Think You Don’t Need Hunting Liability Insurance? As a hunting outfitter, you have a lot on your plate. You constantly need to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening on your property so you know how to put clients on the wild game animals they are looking for. You also need to maintain your property and your hunting gear so it’s all in good working order. Not to mention the ever-important aspect of retaining existing clients and finding new ones. But in the midst of all that, do you really have time to pursue hunting liability insurance? That depends… Do you want to protect your family’s assets and the company you’ve built through maybe years of grueling work? Do you want to shield [...]

Hunting Safety Awareness | Common Hunting Accidents You’ve heard it over and over again. First from your parents, then throughout school, and now you likely hear it preached at your workplace. “Stay safe.” It’s obviously great advice and there’s a lot that you (yes, you personally) can actually do to prevent unsafe situations from happening. But the reality is that there is always the unknown. It’s like baby-proofing your whole house, but then your kid just plain falls down in the middle of the floor and hurts him or herself. It’s similar with hunting safety and hunting accidents. Though you can do a lot to avoid them as both the landowner or the hunter and make the land safer, there is always a [...]

America’s guides and outfitters offer a wide array of experiences and activities. From guiding elk hunters on horseback in the Rockies, to picking up waterfowl hunters at a local motel for a day of shooting sea ducks in Maryland or even hosting whitetail hunters in their own home at the peak of the rut, guides and outfitters must be part hunter, part host and part business professional.  Of course, large scale operations usually have a full staff of guides, sales people and business advisors to help make sure the company runs smoothly and makes a nice profit. On the other hand, a much larger percentage of outfitters are making do with a handful of friends and family helping when and where they can. [...]

Ready to Hang Stands? 5 Mistakes You DO NOT Want To Make. If you are like most hunters across the country, you likely hunted some during the late season and even more likely noticed a few trails or bedding areas you thought would make a nice place to hang a stand. Before you could get back out to move or hang a new stand, life moved on and drug you with it. Winter turned into turkey season and before you knew it the dog days of summer arrived and made being in the woods less than enjoyable. Now opening day of bow season for some states is less than 60 days away and the deadline to get stands up and leave them along [...]

Over the last several years I have begun to enjoy hunting alone and have even found myself preferring to hunt alone. Even when the weather is right and the calendar tells me to spend 4 or 5 days on a trip, hunting on my own gives me complete control of my successes and sole responsibility for my failures. It wasn’t that long ago, that the exact opposite was the norm. I much preferred the company of someone to share sightings with and drink a beer with when we weren’t in a stand.  Killing a mature deer was just more fun with someone there to share the moment with.  I like to think that life has matured me and that I just take more [...]
