Our banquet, sporting clays shoot, sporting clays tournament, dove hunts, and chartered freshwater fishing trip attendance was up significantly.  Our guided upland bird hunts and guided duck hunts attendance was down significantly, probably due to inflation.  Our self-guided/chartered blasts and casts (duck hunts and fishing trips) attendance was down significantly because the coastal blast and cast was changed to just a bay fishing trip, due to a lack of ducks.

2025 Membership Comparison for the last four years (for a report on 2024 only see the 1/1/26 State of the Club Report)

In 2021 and 2022 we had a large number of people join the Club due to the requirement that Bartlett season dove lease members be FCS members.  Not as many people joined the lease in 2023 and especially in 2024, as Brett Harbers raised his lease price significantly and the hunting was poor except on opening day.  Brett no longer leased his property in 2025.

In 2022 we had a large number of people join the Club or renew their memberships due to our requirement that Bartlett season dove lease members be FCS members.  Not as many people joined FCS or renewed their memberships in 2023 and 2024, as Brett Harbers raised his lease price significantly and the hunting was poor except on opening day.  Not as many people joined FCS or renewed their memberships in 2025 as Brett no longer leased his property.
