Ticks: The Worse Thing About Spending Time Outdoors

There isn’t much we don’t love about being outdoors and enjoying the benefits of an active lifestyle. However, if there is one negative that we all have to deal with it, let’s agree on the dreaded and disgusting tick.

In fact, you won’t even feel the bite of a tick due to a chemical found in their saliva that acts as an [...]

Pittman Robertson Act

In 1937 Franklin Roosevelt signed into law the PR Act that provided an 11% excise tax on all firearms and ammunition. (it has since been amended to add archery equipment to the list of taxable items) These considerable funds were then earmarked for distribution to the states to fund wildlife restoration projects, archery education, maintenance of state parks, shooting ranges etc. States receive this funding based on the states area and the number of licensed hunters. So, there is a direct correlation between the number of licensed hunters in a state and available funding from the federal government. How it Effected Hunting In 1937 this was a tremendous financial boom to the states and to the hunting community. Even today, states count on the [...]

Hunting Leases – The Future of Hunting

Leased Hunting Access and Its Effect on The Future of Hunting Let’s start with this.  Of the over 1000 hunters that lease their hunting access and responded to our survey, 98% of them are at least mostly satisfied and will lease again!  That is an overwhelming reality and should at the very least cause every hunter in this country to take note.  98 out of every 100 hunters that choose to compensate a landowner for exclusive access to quality habitat and have some level of control over harvests, hunting decisions and safety are happy with their decision and will continue to do so. Hunting Lease Survey Results The AHLA undertook this survey to find out if access to quality wildlife habitat was in fact [...]

Hunters Insurance

The truth about hunting leases is that there just isn’t much downside for any of the parties involved. Landowners realize additional revenue while controlling hunter numbers, reducing trespassing issues and creating much safer hunting conditions. Hunters are thrilled to gain access to quality wildlife habitat through leasing. Most hunters place such a high value on their hunting experience, they are eager to create a friendly, beneficial relationship with their landowner. Which is why landowner liability insurance is so crucial. However, like any arrangement where promises are made and money changes hands, it is imperative for each side to feel comfortable and free from substantial risk. For landowners, the responsibility to provide a safe environment for their “guests” creates a very real liability concern. Any [...]

It’s February. I Guess That Means I Have to Shed Hunt.

I am not a fan of February. How can I be? Deer season is long over, football is gone for 8 months, snow and ice are covering everything on our lease and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
