Texas Outdoor Insurance

Livestock owners, ranchers, and farmers alike should take extra caution to protect their investment with livestock insurance.

Statistics show that the number of hunters who went afield in 2010 was estimated to be 16.3 million. Of that total, approximately 8,122 sustained injuries, or 50 per 100,000 participants, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

While landowners and farmers are finding that leasing their land out during hunting season can help them to earn additional income, landowners should take steps to protect themselves from increased liabilities that comes from leasing out land.

According to Texas Outdoor Insurance, property owners who lease their land to hunters have a responsibility to provide hunters on their property a reasonable duty of care.

According to Outdoor Underwriters, more than 20 million people will participate in hunting sometime during the season.

When it comes to hunting club safety and accident prevention, Texas Outdoor Insurance offers valuable suggestions to help prevent accidents –as well as costly litigation.

Liability lawsuits are among the most costly type of litigation today.

Texas hunters have a reason to be optimistic this hunting season.

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife Associated Recreation, over 90 million Americans hunt, fish or watch wildlife.

In the past ten years, liability insurance has come to be a standard hunting lease requirement.
