2016 ASSOCIATE & DAY GUEST PASS REGULATION

1. Associate and day guest pass memberships are offered in three categories, 1) DeerAssociate, Deer day guest pass, 2)Quail Associate, Quail day guest pass, and 3)Turkeyday guest pass. These are separate classes of membership and can not be used forcrossing species of hunting other than Turkey. An example is a member with QuailAssociate or Quail day guest pass could not hunt deer; he would have to have a DeerAssociate or Deer day guest pass also. Both Quail and Deer Associate memberships mayhunt Turkey.

2. Quail Associate or Quail day guest pass memberships permit a club member to take oneguest daily for the purpose of upland bird hunting, including quail, pheasant, dove, andturkey. Deer Associate or Deer day guest pass memberships permit a club member to takeone guest daily for the purpose of hunting deer and turkey.

3. Associate memberships and day guest passes are not valid on the opening two days of theseason, i.e., Oklahoma-Kansas-Texas quail, spring turkey, fall turkey, dove, deer-gun, deer-muzzle loading or deer-bow season Club members may not apply for opening seasondrawing using the associate membership or day guest pass.

4. Bookings for associate guests or guest pass guests are treated in the same manner as aregular membership. The club member must book using member name for the guest andsign out for that guest. The guest name must be provided on the Hunt Report. All gameharvested by the guest shall be reported on the website where the booking was made. Aguest booked on a lease occupies one slot available for hunters on that lease. Cancellation of prior bookings shall be required in the same manner as club member.

5. The club member shall be responsible for the guest and the behavior of that guest at alltimes they are on the lease. The club member shall accompany the guest at all times theguest is on the lease. Club rules apply to all guests.

6. Quail/Deer Associate memberships shall not be used by the same guest more than 4hunting days. The intention of the Associate membership was not to replace a full huntingclub membership with an Associate membership. The use by the same guest more than 4hunting days shall be determined to be an abuse of the purpose of the Associatemembership. If it is determined that abuses of this purpose occur, a renewal of suchprivileges will not be extended.

7. Each year, prior to making available the sale of Associate/Day Guest Pass memberships,the ESC board of directors shall determine the cost and quantity of the memberships. TheESC board of directors shall approve the applicants for the membership.

Associate Membership/Guest Pass Purpose Statement

The ESC established the Associate Membership, Deer Associate Membership , and GuestPasses to allow a limited number of Club members to take a guest for the purpose of uplandbird hunting, turkey and deer hunting. Club members should understand that the huntingneeds of the full club are primary to the extent that rules violations or abuses ofAssociate/Guest pass privileges will not be tolerated and that renewal of such privileges arenot automatic or guaranteed. Associate Memberships and Guest Passes can not be used to

take an existing hunting club member as your guest and doing so will result in revocation ofhunting club privileges for the remaining portion of the hunting season.

ATTENTION DEER HUNTERS

23. The Edmond Sportsmen’s Club has taken a deer trophy conservation approachto the harvesting of bucks. We are asking everyone to only harvest 8 point bucksor greater. With the quality of the land we lease, this will produce quality bucks. ESC would encourage the harvest of doe’s. Many of our leases are in danger ofover population if we don’t begin to reduce the deer population.

24. Deer stands placed by the club members must have the member’s name andphone number attached to the stand and be visible from ground level. Stands thatare not marked will be assumed to have been place by trespassers and are subjectto removal and disposal.

25. When a member’s equipment is located on club property, it is everyone’sresponsibility to not disturb the equipment. Any member found disturbing anycamera, blind, feeder etc. may be subject to disciplinary action by the club.

26. Deer hunters will have 2 weeks after the drawing to select their huntinglocations on the lease drawn for muzzle loader season and until November 1, forrifle season. Hunters will have a priority of a hunting location based upon theirorder of draw. The first hunter drawn will have first choice, second draw next andetc. Members failing to establish a hunting location prior to the times listed abovewill no longer have a priority status for the selection of hunting location and will goto the bottom of the priority list.

27. The person higher in rank of the priority will be responsible to notify the personfollowing them as to their preference of hunting location.

28. Due to the very limited hunter availability to receive Kansas Deer Permits, theboard of directors will not guarantee that we will make available any lease for thepurpose of Kansas deer hunting.

ATTENTION QUAIL HUNTERS

29. Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma quail/pheasant hunting is limited to a maximumof 3 times to any one lease. A member may only hunt quail/pheasant one timeduring any calendar month (October, November, December, January, February) onany particular lease, not exceeding the 3 time limit per season. This rule does notapply to the Johnson Quail Lease. The rule limiting one time per calendar month isaltered for the Johnson Quail Lease to read 2-2day hunts not in the same calendarmonth per season. This only applies to the Johnson Quail Lease. All other leasesfollow the original rule.

