Your hunting guests are purchasing the right to use your property and land for the privilege of hunting legal wildlife game species. All considerations should be made by the hunter and tenant to avoid damage to the leased property and to improvements like fences, roads, and livestock. They also need to be careful when using fire or smokes.

LESSEES shall take proper care of the leased property, the dwellings, and all other improvements located thereon, and shall be liable to LESSOR for any damage caused to domestic livestock, fences, roads, or other property of LESSOR due to the activities of LESSEES or their guests exercising privileges under this lease.
