I have noticed, with 1 hour hunts, clubs making deadlines 3 hours apart in the summertime. They don't want to be there too late. Then to make return scorecard 15 minutes before 2nd hunt so you have time to enter the 2nd hunt. Draw casts and get off club grounds, 15 minutes, you now have 2 1/2 hours travel and hunt time(1 hr). Drive 20 minutes to hunt.. now 1 deep and lonely, a split tree at the end, dog gets outta hearing and you have an hour to return to cast, and how many more scenarios that you miss time. Loose your cast win.
Come on clubs, we're talking 2 days a year, maybe 3. On a weekend, If I see 3 hours, I won't go. Is it unreasonable to ask for 4 hours in-between deadlines? Go take a nap, 2 extra hours a night for 2 nights a year to keep hunters coming doesn't seem like it is that much to me and I am 65 years old.

We do it 7 times a year and at our club you but get 3.5 to 4 hours for a 1 hour hunt. I too have been to many hunts that if you lose a dog for 1 hour you will never make the deadline.

I like to give double the hunt time plus travel time for the deadline. What I hate are guides who lie about the time they need to get where they are going. I've seen a 40 minute drive turn out to be 1.5 hours of 10+ mph driving on several occasions.

I hear some clubs allow early round hunters to enter the late round before they go out on early round. That has them entered before the deadline .

What’s kills me is clubs that schedule hunts in winter and make entry deadline at 6 clock in July not realizing gets dark at 9 clock.
