Anybody lease their land to hunters?
I started looking into it - but then got thinking maybe it's not worth the effort?
I guess I had my head-in-the-sand on the issue since many landowners in my area let people hunt for free - often a way of trading favors. But, seems things have changed. Many farmers in my area now are charging $2500 for one big game season for exclusive hunting rights.
I ran a free ad a few days ago and the first call I got was - what I thought - a three generation family. Grandpa, dad, and son. They walked my 80 acres of woods and fields and said they'd like to lease it. I then found out they are professional guides and want to bring other hunters here who have paid them for guided hunts. That makes me a little nervous. I don't want a never-ending circus here. Besides - I was offering the 80 acres here in central NY, along with another 50 acres in the Adirondacks - for $900 (not $2500).
Besides all that - I called my insurance agent and was warned that I'm covered only when I let people in for free. Once I charge any money I am not covered and the hunters must have their own insurance for me to be safe.
Last year I leased my farm and woods in northern Michigan to a group for $800 and had them sign a waiver claiming I could not be held responsible for anything that might go wrong (e.g. a hunting accident). Now I'm told the waiver is worthless and I am still liable.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
