HAYMARSH HUNTING CLUB RULES

TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THEIR OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE, WE ASK THAT ALL
MEMBERS AND THEIR GUESTS BE AWARE OF THESE GUIDELINES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
RULES MAY LEAD TO AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF HUNTING AND/OR SHOOTING PRIVILEGES!

Each member and guest is to conduct themselves in a safe, courteous and sportsmanlike manner.

NO alcoholic beverages may be used before or during a hunt!  
Even if you are not aware of this rule and are found consuming an alcoholic beverage, you will be asked to case your gun and leave the field.

Each hunter must meet all of the State of Michigan’s hunting requirements.

A waiver must be signed by each member and guest before their first hunt.  Thereafter, each member and guest shall sign a new waiver yearly.

All members and guests are required to visibly wear the legally defined minimum of “Hunter’s Blaze Orange.”

All guests must adhere to using nontoxic ammunition when hunting at Haymarsh (this excludes 5-stand). If you do not have any nontoxic, lead-free ammunition, Haymarsh will have steel shot available for purchase.

It is imperative that we stay within the boundaries of the preserve.  When in doubt, don’t go! It is legal to retrieve your dog from posted property, but you must leave your gun on Haymarsh property.

Guests must be accompanied by a club member – a maximum of two guests per member unless other arrangements are made with Haymarsh management before the hunt.

Members and guests must comply with all requests and instructions of Haymarsh representatives.

Cash, check or credit card payment is expected before the hunt, unless prior arrangements are made.

All birds leaving the premises must be tagged with a facsimile of a State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources Official Shipping Tag.

Fields will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.  It would be wise to make reservations several days in advance, especially for weekends and holidays.

We will release birds prior to your hunt.  If you wish to release your own birds, they may be picked up at the pole barn.
