RELEASE OF LIABILITY, HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
I understand that during my participation in this Hunt, I may be exposed to a variety of hazards and risks, foreseen or unforeseen, which are inherent in each Hunt and cannot be eliminated without destroying the unique character of the
Hunt. I agree that it is not a necessity for me to hunt or shoot, and I do so voluntarily for my pleasure and entertainment.
These inherent risks include but are not limited to, the dangers of serious personal injury, property damage, and catastrophic injury from exposure to the hazards of firearms or bow and arrow-related incidents, and the Covey Quest, LLC, has not tried to contradict or minimize my understanding of these risks.
I know that injuries and damages can occur due to natural causes or activities of other persons, including tripping, stumbling, falling, slipping, or climbing into stands. I understand that risks of such injuries and damages are involved in hunting and I appreciate that I may have to exercise extra care for my person and others around me in the face of such hazards. I assume full responsibility for staying away from obvious risks, and all objects that could harm me, whether natural or man-made, which are incidental to the operation of a hunting preserve, farm, or unattended country property.
The Hunt officially begins and ends with entering and leaving Covey Quest Preserve LLC at 215 Lbale Road Greensburg KY 42743. The Hunt does not include carpooling, transportation, or transit to and from the disclosed location,

When going afield, it's important to refresh the basics of gun safety before each hunting season as taught by the National Shooting Sports Foundation:
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use.
Don't rely on your gun's safety.
Be sure of your target and what's beyond it.
Use proper ammunition.
If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle it with care.
Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.
Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.
Don't alter or modify your gun and have it serviced regularly.
Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using.
