Founded in 2009, the American Hunting Lease Association exists to solve one problem: protecting hunters, hunt clubs, and landowners in the growing fee hunting industry. They're not a gun store or a range—they're the organization that handles the legal and financial side of private land hunting.
The AHLA provides three core insurance products:
All policies are produced by Assured Partners and rated A+ Excellent by A.M. Best—meaning the coverage is solid and the carrier is stable.
When you buy a hunting lease policy through AHLA, you get more than just insurance. Your membership includes:
| Coverage Level | Per Occurrence | Aggregate | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $1,000,000 | $2,000,000 | Most small to mid-size clubs |
| Premium | $2,000,000 | $2,000,000 | Larger clubs, high-risk properties |
What's Covered: - Every hunter listed on your lease - Guest liability coverage - Tree stand and ATV hunting liability - Fire damage ($100,000) - Medical payments ($5,000) - Legal defense costs (even if the suit is groundless) - No deductible
What's NOT Covered: - Commercial hunting operations or subleasing - Vehicle use (non-hunting related) - Aircraft, pollution, workers comp - Intentional or criminal acts
"I'm hoping you guys will be around a long time. With times as hard as they are here, we need insurance that is fairly priced and hopefully the most important thing, there if we actually need it." – Chris Porche, The Point Hunting Club
Unlike most insurance, AHLA offers 12 master policies—one starting on the first of every month. So if your lease starts in April, you pick the April policy. Coverage begins the next business day after payment. Rates don't change based on start date, and you can renew with just a date update.
Their hunting lease template has been time-tested for over 22 years and is reviewed by attorneys representing both hunters and landowners. It's:
You don't have to submit the lease to AHLA, but you must have a written lease in place for coverage to be active.
You don't need a formal hunt club entity with bylaws. Any group of hunters can get coverage. Both hunters and landowners can purchase policies—the protection covers everyone equally.
10412 Allisonville Rd, Suite 110 Fishers, Indiana 46038 Phone: (866) 782-6330
They also operate LeaseSpotter (a resource for finding hunting leases) and run the American Hunting Lease Foundation. Check their blog (The Scope) for industry news and best practices.
If you're part of a hunt club, own land hunters want to lease, or guide hunters on private property—you need written documentation and liability coverage. AHLA gives you both at transparent, fixed rates. Coverage available in all 50 states.
