If a landowner contacts you that has his property leased with other hunters, do you try and get them to use you instead?
If a landowner contacts you that has his property leased with other hunters, do you try and get them to use you instead?
Absolutely not. Our goal is to open private land that hasn’t been hunted before. We are in business to open land, not take it. By showing landowners we are transparent and our business process is effective and finely tuned, many are learning this is a great method to allow for us to use their property. The only occasion where it might look like we have done this is when a landowner contacts us that is tired of managing it, which we will then try to renew it with the existing hunters.

How does the maximum hunters, guests and family work?
When a landowner signs an agreement with us we decide at that time how many hunters to put on the property. We call them the primary hunters. The landowner also selects whether or not immediate family can hunt with them. This would be your spouse and children under 18. Children over 18 would be considered a primary hunter. They also select if they are allowing one guest per member to come during non big game seasons. Guests are not allowed to shoot big game or turkeys. Landowners may or may not set the total maximum number of hunters, guests, family that can be present at any given time on the property. This info can be found on the property page on the website.

What about Livestock?
We tell hunters to always assume that livestock may be present even if the property does not have livestock on it. Livestock can break through fences and they will destroy equipment. It is up to you to protect & secure your gear or risk having to replace it at your expense. If a property does not have livestock present it will state this on the property page on the website. Livestock management requires that they be moved around at different times of the year and there is no schedule provided for doing so. content

Common Questions
Why do people use you, can't I just do it myself?
Why do people use you, can't I just do it myself?
- Most people who use us have never allowed hunting and dont want to keep up with it all or have the experience or resources to do it effectively.
- By using our service you are ensuring that a professional service that is skilled and knowledgable in this area is working for you.
- Keeping a property licensed every year is difficult, we have thousands of hunters on our site every month looking for that special place and our service maintains all the records of people entering and using your property and we communicate your wishes through documentation so that no stone is left unturned. Everything is 100% transparent and verifiable.
- We also provide a General Liability policy that covers hunting/fishing related accidents that may occur including fires. This policy is backed by Lloyds of London. Contrary to what most landowners believe most often their farm and ranch policy do not cover these things.
- Some landowners want one phone number to call to express changes or needs.
- Up Front Payment in Full and on time.
What if the hunters dont follow my rules?
What if the hunters dont follow my rules?
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.
I don't want new people on my property all the time, how do you prevent this?
I don't want new people on my property all the time, how do you prevent this?
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.
How do you manage the number of people coming onto my property?
How do you manage the number of people coming onto my property?
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 required 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.

Do you increase your prices?
Do you increase your prices?
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.
Don't hunters shoot everything and hurt the game populations?
Don't hunters shoot everything and hurt the game populations?
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.
