Default RE: Hunting Land Laws/Customs

One other thing to consider is this lawsuit happy environment we all find ourselves living in, is that if someone is hunting on your property, with your knowledge, with or without your permission, you could be found neglegent if anything happened to them. They can claim that you knew they were there, even though they had not asked for rights, and you did not tell them to leave. That means that you accepted the responsibility for them andof their actions. And if they got hurt or hurt someone else, you could be in a bind.

Think I am kidding? Pick up a newspaper. And if you leave a note on their stand, that is evidence of your knowledge and approvial. I can't say I would ever let people I did not know, and who never came to me for tresspass rights or hunting rights, keep hunting on my land once I got wind of it. Friends, family, absolutely. Friends of friends and family , sure. Anyone else, people I don't know, better try to seek me out and get to know me. If you want on my land, I would think it would be the least you could and should do. And maybe a few chores too.
