Would anyone know how I would go about starting a squirrel club in Illinois?

Find a facility and get enough folks lined up to reliably have guides and enough land to host hunts and you have a club. Simple as falling off a log in theory. Not so much in reality.

Shoot Brad Davis a message on FB about the business end of it. There are some do's and don'ts that you need to cover. Just because you aren't making a profit doesn't exclude you from non profit status. The USDC found out that the hard way. He can steer you in the right way with that.

Good luck with your club, Chip Judges Is also starting a sq. club over there. Hope you don't step on our toe's here at Potosi (hunt dates), you will be club #5 in the area.

Mt Vernon had a strong club when PKC had a squirrel program. I wouldn't be surprised to see them come back strong with NSD or USDC hunts. It was a great club and I had a great time hunting there over the years.

Where are you looking to base your club?
