Dues:
The second 1/2 should be paid on or before October 1st (no later). This
will give us the needed funds to pay the remaining balance of the land
leases. (Unless you've contacted us to make arrangements by October 15th,
your group will not be assigned a hunting location when the season begins.)
Make checks payable to Double
R Hunting Club, and mail them to:
9414 Twilight Moon Dr.
Houston, Texas 77064
Release of Liability Forms:
The release of liability forms will be provided to you in your hunting packets,
but we've also made them available here for your convenience! EACH
and every member must (absolutely no exceptions) have a completed
form on file with DRHC PRIOR to hunting. This form must be
completed each year.

Also, by executing this form, you agree that you will also have any/all guests fill out the Guest Release of Liability form PRIOR to stepping on DRHC property to hunt. The fully executed guest forms may be forwarded to DRHC at your convenience during the hunting season. Please make sure that all of your guest forms are sent to DRHC by the end of the hunting season.

Membership
Cards:
In recent years
many of you have asked for membership cards are something to distinguish
members from non-members. You wish will be granted this year! We
are going to provide each and every member with a membership card to carry with
you. Each member will also be provided with a card to place on their
vehicle's dashboard identifying them as a member. These two items should
help everyone more easily identify those hunters who should be on the properties
and those who should not.
The new cards will be sent out with your hunting packets prior to the beginning of the hunting season.
Please have the spokesperson for your group mail or email a complete list of the hunters to enable us to accurately provide membership cards to everyone.
Poaching:
Poaching has
always been a threat on our hunting properties. We absolutely do not want
any of our hunters putting themselves into harms way by approaching suspected
poachers. Please call the main number as soon as you can to report any
suspicious activity, suspected poachers, unsportsmanlike conduct, etc. We
will take care of the situation from there. We have cell phone numbers
for most of the game wardens covering the areas where our properties are
located.
Dove
Hunting:
You are provided dove hunting as part of your membership. We don't
generally expect you to call us for hunting spots for dove hunting. The
only property where dove hunting is absolutely not allowed is Nelson
Farms. (KPC (Katy Prairie Conservancy) does not allow dove hunting
on their property without explicit prior approval for a one-time event.)
For the Central Zone, you can hunt North Longenbaugh (do not go through the gate into Nelson Farms), East and West Peek, plus you can also hunt the Hockley property. We only lease this property for September and October for dove hunting. You can download the Hockley Overview and the Hockley property map from the Dove Lease map page - click here to go to that page. The Hockley property is the only property we can allow you to hunt as the other properties in the Central Zone are for the Dove Memberships.
Dove Hunting works a bit different than waterfowl hunting does. At any time, please feel free to call us if you have questions - that's what we are here for!
Hunting
Packets:
Every season we create new membership hunting packets and send them out. These
packets have everything you need to get started:
List of the Rules (Click to download a copy)
Member Release of Liability form (Click to download a copy)
Guest Release of Liability form (Click to download a copy)
Signed Harris County Permission Slip (MUST be kept with you at all times while hunting in Harris County)
Overview Maps (provides the general area to help locate properties)
Individual Property Maps
We are running a bit late this year! Please use the maps linked to the dove page to dove hunt. We will be sending out your hunting packets in the next week or so. We want to make sure you have what you need prior to teal season. For now, please make sure you have sent us your completed Release of Liability form.
Hunting
Location Requests and Reporting Bag #s:
All waterfowl hunts must
be requested the day prior to the hunt, no exceptions (we will
not be taking/assigning reservations more than a day in advance either by phone
or email). The spokesperson for your group should call the main number
(281-894-2979) by 5:00PM the day prior to hunting, to make a request for
a hunting location. When a request is received, the group is entered onto
the hunting log request sheet for the following day. As assignments are
made, they are also entered onto the log. We will contact each spokesperson
by 6:00PM (at the latest 7:00PM) to make the final assignments.
We are also taking reservations by email this year! Email your reservation to doublerh@swbell.net by 5:00 PM. Please provide us with your email addresses if you plan on using this method. We must be able to send out an email notice if we are going to be out of town and therefore unable to accept emails.
NOTE: We always want to keep our members happy by assigning the exact hunting location they may have requested each and every time, however this is not always possible for various reasons. Maybe more than one group has requested the same spot, or the area needs to be rested, or there's a problem in that area. Whatever the reason, everyone will have the same opportunities by the end of the season.
Please take a few minutes and call us after your hunt to let us know how your group did that day. The bag information is added to the hunting log for your group and kept on file. This information really does help us manage the properties by keeping the hunting properties productive for you!
Hunting
Pictures:
Want to share
your great hunting pictures? Email them to us and we'll be happy to post
them on the website! Do you have special hunting photos of your kids that
you would like to share? Send those to me as well. We'll be happy
to post those on the Kid's page for all to see.
Work
Schedules:
We paid someone
to work week in and week out this year to create blinds, fix blinds, work on
ponds, etc. No members will need to
volunteer this year.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us (281-894-2979) on
Friday afternoons prior to the weekend that you would like to work. We
should have more information regarding the exact meeting location, time,
equipment needed, etc. by then. We'll log your name and phone number on
the work log for that day/weekend.
MAPS:
The Property Maps have a Google Earth underlay! Roland Choate (member) worked these for us and they look great!
You also have another format below, furnished too by Roland. They are KMZ files. You will need to have Google Earth installed on your system first. Download the maps to your system. Open them and you'll find that Google Earth is launched and takes you straight to the property, with the property map overlay! Pretty Cool...
Regular Maps:
ZIPPED INDIVIDUAL MAPS - Save to your system, then unzip, then open individual maps!
