NRA Landowner Liability Release Form

Published: 9/11/2008

NRA has always encouraged hunters to act as invited guests of private landowners, and now there is a way to foster even better relations between hunters and landowners.

A new form, "Release, Hold Harmless & Indemnification," approved by NRA's General Counsel, is now available from NRA. The form frees the landowner from any liability claims due to injuries, damages, illnesses, etc., that might arise from a hunter being present on that property.

The importance of private land to hunters is well-established, but getting permission to hunt on private property has become more and more difficult in some areas since legal actions against landowners have become more common. The form is designed to alleviate fears a landowner might have about liability resulting from allowing hunters on his property. Both parties need to sign the form.

To get the form, visit http://hservices.nra.org/documents/pdf/hunterservices/hunter_landowner_agreement.pdf.

My brother and I own 103 acers of land along the Republican River in in Southwest Nebraska. We also have access to another 800 to hunt. I use the land to bring my family members to hunt on only. However, my brother does guide and charges fees. We need a liability release form to give to anyone who hunts on our land regardless of who they are.

HI, I have hunters that pay to hunt our small farm. Is it ok for me to offer this form to other farmers and landowners that want to be freed from any liabilities of the hunter.

I have a log hunting cabin that I am renting to hunters. They can hunt on my land or the national forest that's next to me. Just need some type of release form that would protect me from lawsuits. Thanks.
