These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern all bookings, hunting experiences, accommodations, and activities (“Services”) provided by Union Hill Ranches (“Union Hill,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) located in Kopperl, Texas. By confirming a reservation, participating in any activity on the ranch, or entering our premises, you (“Guest,” “you,” or “your”) acknowledge and agree to abide by the following Terms.

1. Reservations, Deposits & Payment

  • All hunts require a non-refundable deposit of the total anticipated hunt cost at the time of booking to secure your reservation. Final balances are due upon check-out.
  • Prices are subject to change and may vary depending on the specific animal, class, or availability. Exceptional animals may carry premium pricing.
  • Gratuities are not included in pricing but are appreciated. A typical gratuity range is 10–20% of your total hunt, to be divided among your guide, chef, skinners, and other support staff.

2. Hunt Classification & Trophy Determination

  • All animal categories and classifications (trophy vs. management, etc.) are at the sole discretion of Union Hill Ranches’ guides and management.
  • Any animal wounded or lost will be treated as harvested and charged the full trophy fee, regardless of recovery. The guide’s determination prevails in all such matters.

3. Firearm & Safety Policy

  • Upon arrival, all guests must test-fire their weapon of choice under the supervision of Union Hill administrative personnel before going afield.
  • All firearms must be unloaded before entering or exiting hunting blinds or vehicles.
  • Bolts and chambers must remain open when firearms are transported in ranch vehicles.
  • Guests are solely responsible for clearly identifying their target and what lies beyond before discharging any weapon.
  • No alcohol may be consumed by any guest, guide, or staff on the same day as a scheduled hunt until all hunting activities have concluded for that day.

4. Conduct & Code of Behavior

To maintain a respectful, safe, and enjoyable environment for all:

  • Excessive drinking, disruptive behavior, profanity, or vulgarity will not be tolerated.
  • Union Hill Ranch reserves the right to terminate any hunt or stay without refund for any behavior deemed unsafe, unlawful, or inappropriate by management.
  • Guests must respect all staff, property, and fellow guests at all times.
  • “What’s on the ranch stays on the ranch.” No items may be removed without written permission from Union Hill ownership.

5. Access, Supervision & Ranch Guidelines

  • Upon arrival, all guests must check in with Union Hill personnel.
  • Only Union Hill owners, partners, or staff may operate gate locks. Gates remain locked at all times.
  • No guest may be on ranch property without a staff member present, unless explicitly authorized by ownership.
  • If left alone in a blind while a guide attends to other matters, guests must remain in or immediately near their assigned blind and may not walk the ranch unaccompanied.

6. Harvest Logging & Licensing

  • A photo must be taken of every animal harvested, and all harvested animals must be logged in the ranch records.
  • All wounded animals are considered dead and will be logged and charged accordingly.
  • All hunters are required to possess a valid Texas hunting license and must carry it with them at all times while on the ranch. It is your responsibility to obtain any applicable licenses or permits before arrival.
  • All local, state, and federal hunting laws and regulations must be followed without exception.

7. Accommodations & Occupancy

  • Lodging prices are based on double occupancy unless otherwise specified. Additional fees may apply for single occupancy or upgrades.
  • Lodging is provided as part of the overall Union Hill Ranch experience and is subject to availability at the time of booking.

8. Assumption of Risk & Waivers

All guests will be required to sign a Release of Liability and Waiver Agreement prior to participating in any activity. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of your reservation without refund.

Hunting and outdoor recreational activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to injury, death, or property damage. By participating, you voluntarily assume all associated risks.
