Went out to the club to check on the boat. I saw a couple hundred Geese and over a thousand ducks and we are just starting to fill the ponds. Anyone else been out to any clubs. Location Salt Lake County West of the Airport.

I was a member of the Blackhawk back in the early eighties, it was a fun club. I'm happy to see that it still exists. How would you rate the S&J club?

 

[huntress]

I don't know anything about S&J .

I used to hunt SJ all the time (my buddy's dad was a member forever) Ever since around the time of the airport mitigation though, the club steadily began to suck. I hear there were issues with the owners fighting but can't really say, as it would all be heresay. Anyways, my buddy and I quit hunting it and his dad joined another club 2 years ago. The dues skyrocketed this year though and since his dad doesn't hunt enough to justify the cost, he didn't renew there or even join another. My buddy and I are both in college so we can't afford our own memberships but I doubt we'd buy them anyways. Public marshes have been fine for us. Back to the main point - even after losing some great land to the airport, SJ could be really good if the owners would manage it right but for whatever reason they don't so it's not.
