WHY GET COVERED
Your lease requires insurance. We make it easy.
Most landowners require hunters and hunting clubs to carry liability insurance before anyone sets foot on the property — and they'll want a certificate naming them as an additional insured. No certificate, no lease.
Hunting club liability insurance is built around how leases actually work: a signed agreement, a landowner who needs to be named, and a group of hunters who need proof of coverage in hand before opening day. Coverage starts at less than the cost of a new pair of hunting boots.
Satisfies Lease Requirements
Most landowners now require hunters and clubs to carry liability insurance and provide a certificate naming the landowner as an additional insured before anyone steps on the property. Our coverage is built to satisfy those requirements — so you're not losing a good lease because you couldn't get proof of insurance in time.
Covers the Whole Club
Hunting club liability insurance covers the group, not just an individual hunter. Multiple members, shared access, and a single policy that works for everyone on the lease — not a generic sportsman's policy that was never designed for a club arrangement.
Instant Proof of Coverage
Once your application is approved, a certificate of insurance is issued the same day and emailed to everyone named on the policy — including the landowner — so you have proof of coverage in hand before you need to be in the field.
REAL PROTECTION
Lease the land. We'll cover the risk.
From the first morning glassing to the last day of the season, every hour on leased land is time the liability exposure is real. Coverage built for hunting leases handles what a standard sportsman's policy doesn't — so you're protected wherever the hunt takes you.
Leasing in New York
New York corn comes off in October and November, right as whitetail season peaks and every dairy and crop farm in the county starts getting phone calls. Roughly three-quarters of the state is private, so a lease is how you get in. Landowners here have learned to ask for a current liability policy and additional insured status before granting access. Hunting lease insurance for New York hunters answers both requests at once and gets you through the gate.
Frequently Asked Questions
You need a hunting lease liability policy that names your landowner as an additional insured, with a certificate of insurance you can hand them before the season starts. LandTrust issues the certificate the same day your application is approved and emails it directly to everyone named on the policy — including the landowner.
Yes — hunting club liability insurance is designed to cover the group on a shared lease. All members hunt under the same policy, and the landowner is named as an additional insured on the certificate. You don't need a separate policy for each club member.
An additional insured is a party — typically the landowner — who is named on your liability policy and covered by it in the event of a claim arising from your hunting activity on their property. Most landowners require it because it gives them direct protection from the hunter's policy if something goes wrong during the lease, rather than having to pursue a separate claim.
A liability claim can reach every hunter named on the lease agreement, not just the person who was injured or who caused the accident. Hunting club liability insurance covers bodily injury claims arising from hunting activity — including legal defense costs — so the claim doesn't come back to you or your club out of pocket.
