I left Ames this year (was on the club the previous 2 years) to join a different club for 3 reasons:
1 - Ames doesn't allow youth under 10 on the property, and my son was 8 (now 9).
2 - there are only 2 types of hunting allowed on the property - squirrel (prior to deer season opening) and deer hunting. I wanted to have something to do in January/February and possibly turkey season.
3 - There is no gun range on the property, and I wanted a place that I could go with my son and shoot rifles for practice, as all of my other spots and options have evaporated.
I was really toying with the idea of joining Ames until I read your post. I have 2 boys coming of age where they can hunt. Another consideration would be Chaney. I was able to hunt there this year as a visitor and liked what that place had to offer, for a cheaper price.
I can definitely understand your desire for a more family friendly club.
Out of curiosity, what club did you end up joining?
