I am looking for a self-guided, members only, fee-type of club. It would have to be somewhere with access to private owned and leased land. It is very difficult to search them out online. I am only finding guided hunting clubs.
Any information is much appreciated, as well as any contact information or email of a land owner who allows access to his/her property for a fee.
If you prefer to reply with a personal message, please don't hesitate.
Thank you all in advance.

Those guides you are finding are going to be your best bet for information especially this late in the game.

I was turned on to this website from a hunting buddy of mine who had just drawn the slide ridge tag. I used to be a member of a private hunting ranch in SE Washington for 15 years until the farmer got very sick. The past couple of years I have been hunting public land mostly in the Entiat and Chiwawa units. I shot a real nice buck in Mills Canyon on a tag I drew several years back. What I have found recently is hunting general season is a lot tougher due to high volumes of people. That is why I am actively trying to find another person or place that allows people to hunt on their private land for a fee.
This year I got to enjoy a nice bowl of tag soup. What I am hoping for is to line something up for next year. Many times spots on clubs become available and I wanted to put some feelers out to potentially grab a spot. It is also very important that the area is free range.
Again I appreciate everyone's feedback.

I was looking for the $500-1000 range. The club I was on was $550 but the bucks down there were called "bench bucks" and were a cross breed between Mule deer and black tail. In 15 years I had not seen one taken above 165. (Goldendale, Wa GMU 382) I am from Chelan county.
I put in for points out of state each year, but I was trying to locate another home territory hunting area.
