Hey Club Owners -
The Quick Scoop: Don't Let This Be You 😬
A recent event on Rayonier land involved the following…a new club member skipped the e-waiver, brought guests, and you guessed it... the whole crew got stopped by local law enforcement while on Rayonier land. When LE reached out to us to verify they had permission to be on the land, we could not verify the individuals were related to the Hunt Club (via having an e-waiver and showing up on the club roster). As a result, law enforcement awarded the group citations for trespassing. It was an unfortunate, but avoidable outcome.
How can you help your Club stay clear of this issue?
Waivers are required: EVERY adult (members AND guests) must sign a waiver. It's in your contract, and it's required BEFORE they use the land.
Why We Do It: It's one way we manage risk (think frivolous lawsuits) and it's also a super simple way for us to tell law enforcement, "Yep, they have permission to be on Rayonier land."
The Risks of Skipping It: Ignoring the waiver requirement puts the Club and individuals at risk:
Things can escalate quickly. If an issue occurs on the land, you can bet our risk folks are going to ask for the waivers. If your club can’t produce that homework, it will complicate things for the club and Rayonier.
Technically - failure to complete waivers is a breach of contract and could result in the loss of your license all together.
If law enforcement can’t verify that a person has lawful permission to use the land (via a waiver), they can be considered a trespasser (as shown in the story above).
Lastly - You and/or the Club could be on the hook for any drama or injuries caused by unauthorized folks.

The bottom line...
Keep it simple and make sure everyone completes that e-waiver/invitation. It’s simple, easy and can be done on a smartphone or computer in real time. Considering the recent story - we hope this email will encourage you to hop over to your account at www.rayonierhunting.com and ensure your club roster is up-to-date.
