By signing below, I hereby acknowledge that I
have knowingly and willingly entered into a
Hunting Lease with Cross Texas Outfitters
through The Texas A&M University System
(“TAMUS”) and/or the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station (“TAES”). I understand the
terms of the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Lease, and agree to abide by such terms.
HUNTER’S RELEASE OF LIABILITY
In consideration for receiving permission to
hunt on property owned or leased by Cross Texas
Outfitters through The Texas A&M University
System, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and
covenant not to sue, and agree harmless for any
and all purposes Cross Texas Outfitters or The
Texas A&M University System and the Board of
Regents for The Texas A&M University System, and
their officers, servants, agents, volunteers, or
employees (herein referred to as RELEASES) from
any and all liabilities, claims, demands or
injuries, including death, that may be sustained
by me while participating in such activity, or
while on the premises owned or leased by
RELEASES, including injuries sustained as a
result of the negligence of RELEASES.
I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any
risks of loss, property damage, or personal
injury, including death, which may be sustained
by me as a result of participating in said
activity, including injuries sustained as a
result of the negligence of RELEASES.
I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the RELEASES for any loss, liability, damage or
costs, including court costs and attorney’s
fees, which may occur as a result of my
participation in said activity, including
injuries sustained as a result of the negligence
of RELEASES.
HUNTING RULES
By signing below, I hereby agree to abide by and
adhere to the following hunting rules while I am
present on the hunting lease property:
1. To have a valid Texas hunting license (along
with a Texas Hunter Education Training
Certificate if required by Texas Parks and
Wildlife rules and regulations) applicable to
the type of game for which I am being allowed to
hunt, and to carry such hunting documents with
me at all times (including while on a hunt). I
agree to provide the hunting license number to
Cross Texas Outfitters, and allow them to
release such number to a third party, including
TAMUS and/or TAES and a game warden.
2. To have a valid driver’s license or
identification card, and to carry such drivers
license or identification card with me at all
times (including while on hunt). I agree to
provide the drivers license number to Cross
Texas Outfitters, and allow them to release such
number to a third party, including TAMUS and/or
TAES and a game warden.
3. Prior to hunting, I will check-in with Cross
Texas Outfitters personnel on-site or at an area
designated by a Cross Texas Outfitters Manager,
and follow all instructions provided.
4. Not to interfere with livestock and
out-of-season game.
5. To replace, or reimburse the cost of, any
personal property, research equipment,
livestock, fences, gates, or other property
destroyed as a result of my actions or the
actions of my guests.
6. To observe safe weapon handling, including
but not limited to:
a. Unloading all firearms before attempting to
cross a cattle guard, climb over, through or
under a fence, cross a ditch, gully, or arroyo,
or climb any obstacle or descend any decline.
b. Unloading all firearms while in a vehicle and
not shooting from a vehicle or across a road.
c. Keeping all firearms unloaded while in camp
or not actively hunting.
7. There will be no drinking of alcoholic
beverages in the field. If alcohol is consumed
during the daytime hours, it is up to the staff
of Cross Texas Outfitters to decide whether or
not to allow the hunter to hunt that day.
8. Hunters will be dropped off at their blind
and will be expected to remain in the blind and
not hunt on foot. If you wound an animal, do not
attempt to track it on your own. It is very easy
to get turned around and lose your bearings.
Stay in your blind and wait for a guide to
assist you in tracking your deer.
9. Hunters are expected to not leave trash in
the field or in the blinds.
10. To follow all general procedures, rules, and
regulations regarding hunting, including
applicable Texas hunting rules and regulations
(available online at the Texas Parks and
Wildlife website
www.tpwd.state.tx.us).
I have read and understand the hunting rules and
agree to abide by and follow such rules. I
understand and accept that violation of any of
these rules may result in expulsion from the
hunting site and termination of my Hunting Lease
without reimbursement for any lease rental paid
(including any prepaid amounts).
