Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Elk's Lodge or Moose Lodge?

Dont know about the Elks or Moose but maybe starting a local Deer Club would be a good idea. You could invite the local women down advertising it as a place to go to blow a few bucks.

i've been a moose member for almost 40 years. the moose is a really good organization. they sponsor an old folks home and a youth boarding school. both highly respected and well run. the moose is pretty working class most places. usually a nice little club with a kitchen. sort of a civilian version of the legion. i have been in them all over the country and always felt welcome. i am not what you would call a regular because i do not drink and drive, but i go for dinner once in a while.

the elks is a little higher class. many have golf courses associated with them and are similiar to a country club. my dad was an officer in both the moose and the elks and i never warmed to the elks. a little too hoity toity from what i saw. but i have only been in 2 or 3.

Elks clubs tend to focus their civic and charitable efforts towards veterans and kids. Moose clubs focus on kids and community. Both are worthy organizations to belong to when seeking service to community/others other than cheap drinks and social atmosphere.

Cousin is a member of the Moose. If your into listening to local businessman talk about how much money they have while $ hitfaced on a Tuesday afternoon the Moose is for you from what i've seen. Only reason hes a member is because he has a small business and its the spot for the good ol boys club.
