Some places have right on the permission form that the land owner is free of all obligation and responsibility for the hunter's actions.
That is the way it is in Maryland. The permission form has this on it:
In return for the privilege of hunting and/or trapping on this property, I agree to obey the laws, to observe all safety precautions and practices, to take every precaution against fire, and to assume all responsibility and liability for my person and my property while on the landowners property.
