Immediate family and the deer they take comes out of your allowed harvest. Special guests are allowed at $150 a day with only 1 doe and cull bucks allowed, they also have to have a member hunting with them.

Does your club allow guests and if so, why?

This is why I don't go deer hunting. Get up super early, freeze your ass off. Then when you do shoot a deer, you got to drag the heavy SOB, out of the woods, then skin it, butcher it, and then freeze the meat. That's a lot of work.
I'd rather just shoot pigs, and leave them were they fall.

20 years ago I took over a 300 acre club. They had an open policy for guest and zero harvest restrictions. One of the members had a buddy that hunted with him. They killed every deer they saw and made no bones about it, they were feeding two large families. One day the rode out with 5 deer, including button heads and spikes. This guest was taking more deer than all of the other members combined.
Next year new rules.
Guest are allowed but must be in the same stand as the member.
2 buck / 2 doe limit per member. Guest kills goes against your 2/2 total.
The killers moved on. Problem solved.

I have two rules. If you're there, you're with me. The other rule, always be armed.......
Exactly...
Even my Dad has noticed I haven't hunted in a while and asked me about it. And he's not a hunter
I love deer hunting always have. Clubs just to expensive for me now. Have gun, limited travel.
I guess maybe I have a different perspective than some, having only ever hunted private family property or maybe I just have enough common sense to understand that having a picture of a buck doesn't make it your's. Being mad at someone else for shooting a specific deer is just ignorant in my opinion. Deer range for miles, especially during the rut. We've shot bucks on our 300-acre property that we've never gotten a picture of on trail cams.
Personally if someone else shoots a big buck on my property or any of my neighbors' properties, aside from the wanton slaughter one of my neighbors was responsible for a couple years ago, then good for them. I'm sure it brought them joy and they were in the right place when that deer decided to walk by and I wasn't. Luck of the draw. Unless you have a high fence property, you have no claim to any deer and no control over where they go, so why get bent out of shape about it?
