Terms of Service
Effective Date: June 20, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of brawlercreekranch.com and any hunting, lodging, or recreational services provided by Brawler Creek Ranch, owned by Mike Dragich / Blue Collar Brawler (“we,” “us,” or “our”), located at 4990 Canal Road, Elkton, FL 32033. By using this site or booking a service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Booking Requests
Submitting a booking request through our website does not guarantee a reservation. All bookings are confirmed only after we contact you, agree on a date and hunt type, and receive a deposit. We reserve the right to accept or decline any booking request at our sole discretion.
2. Deposits
A deposit is required to hold your reservation date. The deposit amount will be communicated to you at time of booking confirmation. Deposits are applied toward the total cost of your hunt or lodging package. We will provide deposit instructions via phone or email after reviewing your inquiry.
3. Cancellations and Rescheduling
Guest-initiated cancellations: If you cancel more than 30 days before your scheduled hunt, your deposit will be applied as a credit toward a future booking within 12 months. Cancellations within 30 days of the hunt date forfeit the deposit unless we are able to rebook the slot. We will make a good-faith effort to reschedule when possible.
Ranch-initiated cancellations: In the unlikely event we must cancel due to unsafe weather, emergency, or circumstances beyond our control, we will offer a full rescheduling option or a full refund of your deposit.
4. Hunt Policies and Safety
- All guests must comply with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regulations.
- A valid Florida nuisance alligator license (approximately $52, obtained through FWC) is required for alligator hunts and is the guest’s responsibility to obtain prior to the hunt.
- All guests must follow guide instructions at all times. Failure to comply with safety rules may result in removal from the property with no refund.
- Guests must be of legal age (or accompanied by a legal guardian) to participate in hunts.
- Alcohol consumption during an active hunt is prohibited.
- Guests are responsible for any fines, citations, or penalties arising from their own failure to comply with applicable laws.
5. Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability
Hunting and outdoor activities involve inherent risks including but not limited to injury, illness, property damage, or death. By booking a hunt or lodging stay at Brawler Creek Ranch, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with your participation. You agree that Brawler Creek Ranch, Mike Dragich, and associated staff are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your participation in any activity on the property, except where prohibited by law. A liability waiver will be required to be signed on or before arrival.
6. Lodging
