Butte City Hunting Club - Rules and Regulations
Effective as of March 2, 2013
Club Rule #1
Rules apply in all areas and violations of rules per our by-laws will be sufficient cause for cancellation of membership. Membership suspension or termination after September 1 mandates complete forfeiture of membership dues.
All members are expected to demonstrate sportsmanlike conduct at all times. This specifically is in regards to language, high shooting, early or late shooting, safe shooting, game retrieval, blind manners, and courtesy towards other hunters, members, and club guests.
Observe standard game rules. Any game rule violation will be considered a violation of BCHC Club Rule #1. This is Rule #1 for a reason. Don’t mess this one up.
Non-Interference with Club and/or Farming Operations
Anyone, unless written permission has been obtained from the club manager, found tampering with water control boards or valves, or any club property, will be immediately ejected from the club without refund.
Each member or member's guest will be held responsible and liable for any damage to property, livestock, or other hunters while using the property. Driving automobiles, trucks, tractors, etc., on farm roads will not be permitted unless authorization has been obtained from the club manager.
No member of this club is to contact the landowner, rancher, or farmer of an area for any reason. If there is any problem, you must see the club manager and work it out. No member of the club shall trespass on unharvested and planted fields or interfere with the harvesting of crops in any manner. Park in designated areas only.
Positively no shooting around pasteurized livestock. No solid projectile loads (rifle, pistol, or shotgun slugs) are permitted anywhere on BCHC property.
Membership and Blind Assignments
You are to hunt from your blind only, unless invited by another blind member. Each seat in any blind is sold to an individual only. A blind seat may not be "resold", "leased", or "sublet".
If the club becomes aware of anyone charging for the use of their or their blind partner’s seat(s), such individual’s membership shall be canceled immediately. Members will not be permitted to hunt under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Game laws must be observed. Violators may be expelled immediately. No disposable decoys are permitted, and all blind materials must be removed from fields no later than 14 days after the season closes.
Guest Privileges
