The Scope – May 2022

I have to admit, outside of deer season May is my favorite month.  It just feels like winter is officially behind us, summer is right in front of us and we can start to really make plans for October and November. Of course, chasing turkeys is a good time and here in Indianapolis we have a little race on Memorial Day weekend that really should be on everyone’s bucket list.  In addition to those things, it is also the perfect time to take some safety measures on your lease or property starting with checking your treestands.  We have included a great article below that outlines and describes how and why you should be checking those straps, stands and seats before you hunt out of them this fall. Before the fields get planted and access gets tricky is the perfect time.

It’s also a time around here for us to ask ourselves what more can we do for our members?  What can we provide for them that will make their experience with us better and more valuable? I told our team we would announce this in June, but hey if you have read this far, you deserve a little peak.   Beginning in June we will be offering an (optional) Premium Membership with increased coverages to $2 million per occurrence. The upgrade will also include access to significant discounts on hunting gear, clothing, knives and more from over 60 of the top hunting companies in the country!  We are still working on the program, but it will be ready to go in just a few short weeks.

Until next month, please be safe and remember those that gave everything so we could live freely!

COO American Hunting Lease Association

We are in the thick of spring and while you may be out turkey hunting you may also be thinking about your fall hunting season and how to improve your food plots, trail cams and most importantly your tree stands.  Now is a great time to pull your tree stands down so that you can inspect and repair them if needed.  Once it warms up, the thick woods and hot temps can make dragging your stands down treacherous.  Then, once the farmers begin to sow seeds and get their crops in the ground, driving your truck right up to them becomes a pipe dream. You will wish this job had been done months ago…
