We were told from ot DNR office that we assume no responsiblity when we allow hunters onto out land however we do assume some responsiblity by letting them use our stands. We just simply made up a form for the parent to sign state that they would not hold us responsible. It was also manditory that the kids and parents if they went along had health insurence. Thankfully we had no problems.Our stands vary in distance depending on the area it is placeed. We have some very thick cedar and spruce swamps that the stands are 200 yards apart and then the stands that are on the ridges are a bit further. But no closer then 200 yards. In those stands that are 200yards you are lucky if you can shoot 50 yards. They are all at least 10 ft off the ground.
