  11. Booking Guidelines Rules • All leases are booked for the entire day • Reservations may be canceled if done prior to the date of the scheduled hunt. Cancelations after the hunting day has started may be only accomplished by a board member. Newreservations may be made at any time, provided the ESC rules and regulations are followed. Reservations must be cancelled or hunted. Failure to do either will be considered a violation of ESC rules.

  12. Booking Guidelines Rules • Opening Day • Opening Day hunts are booked through a drawing held at a September meeting. • Any available Opening Day spots not booked through the drawing can be booked six days in advance. • Regular Season • Hunts can be booked a maximum of six days in advance. • Quail hunts are limited to two dates in advance on the schedule. • Deer / Turkey hunts are limited to four dates in advance on the schedule. • Combination Quail & Deer leases • Weekend Closures • For the three weeks that these hunting seasons overlap each year, our combined leases are closed to Quail hunting on Saturday and Sunday • Weekday quail hunts • Arrive on property no earlier than – 9:00 a.m. • Depart by 4:00 p.m. • Combined leases require both quail and deer lease numbers • Dove hunts • Book the hunt using the quail lease number for the property

  13. Booking Hunts for Associates and Guests • Hunts for Members, Associate Members, and Day Guests are all booked in the same manner. • The Club Member must book the Guest or Associate. Each member purchasing an Associate or Guest pass will have a family member named either “Guest” or “Associate” and hunts must be booked using the “family member name”.

  14. Booking Cancellations • Bookings can be cancelled on-line at www.eschunting.org • When you cancel a hunt during deer and turkey season, notify all of the members and that are booked on the lease at the time of the cancellation.

  15. Lease Closures • Several of our leases will be closed completely to quail hunting during the deer gun season. If you are not able to view the lease on the lease scheduler it is closed and will re-appear when the lease is open again. Various Kansas leases will be closed during the season because of landowner agreements for deer season.

  16. On Line Lease Manager

  17. On Line Lease ManagerDefinitions Username: FIRST NAME space LAST NAME • The last name will always be the last name of the primary card holder, regardless of the child/spouse last names. • Each family members name will be listed on the main members file.

If you have any trouble seeing a proper list, do not pre-select a lease or game type, go directly to Get Schedule. Only leases that can be booked on the date of your login will be displayed in this list. Example: If you login on Friday and Deer season doesn’t open until Saturday, none of the Deer leases will be displayed in the drop down list but would appear on the actual schedule when the season is open. Game Type: You may sort the display of leases according to game species. IE: Quail, Deer or Turkey. Or, you may leave this field blank, and all the leases will be displayed. Note, if you do not specify a game species the list of available leases may be very long when more than one game type season is open.

  19. On-line Lease Manager Selecting a Lease to Book • The lease schedule will be displayed, beginning with the day that you are logging in and continuing for 6 additional consecutive days. This date range is the only date range that you may book or cancel a hunt. The name of each available lease and the lease number will be displayed followed by a dash and a single digit number. The single digit number represents the total number of people that can be booked on the lease. • If you possess a Guest pass or a Associate membership, you will book your name for yourself and “Guest/Associate for your Guest.
