Ten miles from the center of Athens, TX, past an empty white shack that used to be May's Cafe, you'll find a county road with a number but no name that leads to an electric gate, accessible only to those who know the code. You think you are in the middle of nowhere, in what looks like an outpost of some long-forgotten neighborhood. Only you aren't. You are at the gates of one of the oldest hunting & fishing clubs in North America. There is a 40-year waiting list with a former President vying for membership! This is one of the last bastions of true Texas society.
This donation is for a three-night, four-day stay at one of the oldest, most prestigious private hunting and fishing clubs in the United States. Club members Wilson & Susan Stout have generously donated this stay, which is good for one couple during the 2015 or 2016 calendar years. They will be your hosts to make your weekend magical! While dates are open, the fishing is best in March, April, and May. Catch & release trophy black bass in a lake donated by a former Texas governor. Bass are catch & release only, though crappy and brim can be eaten or taken home. This donation includes a fishing guide for your expeditions. Stay with the Stouts at their cabin after arrival in Dallas (fly into DFW or a private landing strip if coordinated). The dates are to be mutually agreed upon and there is a real possibility to hunt alligator as well. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the lore of this hallowed hunting ground. This donation includes lodging, fishing, food & drinks, fun, and a possible alligator hunt.