2016 BOOKING A HUNT

1. Members may book a hunt by logging onto the club’s website at www.eschunting.org.

2. Members may book a hunt six days in advance of any day occurring after the opening two days of a hunting season.

3. Opening two days of most seasons are booked thru a drawing held in September orother date as necessary and the spots remaining after the drawing will be available six daysin advance as with any regular booking.

4. Quail Hunters may only be booked for two days in advance, unless one of the hunting

days has already started. Deer /Turkey hunters may only be booked for four days inadvance, unless one of the hunting days has already started.

EXAMPLE: Bill is booked Monday and Tuesday of next week for quail. If Bill wants to bookWednesday he would not be able to book until the hunting day on Monday has alreadybegun. The same scenario would be true for deer hunting except to book the fifth day inadvance the first day must have already begun.

5. Dove hunting must be booked. Book dove hunts using the quail lease number for anyparticular property. Dove season bookings will not be counted against the quail limitationsfor hunting a lease.

6. All leases will be booked for the entire day. Unless you are booked on a lease, you arenot to be on the lease. Bookings may be canceled if done prior to the date of the scheduledhunt. A scheduled hunt can not be cancelled after the start of the hunting day unless themember contacts the Treasurer, Secretary or Leasing Agent. Those members haveadministrative privileges for the web site and are able to cancel the hunt. Members areallowed to hunt 2 or more leases on the same day providing that you book the second leaseduring the day of the hunt. It is still against club rules to book in advance more than onelease on any given date.

7. If a member will not be hunting a reserved lease, the member must cancel the hunt thruthe online booking program. Every member is responsible for either attending a bookedhunt or canceling the hunt . During deer and turkey season, members who are alsoreserved on the lease should be notified by the canceling member that they will not be thereto hunt. This will allow the remaining hunters to adjust their hunting location if desired.

8. Each member must report all game harvested or wounded and lost. Reports of theharvest must be done on the booking website Reporting tab. The booking program will notallow future bookings if you fail to report your harvest withing 7 days of the hunt, this samerule applies for guests/family members of the primary members.

9. For all types of hunting, a member may reserve a lease for herself or himself and any

other member, provided that the member has the LOGIN NAME and PASSWORD of eachmember to be booked. Every member booked on a lease, regardless of who made thereservation, is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Club’s rules and procedures,including, but not limited to, those rules applying to cancellation of reservations.

10. If you have questions regarding a lease or the Club’s rules and procedures, contact anESC director, officer or member of the Lease or Ethics Committee as appropriate.

This will require the booking of both the quail and deer lease numbersfor the particular lease. It is the responsibility of the hunter to book the properlease number. Improperly booked hunts will result in rules violations. Do notbook a quail lease number and intend to deer hunt, etc.

5. Various combination leases will be closed to quail hunting during the deer rifleseason. If a lease does not appear on the website booking service, it is closed.Several leases in Texas and Kansas will be closed during the season by contractwith the landowner to allow for the landowner to have deer hunters present.

threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or

completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,

administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the

right of the club) by reason of the fact that he is or was a

director, officer, employee or agent of the, club, or is or was serving at the request of the club as a director, officer,

employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint

venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including

attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such

action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the

best interests of the club, and, with respect to any criminal

action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his

conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or

proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a

plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith

and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the club, and, with respect to

any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to

believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(b) The club shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the club to

procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is

or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the club, or is

or was serving at the request of the club as a director,

officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,

joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action

or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably

believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the

club and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect

of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the

performance of his duty to the club unless and only to the

extent that the district court or the court in which such action

or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,

despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the

circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the district court

or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the club has been successful on the merits or otherwise in

defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in

subsections (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or

matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses

(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the club only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification

of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the

circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of

conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such

determinations shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a

majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (2) if such a quorum

is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of

disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel

in a written opinion, or (3) by the members.

(e) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the club in advance of the

final disposition of such action, suit or Proceeding as

authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon

the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall

ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified

by the club as authorized in this section.

(f) The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking

indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote

of members or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another

capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a

person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or

agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and

administrators of such a person.

(g) The club shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,

employee or agent of the club, or is or was serving at the

request of the club as a director, officer, employee or agent of

another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other

enterprise against any liability asserted against him and

incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his

status as such, whether or not the club would have the power to

indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of

this section.
