release form? - 04/17/13 10:21 PM
I was asked by a group of people to do some gopher work in their area. Till this point I've only trapped larger farms. My question is, would one of you give me some insight as to what I should have on a release form. I would hate to get in a spot if something were to take a left turn. Thanks for the help, Kiel

Kiel - Depends on what you mean by a release form. If you are saying you'd like folks to sign off on liability regarding trapping equipment in the likelihood that someone or their dog should get into a gopher trap, that would take some legal writing and even then might not fully protect you with visiting a lawyer and spending a few bucks and hours on getting something that fits NM.
If you are talking about a contract to be sure they pay you (not what I think you mean, but just in case) many folks offer up their contracts on here, mostly through PM to folks starting out.
I'm North of you, don't use a form for p. gophers, but understand your concern. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss more local aspects, otherwise I'm sure others will chime in with some good sound info.
Liability is a concern for anyone that wants to be around 10, 20 or 30 years from now and should be everyones concern. However there are many things that can happen that folks don't anticipate, some of that is covered by insurance, others maybe not.
Can you illuminate what you concerns are a bit more? Are you worried about folks messing with equipment and getting caught, or dogs digging up traps, etc...?
Most of my gopher clients are residential, versus rural ag as you have been doing.

I would guess you are Baiting??????? If so your insurance company is your releases form.............
Isn't that what you have to sign when they give you back everything that was in your pocket at the time of incarceration?

Paul I wouldn't know. I have been lucky enough not to have been in that situation. Thank you guys for the replies. I believe HD has taken care of the question I had. Hope you all have a great day. Kiel
