Prior to allowing individuals access to my land for hunting, I did up an agreement to cover my @ss. Does this about do it?

You don't color outside of the lines much, do you?
If they are not well enough known to trust them without a signed disclaimer...just say 'no hunting'
 
If I had one of these for every owner I had permission from I would need to carry a binder. A no hunting/trespassing sign with a telephone # on works around here. Most people willing to go through the process of getting your permission won't cause problems. Road hunters without permission are a different story.

To answer the op question I have no idea if this will cover you as I don't know what you want to be covered from?
 
Seems quite formal , I just tell hunters who ask permission to hunt on my property to follow four rules ; 1) do not tear up the trails , 2 ) do not start a forest fire , 3) do not leave garbage behind 4) if using a tree stand , do not leave spikes in the trees.....
 
I have had two bad run in's with hunters, first off you always get the I have permission, from a guy about ten years ago, or my personal best of I always hunt here, and then the muzzel direction control starts to become careless. Now I do not f-around I take pictures and call the RCMP everytime and let the cop's sort it out. Take pictures of vehicle people firearms and let them know that you call they all leave very quickly, my phone GPS marks date and time stampes each picture so no disputing were it was taken. Easier than asking them to sign a Waiver.
 
My regional government requires written permission to be on you when hunting someone's property.

Looks good to me. I may add that the hunter has some kind of liability insurance. I get $2M from OFAH. Depending on the species, I'd move the expiry date to the end of season rather than New Years.
 
Waivers aren't legally binding in Canada, as I recall. And a landowner has no jurisdiction to issue a permit of any kind. Written permission, sure. That's not a permit. Law enforcement won't give a rat's buttocks what a guy shows 'em either.
How you planning on measuring/enforcing the 90 degrees thing? Or proving that? Just curious.
Written permission is required everywhere in Ontario, but that isn't a waiver or permit.
 
Ray me son............
The act of issuing, signing and accepting this form of permissance
makes it an understanding of what is expected by those allowed
to roam the owner's private property.
It makes for a gentleman's agreement with conditions of the one
wishing to hunt on private property.
Given the chit that happens out in the bush and what I've come bare
to witness, I wouldn't argue an iota of what the land owner is asking
to be allowed to hunt there.
Pizz enuff of these land owners awf and best you find a lake to fish in.

The spirit of this 90 degree thing is perhaps a complicated way of saying "don't shoot towards the house".
I want to let people access the land but I want to have the final say on who, when and well; It's my land and my rules. Not meaning to sound like a d1ck, but that's the way she goes. -And since some fields here can go for $5000.00 per hunting season, a free field with a few simple rules is probably not too bad.

Cheerz,

The Grinch... ;)
 
I am a man of my word.

I give permission of the same type of men/women, and hunt on the same type of mens/womens land. Eye contact and some palaver and we're on the same page.


The people that want a form like that filled out before you can hunt on their property aren't the type of people I would trust.

Also, if someone showed up with a form like that asking hunting permission.....no thanks
 
It sounds like something a Wall st lawyer would have drafted. Seems way to overpowering for anything I'd be interested in signing for a landowner.
Ive had spoken permission from a few landowners, and there has never been any problems at all.
 
Was hunting opening day on one of my families farms, some guy pulls up and asks if I have permission to hunt there, I guess he got permission to hunt from my uncles and though he owned the place now lol. Once I informed him I co owned the property he got real polite! Haha
