Frequently asked questions
Is firearms exposure treated differently on a hunting policy?
Because clients are armed in the field, firearms-handling incidents are a central exposure, and some forms address or limit them specifically. Whether a particular incident is generally intended to be covered depends on the policy language, which a licensed insurance professional can review.
Do landowners require me to carry coverage?
Leased land and outfitter agreements commonly require liability coverage and additional-insured status before guiding is permitted. The exact limits and endorsements vary by agreement, and a licensed insurance professional can arrange what the landowner asks for.
