That sounds well & good and I am glad you freely let other use your land.But here in PA a land owner was successfully sued for letting a man who later accidentally shot a girl, hunt his land.
Law suits will be the next big problemfor private land owners.
We don't want to go there with law suits. When that starts to happen then hunting as we know it will cease to exist.I know that issue is on the minds of some land owners and often they are reluctant to grant permission due to the fact that someone may come back on them. Some places have right on the permission form that the land owner is free of all obligation and responsibility for the hunter's actions.
