Nice to not have to knock on doors. You know you have a place to hunt that is safe. The staff is very helpful and great to work with to get you on the right farm for what you want to hunt.

I have been a memeber for 15 years and it was the best decision I ever made when it came to hunting and fishing

Great club good land love the reservation system very easy to use

A decent club with lots of properties to choose from. Heres a few comments and suggestions for improvement: 1) The required game reports (after each hunt, a report is required before another reservation can be made) cannot be relied upon and should be eliminated. A hunter has a huge incentive to under report to deter other members from hunting a farm that he has found to be good. 2) Some of the rules, especially for the fishing pits, are very lengthy, convoluted, and intimidating. Simplify -- its not really that hard. 3) Many properties are not posted properly. 4) Many of the maps need updating. 5) Can the paper notebook system. 6) Develop an updated reservation system. 7) Some e-mails I received (to all members, not me personally) had a very negative almost threatening tone. I understand the need to communicate issues to members and let them know the rules, but...lighten up!

Is a great club glad I am a memeber

Great hunting club to be a memeber of.

Terrible company to work for! The owner is not a hunter and does not know what good land is. Terrible business owner and terrible to his employees. The owners niece signs the leases and has never hunted a day in her life. The land that they do get is not good due to the fact that they won’t pay anything to the actual landowners. Go elsewhere if your looking to join a hunting club like this!!

I was a member for a couple of years. my experience was far different from the reviews below. its not perfect by any means, but I never had to compete with quad runners, or other hunters setting up next to me. the units that I hunted had tons of turkey and great deer.I agree that there is a lot of human use of the land, but the deer and turkeys are used to it, and change patterns just like on any land.

Agreed, better to lease private land. This land is over used and if you want to hunt whitetailed deer consider that the day before you plan to hunt, 10 guys on 10 quad runners may have driven through the bedding areas, feeding areas and shot every legal deer they saw, or just shot up the place. I experienced this on several of my hunts. I walked away and never looked back. They are quick to charge you more if you wanted to hunt more than a few days a year, they post the land you reserve for all other members to see and if you have a record of being successful, you might have groups of people who do not want to scout themselves, reserving the land you have weeks ahead of time for the week before you want to hunt that land and run it over so badly you wont see any deer, instead tons of quad runner tracks and trash left behind. Just like hunting conservation land really. If you put up a deer stand a week in advance, you might find it has been hunted already or they put up a deer stand 20 feet from your stand location. My point is its not so different from hunting public land afterall, it just costs money to hunt it. That does not mean it has not been over hunted the weeks and days before you want to give it a try. Why bother with lands like that? Better to lease private land from a land owner and heck they might even help you grow a food plot. Thats not going to happen in this so called hunting club.

I Was a member for 4 years, exclusively for archery. I Had numerous issues with their system and the way they handle issues. For starters the owner is not a hunter and from my knowledge not a very good business man. They pay the property owners per use which amounts to squat, so most of the good tracts are taken by local outfitters.I had numerous issues with this group. My biggest issue occurred in the 2010 season when two of us Were hunting a tract @ 280acres in nodaway mo for two weeks prior to gun season, had it reserved per their system up till the Friday before gun started. Home being 17 hours away we were not backing off until we put a hole in something or the season ran out on us, meaning we were hunting fri am and pm. Apparently the office had tried contacting me on my cell phone, which had no signal to tell us the party of 7 that reserved the tract beginning on sat opening day of gun needed to access the property to set stands for the opening day hunt. Not able to reach me the HSP officials decided it would be a good idea to allow these guys to walk around hanging stands while other members were actively hunting.Thats right, the last sentence should open up a whole new thread.Anyway, these mfrs pulled in and parked their two trucks behind our truck and went to doing what these idiots do best thatonly spend one week a year in the woods, mucking it up for the rest of us. The 7 gun hunters knew we were there, the office knewwe were there and worst of all, both parties took part in a seriously dangerous and unethical decision. If they had wanted to access the property prior to the season then they should have reserved it. Lucky for them by the time I got out of thethe tree and back to the truck I was too pissed and too tired to deflate all 8 tires. I drive 17 hours to enjoy myself not tear up other peoples stuff. Hindsight huhAnyway, I signed up to gain legal access to Midwest land and to archery hunt that land safely not be endangered by my very club.So in my opinion they are a joke due to the decisions that affected my time in the woods. If you are a serious ethical hunter, you may want to consider something else, if your not, perhaps you think your money is greener than mine or since you use a gun you are more deserving of the land than a man with a bow youll fit right in and make plenty of friends.

Ive been an HSP member since 2003. Love it.Not all the clubs private land leases are suited for every kind of hunting. Thats why they have so many to choose from. Yes, some get a lot of member pressure but far more get next to none. A simple review of past member reviews on the member reservation website will show you which ones better suit your preferences. In my experience its not other HSP members or the clubs management who should get the blame for an unpleasant experience. They have no control over locals activities on surrounding land or trespassers. They are also not responsible for anyones lack of hunting skills.Ive hunted public land and leased my own off and on through the years. Only thing Ill go on public land for anymore is to hike, pick mushrooms or occasionally fish.

Worst hunting organization.
