I got kicked out of a group this year. I wanted to make my exit but couldn't think of a way to do it gracefully. A family had 3 good stands on their land and nobody was hunting. I started hunting the ground, shot some deer, the rest of the family decides they want to hunt. I'm not family, I'm out. It's better this way. Anyone else ever get the boot? Or have to give someone the boot? Bet that's fun too.

Can't argue with family. It doesn't end well.
Send a nice card thanking them for the opportunity.
Everyone is my friend during hunting season. Chores are year round and usually lonely. Maybe send a note when chores are needed in trade for access.

No group that would accept me in the first place would ever kick me out.

Nope. I hunt on my best friends farm, we went to school and grew up together, and he tells me I have a lifetime welcome. It's 1 mile from my house and I have some of the best hunting in the state! I'm more fortunate than most.

Property gets sold all the time, property gets too crowded, or you shoot a big one and someone doesn't like it. Say "thank you for all the hunts I've enjoyed" & move on.

The Fugg em... Move on.... Dont give em the time of day for any satisfaction in their minds. This. You were looking for a place to hunt when you found that one. So go find someplace else. Our elk hunting group has devolved from a core group of 10 to 2 with a bunch of add-on’s most years. I didn’t go last season and may say fugg it this year, too. No ninnies or Karen’s for me.

Nobody hates a successful deer hunter like a deer hunter.... I have been slightly worried about getting kicked off mine because I have killed the biggest and most bucks the last 2 years. Then again few around here will pony up the cash to be in the club so I am semi safe lol.

After several successful seasons the last of which I took a nice buck the group that I had been hunting with for 25yrs. decided that they didn't want "strangers shooting all the deer" and I was out of the group. I moved on to other places and opportunities and never hear from them again nor did I ever contact them.

Got the boot on two clubs years ago. First one, I shot a nice buck with the bow, then one with black powder, then a nice one during the gun season.(limit 4) "Said i was hunting too close to the presidents' area". Second one, I couldn't make the work weekend, so I offered to do some electrical work at the camp and it was agreed on. After doing the work, they booted me and said it was not enough. Oh Well!

Nobody hates a successful deer hunter like a lower skilled set deer hunter.... Fixt . But your original post applies big time also in a all encompassing way.

And when someone consistently kills big deer every year.
The elmers no matter what age they will attribute it to luck amongst themselves to offset the feelings that they suck at hunting and the jealousy.

I have never found anyone who'd let me into their group.

You giys should listen to the whining in an arrowhead hunting club. Main guy aka The Landowner aka Eeyore....mopes around toe kicking stones....”I never find nuffins” I pick up a 5” Benton blade 10 feet from where he stood and opened a Slim Jim and ate it. Then gets pissy and kicks the two rockstars off the property.
