Trust & safety

Hunting someone else's land takes trust on both sides. Here's what we check, what we ask of everyone, and what to do if something's wrong.

How we verify listings

  1. Right to list. Every host proves they own the land, lease hunting rights that allow subleasing, or have the owner's written permission, with a tax bill, deed, lease, or signed permission letter. A person reviews it before the listing goes live.
  2. County records. Where parcel data is available, we compare the county's owner of record to the host's legal name automatically.
  3. Verified on site. Hosts can stand on the property with their phone; we check the GPS fix falls inside the property lines and collect a live photo. Listings that pass show a badge.
  4. Commitments. Hosts confirm their right to list, accuracy, state law compliance (including lease licenses like Texas's), liability insurance, and stand safety.
  5. Back into review when it matters. If a host redraws the property lines or changes their proof, the listing is reviewed again.

Verification lowers risk but can't guarantee every host's rights. Report anything that looks wrong.

Every guest, every booking

Guests give their hunting license state and number at checkout and sign a release of liability and assumption of risk. Hosts see those details for their bookings.

Reviews from real trips

Only guests who completed a booking can review it, once, within 30 days.

Pay on StandHopper

Book and pay through StandHopper. Card details go to our payment processor and never touch our servers, and the cancellation policy only covers bookings made here. If a host asks you to pay outside the site, report it.

Stand safety

Most serious hunting injuries are tree stand falls. Wear a full-body harness and stay connected from the ground up. Read the safety guide.
