Hunting is a dangerous activity and that fact should be acknowledged by each hunter accompanying the hunter's signature. The hunter should assume all the risks involved as his own responsibility. He should then agree to hold the Lessor harmless against all claims of loss, damages and liability. The forest owner should understand that this still does not completely eliminate all liability on his or her part.

LESSEES agree to protect and defend indemnity and hold LESSOR blameless from any and all liability, loss, damage, personal injury (including death), claims, demands, causes of action of every kind and character, without limit and without regard to the cause or causes thereof or the negligence of any party or parties arising in connection herewith in favor of: 1) any LESSEES hereto; 2) any employees of LESSEES; 3) any business invitees of LESSEES; 4) any guests of LESSEES; and 5) any person who comes to the lease premises with the expressed or implied permission of LESSEES.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto caused this Agreement to be properly executed this __ day of __, 20 __.

LESSOR: LESSEES:

1. _______________ ____________
2. _______________ ____________
3. _______________ ____________
4. _______________ ____________

NOTE: If the hunting group is not incorporated, each member should sign the lease agreement. It is also suggested you put this liability release on the same page as the signatures and that each lessee has read and understands its meaning.
