Book without an account (guest signup)
Request a hunt without signing up first — checkout collects your name, email, and phone, and we create your account when you book.
You don't need a Birddog account before you book. The first checkout section for new visitors is Contact information — enter your First name, Last name, Email, and Phone number, and continue through checkout. If no account exists for that email, one is created with it the moment you submit. There's no separate signup step, and you don't lose your place.
How it works
- On the Confirm and pay page, fill in the Contact information section — all four fields are required, and the section explains why: "The host uses this to reach you about your request. New here? We'll create your account with this email when you book."
- Continue through Choose when to pay, Payment method, and Terms & agreements, then submit with Confirm and pay. A new email gets a new account on the spot, and your request appears in My bookings right away.
- Using an email that already has a Birddog account? Your request is submitted immediately under that account — no waiting. We email you a sign-in link that lands on My bookings, where the request is already listed.
Prefer to use your account? Click Already have an account? Sign in in the Contact information section — your dates, party, and add-ons are saved and restored when you come back, and signed-in users skip the section entirely.
The same idea applies when you inquire about a land lease: new email → account created on send; existing email → we email you a sign-in link first, then you send from your account.
