Hey guys, i saw a post about this not too long ago and used the search feature to no avail...can anyone help me out?
I have a buddy who is trying to get a piece of ground to hunt and the owner is hesitant because of liability reasons. I think if he takes a form to him he will be more willing.
Thanks in advance!

Mike,check your state code. I was running into the same problem here in Iowa until I found in the state code where it states that if you allow someone to use your property for recreational purposes to include hunting and do not charge them a fee to do so, you are not liable as the landowner for any injuries they incur. However, if you charge them (lease or hunting fee) and they are hurt, then the landowner is liable for injury or death. I'd do it for you, but us Iowegians aren't that friendly.

On page 2 do you cut that and keep one and give the other to the land owner?
It's actually a 1 page document with the info on both sides. You keep thetop, landowner keeps the bottom
Hey, that's mine! LOL Glad to see people are still using it. As Danny said, it is supposed to be printed front and back, and then you split it in half....you keeping one half and the landowner keeping the other.
It is law in connecticut, and I just make a copy of the section right off the DEP website to show to landowners. You should check your state laws, you might be all set.
Got a question with regards to liability...What if you injure someone on the property or accidentially damage something on the property, where does the liability fall then?
