Dave: a few thoughts based on experiences on both sides of this--as mentioned, check on your liability, and, at a minimum, include a waiver of liability in your requirements signed by every hunter before they're allowed to hunt there--it's at least a first step in protecting yourself. Make sure boundaries are clearly spelled out, marked, and understood. Have a system in place for wounded deer retrieval if they go off your land, preferably reciprocal with the surrounding owners. Make sure the guest policies are clear and in writing--it's one thing for them to bring a friend, it's quite another to bring a gang of dozen "guests" onto your property. Make sure there's an understanding, preferably in writing, about permanent stands--again, having seen both sides, it's best to make sure everyone knows what is acceptable--I've seen permanent stands erected by lessees that would make a decent house, and the time, cost and effort going into something like that means it's not something to be undertaken lightly, nor can it be easily removed. Fine if this is a long-term agreement, but if not, it represents considerable expense to both build and remove, and it's best if everyone knows what is and isn't acceptable going in. Make sure if you want to hunt the property yourself that you've spelled that out--again, from both sides, it's one thing for the landowner to take a deer off his own land, it's quite another for him to shoot the same trophies his lessees are paying good money to hunt or to invite every friend, neighbor, and relative he knows to hunt the land that's being leased. Make sure your lessees are aware of what they can and can't do to remove trespassers--do they call you, do they call the wardens, do they tell them to leave, etc. etc. Having all of this spelled out ahead of time in writing can save many headaches later on.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
