Outdoor collectives
Clubs hold ground.You hold people.
Veterans' groups, women's hunting communities, youth programs, conservation chapters, and regional networks all organize hunters without ever signing a lease. That is a different job from running a club, and it deserves different tools.
The distinction
Two different jobs, often confused.
Software built for clubs assumes a lease, a stand map, and a piece of ground. A collective has none of those and needs almost everything else.
| Hunting club | Outdoor collective | |
|---|---|---|
| Holds a lease | Yes — that's the point | No |
| Assigns stands | Yes, on its own ground | No — access comes from partners |
| Collects dues | Yes, to fund the lease | Optional — often free to members |
| Vets members | Yes, and vouches for them | Yes, and vouches for them |
| Runs events | Work days, opening weekend | Mentored hunts, youth days, habitat work |
| Money | None — dues go straight to the lease | Referral earnings on the ground and clubs you bring on |
What a collective gets
Everything a club has, minus the lease.
Member roster & vetting
Applications, approvals, and verified members — the same verification every hunter on the network carries.
Events & mentored hunts
Youth days, first hunts, veterans' weekends, and work days with rosters, waivers, and safety briefings attached.
Access through partners
Your members reach ground held by clubs and landowners on the network, with your vouching as part of the record.
Waivers & safety
Versioned waivers signed before an event, and a safety briefing record that actually exists if it is ever needed.
Referral earnings
Paid on the ground and clubs your community brings onto the network, settled through Stripe Connect.
Community, not a feed
Broadcasts, event calls, and coordination for people who already know each other — not another social network to maintain.
Getting started
What joining looks like.
Tell us who you organize
First conversationWho your members are, where they hunt, how many there are, and what you are currently doing that is harder than it should be.
Your roster comes across
Week oneMembers are invited rather than enrolled — each one confirms their own details and verifies once, network-wide.
Events go on the calendar
Before the seasonMentored hunts, youth days, and work days with waivers, capacity, and safety records attached from the start.
Access opens as regions do
Region by regionYour members reach clubs and landowners as each region comes online. Colorado first, then the Southeast through 2027.
Collective questions
What organizers ask
What's the difference between a collective and a club?
A club holds ground — it signs a lease, assigns stands, and its members hunt that specific property. A collective holds people. It has no lease and no stands; it organizes a community whose members then get access through clubs and landowners on the network. Plenty of collectives eventually take a lease and become both, and that is a fine outcome.
Does it cost our members anything?
Nothing beyond what any hunter pays: the one-time $49 verification, and then whatever the club or landowner charges for access. The collective itself carries an organizer subscription; membership of your community is free and stays free.
Can we run our own events and hunts?
Yes, and it is usually the whole point. Youth hunts, mentored first hunts, veterans' weekends, and habitat work days all run as collective events, with rosters, waivers, and safety briefings handled the same way a club's are. The difference is that you are borrowing the ground rather than holding it.
We're a non-profit. Does that change anything?
It changes the paperwork rather than the model. Tell us in the first conversation and we will work out the right structure — a great many of the groups doing genuinely good work here are non-profits, and we would rather build for that than around it.
