You might be surprised how broad a tenant can interpret his hunting entitlements when using your forest. You need to be up front with what a lessee can and can't do on the premises when hunting game and that you have the right to conduct necessary forestry and land management work that cannot be delayed through hunting season.

LESSEES understand and agree that the premises is not leased for agricultural and grazing purposes. LESSOR reserves the right in himself/herself, his/her Agents, Contractors, Employees, Licensees, Assigns, Invitees, or Designees to enter upon any or all of the land at any time for any purpose of cruising, marking, cutting, or removing trees and timber or conducting any other acts relating thereto, and no such use by LESSOR shall constitute a violation of this lease. LESSEES and LESSOR further agree to cooperate so that the respective activities of one will not unduly interfere with the other.
