1. Absolutely no hunting is allowed until a Participant has paid in full.
2. Anyone under 21 years of age must be accompanied in the field by an adult at all times.
3. Participants are expected to exercise appropriate caution at all times.
4. Safe hunting is the cornerstone of our Preserve! In the field, each person must wear at least one article of solid blaze hunter orange above the waist. Anyone in the field must wear safety glasses at all times.
5. Preserve rules prohibit shooting anywhere within a safety zone. Ground shooting and shooting at low-flying birds is prohibited. Do not shoot across roads or ditches, if the view is not clear. Please use extra caution if shooting in the vicinity of buildings, equipment or vehicles. The violation of any Preserve rule may result in the early termination of a hunt without refund.
6. The consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited at all times on the Preserve's property. Anyone management feels is under the influence of alcohol, or otherwise unfit to hunt, will not be permitted on the Preserve property.
7. Handguns are not allowed on the Preserve.
8. Dogs must be under complete control at all times. Dogs running out of control or wildly flushing birds will not be tolerated. Do not allow your dog to interfere with other hunters. Each dog handler or owner is fully responsible for the actions of his dog. Hunters are expected to keep all birds caught by their dog, as any dog-caught bird that is then released will die within three days.
9. Hunters must immediately follow-up on all wounded birds. When a bird is winged, stay your dog until the bird is found. Leaving wounded birds without an honest attempt to retrieve them, or discarding unwanted or dog-caught birds, will result in the early termination of your hunt without refund.
10. All dogs must be kept on a leash, except when in the field. Please clean up after your dog, unless you are in the field.
11. Rental dogs may be hunted for a maximum of four hours. This time is continuous from when the dog is taken from the kennel until returned. Taking breaks does not extend this time. No more than four persons (including non-shooters) are allowed in a group with a rental dog. Never hunt another dog with a rental dog. The disciplining of rental dogs is strictly prohibited. If a rental dog misbehaves, return the dog to the kennel at once.
12. The undersigned Participant hereby agrees to abide by each and all of the foregoing Rules and Regulations, and to assume all responsibility for guests to do the same. The undersigned acknowledges that he has read and understands the foregoing Rules and 2 Regulations and has been provided with a copy of them and that a violation of these Rules and Regulations will subject the undersigned Participant or guests to civil liability to anyone whose person or property is injured as a result. The undersigned further acknowledges that hunting can be a dangerous sport, and hereby agrees to assume the risk attendant thereupon and further agrees to assert no claims against the Preserve or landowners, or their agents or employees, for death or injury from accidents occurring to the undersigned or his property in or about the Preserve from any cause other than willful or intentional misconduct, including negligence or carelessness of the Preserve or landowners, or the agents or employees of either of them. The undersigned hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Preserve, and all landowners on whose land the hunt is conducted, harmless against any and all like claims by guests of the undersigned.
HAPPY HUNTING!
