The only duty a landowner owes hunters is to warn them of known hazards. No money is exchanged and there is no contract. Beyond that, the hunter assumes all risks. Just because someone gives approval to hunt, that doesn’t imply that tree stands are included. Nor does it imply the landowner will patrol the property and supervise the other idiots out there wanting to shoot something. This legislation is good old fashioned common sense and long overdue.

If a tree falls on a hunter in the woods, and nobody sees it fall, is the owner of the property still liable? ;)
