Guest Release And Hold Harmless Agreement

This is required for every guest that will set foot on any field or clubhouse grounds. Please read carefully.

• Release of Liability, Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement – Guest
• I, the undersigned, in consideration for allowing me to be a guest of Butte City Hunting Club, Inc. (BCHC) and also for allowing me to utilize Club facilities and engage in outdoor activities including hunting, shooting, shing, camping, etcetera upon land owned by other parties who have made their land available to BCHC, agree to Release and Hold Harmless all said landowners or lessors from all liability for any injury to me, regardless of the severity or manner in which the injury is sustained, and also I agree to waive all rights to make any claim against BCHC, the landowners or lessors they refer me to, for any property damage or loss which I sustain.
• I am fully aware that hunting and shooting guns and bows are very dangerous and hazardous sports which contain inherent risks, including, but not limited to the risk of personal injury, including catastrophic injury, death, or property damage. If I sustain injury or loss while on the above property resulting from guns or arrows, whether by myself or other people, who I may or may not know, who they are or where they are, I agree to release BCHC and the landowners or lessors from all liability; furthermore, I am aware that there are many other ways in which I can be injured or sustain property damage while on the landowners’ property, and I assume full responsibility for my actions which may result in injury, death, or property loss or damage.
• I am aware of injuries, death and property damage which can result from tripping, stumbling, falling, slipping, and climbing due to my own negligence or lack of skill in navigating variations in terrain or weather conditions; or from surface or subsurface snow, ice, ruts, bumps, steep banks, ditches, gullies, electric fence, barbed wire fence, snakes, ticks, spiders, mosquitoes, parasites, bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, insects, ponds, rivers, creeks, roads, livestock, aggressive animals, and all similar hazards whether mentioned or not. All BCHC used land has ticks, and I am fully aware these ticks can infect me with Lyme Disease. I also acknowledge that waterfowl and upland game, among other species, may be exposed to and carry various forms of Avian Influenza or other diseases to which I may be exposed. I will not hold BCHC or the landowners or lessors responsible for any injury or damage I sustain from any of these hazards.
• I understand there will be other people in the same vicinity, even though I may not see them; they will have guns and bows and be actively hunting. I understand that I may be shot by someone else, and if I am, I agree to waive my rights to recover damages from the landowners or lessors upon whose land I am and from the individual responsible for the injury.
• I am fully aware of the danger to my person and property resulting from my presence in an area with hazardous conditions, and I am willing to assume all these risks and hold only myself responsible in the event I sustain injury, death, or property loss—or if I cause such harm to someone else.
• I agree that it is not a necessity for me to hunt or shoot, and I do so voluntarily for my own personal pleasure and entertainment.
• I have willingly agreed to release BCHC and the landowners or lessors they have referred me to from all liability resulting from my actions or the actions of others while on the landowners’ or lessors’ property.
• I understand I am giving up important rights by contractually agreeing not to sue or make claims against BCHC and their affiliated landowners or lessors for injuries, death, or property damage resulting from numerous hazards, which may or may not involve guns or bows.
• I understand there are many other places where I am free to hunt, shoot, camp, etc., where this release of liability is not required, but I have freely chosen to hunt and shoot at the places where it is.
• I also agree that I have been given the right to seek an attorney's opinion before signing this agreement, and if I have not done so, it is because I have chosen not to, and nothing has been said or implied that an attorney’s counsel was unnecessary. I acknowledge that attorneys should be consulted before signing contracts, and this is a contract.
• I have completely read this agreement, understand it thoroughly, and fully agree with its content and warnings regarding potential hazards from my hunting activities or presence on land owned by parties referred by BCHC. I agree to release from liability BCHC and all said landowners or lessors, and to assume full responsibility for any injury, death, or property damage sustained or caused during my visit to their property.
• EXECUTION: Guests, by signing below, agree that they have read, understand and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Hunting License Agreement at all times while on the Premises.
