone anytime Monday - Friday 8:30AM-4:30PM Central Time.

No. Every member has the same equal rights to reserve land either by telephone or by use of our state-of-the-art reservation system, on a first-come, first-served basis

No, the reservation system has time window restrictions and can be further customized by the club manager for specific hunting season data. We currently do special sign ups for all members for certain high-use seasons like firearm deer, where the club members will express their interest in land and times mid-year, so everybody knows where they are going well before-hand. Plus, this gives the club time to react to find more land if necessary.

No. It is yours exclusively in your reservation. Other members may join your reservation only with your prior permission. It is common for members to become friends and start hunting together.

As many days as you want (not to exceed 10 days), but only if you will be hunting on the reserved property all of those days. If you limit out or decide not to hunt on the property on any day that you had it reserved, you are expected to call the office and free up the property for other members to hunt.

Harvest reports -- available only to members -- are an invaluable resource. These reports allow savvy hunters and anglers to pick the best farms available for the type of game they pursue -- and prevent disappointing trips to inappropriate land. After using club land, all members are required to report within two days the amount and type of game observed and harvested, as well as the condition of the property. Our most successful hunters use the reports extensively and are rarely disappointed with their land selection.

Emergency Service Available-Members can call our toll-free special emergency telephone number whenever assistance is needed to locate land, report any trespassers, deal with last-minute changes, or handle road emergencies. This number is monitored by management whenever the office is closed, so you can always get in contact with HSP.

No, the 100-200 acres is a minimum average acreage standard the club has set to ensure there is enough land available for all active members even if every single member happened to make a reservation on the exact same day (that has never happened). If there ever is a case where a property that you wanted was already reserved for the day you would be able to find a comparable piece of land in a driving range that you specify.

It is possible. We typically lease recreation rights to working farmland. The landowner makes a living from his land and has to work it at his schedule. Use it to your advantage! A landowner can sometimes tell you the best place to set up to hunt and possibly where and when the animals travel on different pieces of land. Always respect the Landowners rights and property. Remember, you are representing the Club while you are using that property.

Yes, you can openly and publicly advertise your Membership for sale if you no longer want or need it. This has always been our policy. We don't believe it is fair to members if they invest their money in a membership, but are prohibited from advertising and selling it. While members often sell memberships to people who were going to buy one from the club, we aren't going to penalize our members because we are greedy and want to block out fair competition. If a member wants to put forth an effort to recover their investment, we support them. Members may not advertise selling their membership on any official HSP websites or social platforms. For example, you are welcome to put your membership up for sale on your own personal Facebook profile, but you may not post it for sale on the HSP Facebook page.

Yes, BUT rules can only be changed by a majority of voting members. If you join a club knowing the rules are compatible with your plans and needs, it would be very unfair to you if the rules could be changed by a unilateral management decision without your participation in the vote. HSP has always yielded its rule making power to the members, and taken a position that whatever the majority of members want, they shall have. Only Members can make and change rules, management is responsible for enforcing compliance of the rules voted in by members, and sets the prices to compensate for the financial impact rule changes have on club finances.

Maybe, HSP will not accept any person for membership if; they are a convicted felon, they have been found guilty of serious or multiple wildlife violations, they are not a safe, ethical hunter or angler. The member, not his money, is our first concern! Our thorough screening process protects you from being in a club with unsavory characters.

Most all of our members practice Quality Deer Management, some farms even have restrictions on size of deer. We do however support a first time hunter in the decision to harvest smaller game than experienced hunters would harvest, we want youth and first-timers to have a good time and be excited about hunting. Everyone has to start somewhere!
