    Default Permission and Insurance UPDATE

    One of the landowners sold their property. The new owner came from the city and is a little hesitant to allow hunting on his property. He is worried about the legal ramifications if something goes wrong. He seems like a nice guy, just very nervous about the idea of someone hunting.
    I told him I have insurance. He would like to see proof of that. How can I show him proof of insurance. I am a member of OFAH and also a licensed trapper (OFMF).
    I hear and read about liability coverage from the two but not sure how I can show/convince the landowner he has nothing to worry about.
    Any help/guidance would be appreciated. Would really hate to loose out on this property because I didn't do a good job showing him my insurance proof.
    So I guess I am asking, how can I show him proof of coverage. Are their forms I can download.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can just down load the QR code from OFAH and you're good to go.
    Ya couldn't resit before the usuals chime in now that it was said lets leave it at that

    So had to recheck my card to be sure and yes on the back of the card issued by OFAH declaring insurance coverage of $5,00,000 and one accidental death and dismemberment of $5,000

    Show him your OFAH membership card with a link to their website. All the information can be found there. Good luck.

    When you get your OFMF license there's a wallet sized membership card with your information and on the back it has the details about your insurance policy while trapping, fur harvesting and nuisance animal control activities.

    So I guess for clarification purposes ................ is that 5,000,000 liability insurance in place to keep the landowner from being liable while hunting on his place.

    I may be off base here but I am pretty sure from past threads that one member being an "insurance guy" was in his opinion anyone who might seek a claim or tort would go after the hunters home insurance first and that the OFAH insurance would be secondary. The OFAH do now have an insurance policy to kick in first but only if you had no home insurance and if you have home liability it would be additional insurance.
