American Hunting Lease Association Announces New Program to Protect Landowners

Fishers, IN — The American Hunting Lease Association, well known for their Hunting Lease Liability Insurance, has announced they are now offering a Timberland Liability Insurance policy. Also known as Vacant Land Liability Insurance, their new policy will be offered along with the first-class purchasing process and friendly customer service that their current members have come to expect.

While Hunting Lease Liability Insurance protects hunters and landowners who entered into a hunting lease agreement to access the property, many landowners were unprotected against unwanted or uninvited guests. Additionally, landowners that invite friends and family to hunt for free were left unprotected in the event of an accident. Timberland Liability coverage can now address all of their needs as owners of vacant timberland as they deal with trespassers and other uninvited parties. Read more

RMEF: Colorado Wolf Ballot Initiative Preys on Elk, Hunting, Taxpayers

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Colorado’s economy, elk population, conservation funding, hunting industry and resident taxpayer dollars are in the crosshairs. An environmental extremist-driven ballot initiative aims to force an introduction of wolves onto the Colorado landscape even though Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed a natural migrating, active pack in the northwest part of the state.

“Ballot box biology is reckless. In this particular case, it totally undermines the authority of Colorado’s wildlife professionals who have said time and time again over several decades that a forced wolf introduction is a bad idea,” said Kyle Weaver, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation president and CEO. “As an organization, RMEF pledges to do all in our power to educate voters about the significant, real-life, detrimental impacts of such an effort.” Read more
