    Mine doesn't. With AMP. However, boss has just been getting additional cover on our behalf, and the broker said he had no problem getting insurance that will cover in the event of a hunting incident. Waiting to hear back from him, cos if that's the case and the price difference isn't much I will be changing.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Good discussion guys. This has prompted me to now look into the cover my policies provide to determine whether hunting is an acknowledged activity.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yup! But they should still be up my ass somewhere!

    Do you want those 30 bullet holes fixed on your skin or do you plan to use it as a camp shower?

    Ditto for me.

    This is a good topic. A company I worked for had a small insurance policy for its workers and I put down that I did a wee bit of hunting and the paper work tripled! Got cover but I was a little surprised that it was classed as dangerous or "high risk" When you look at the number of deaths I would imagine it shouldn't be classed as dangerous or high risk. I would imagine riding a bike to the shops would be more high risk, or even driving. If anything - if we had private health insurance like in America then I guess it should be higher due to injuries. I personally can't justify having life insurance at the moment

    That's right Grunta. Hunting classed as a high risk is a bit over the top. If it truly was, your FAO would issue you with a bullet proof vest on approving your firearm license. It also depends on the average frequency of hunting trips per year on if they will cover you.

    I wonder what going to war is classed as (Death sentence?)

    Pretty much anyone in the armed forces who heads offshore is just about impossible to cover. They Armed forces have a government backed scheme to make up for it.
    Hunting isn't considered a high risk activity by most unless you are scaling cliffs to get there or poppin shots out of a helicopter.
