Landowner Frequently Asked Questions
Yes we absolutely do and in fact so can you before allowing them access. We are not like others where anyone who has paid a membership fee can set foot on your property before you have had the opportunity to meet them
Yes you do and all hunter contact info is also provided.
First of all we give you the option to limit harvests in our agreement with you to alleviate this concern. Hunters today seek trophy animals that are rare and difficult to find. Some hunters will go 3-5 years and never take an animal. Hunters directly benefit the herd thru management and food sources not commonly available on a property.
Generally in most cases: Hunters have jobs, they have spouses and children. They have prime hunting times of the year where they will be using your property often. An example is during deer rifle season. A hunter may take part of his vacation and be on the property for 7-14 days in a row. Hunters usually are afield on average a total of 45-60 days per year. You wont see them all the time, and in fact because they are hunting very early or late afternoon many times you wont even see them. They are present on weekends and usually have jobs to go back to. Many of them save vacation for family trips and only use a partial amount of that for hunting.

Private land is very difficult to find. Hunting is more than shooting an animal. Alot of time and money goes into learning a property and developing it for the hunters enjoyment. Trees get trimmed, soil tests are done, food plots are often established, feed programs are established, blinds and tree stands are placed which often require tractors, trailers and others coming to help on a weekend. Also just hunting a property takes time and dedication to learn the travel patterns of the animals, for instance a blind placed this year will often times be moved after the first year to a location the hunter visually saw was more effective in the previous year. If they lost the property, they lose a great deal of time and money invested. I believe it can take as much as 3 years to learn a property of 160 acres
 If you suspect that the group isnt following the rules, you call us and we can have a discussion with them. Hunters do want to return to a property and our experience is they do follow the rules but mistakes can happen. Once brought to their attention it usually never happens again and of course if your not happy with the group they will not be allowed to renew the property.
We have increased our net margin twice in 23 years. One of those times was due to insurance coverage. If you want to increase your price we ask that you notify us in advance so that we can implement it before the property renews. We always give the current group of hunters the option to keep the property at the new price.
- When a property is purchased we capture the hunters names up to the maximum allowed by you. This information is transferred to the hunting license document and provided back to the hunters and sent to the landowner. Hunters are req’d to have this license with them at all times. If you see someone you dont know, you can introduce yourself and ask to see the license, then verify their name. You can also look at the back window of any vehicle inside your property and see if they have a current sticker attached to the window. If you allow guests on your property, they must be with a licensed person at all times.
Yes, licensee’s are req’d to have their guests fill out the waiver and submit it to us before they can go on your property.
By allowing people to hunt and or fish, what am I giving up? You are releasing your rights to hunt your property or give access to others to hunt your property. Its still your land so you have full use and rights to farm and manage your property. We ask that when reasonable that you try not to interfere with hunters especially between daylight and 10am and 3pm to dusk during hunting seasons. You also still have the rights to fish your property.

All you need to do is notify us within the timeline on our agreement and we will no longer represent your property as available after the 3, 6 or 12 month term in place expires.
We do that for you and of course if you wish, you can do that yourself. But we ask that you notify us of anything that your dissatisfied with so we have the opportunity to correct it.
