[QUOTE="Allen, post: 246597, member: 389"] Only if you charge for access. Once you do that the legal entanglements change, dramatically. This is the applicable portion: 53-08-02. Duty of care of owner. 1. Subject to the provisions of section 53-08-05, [U][B]an owner of land owes no duty of care tokeep the premises safe for entry or use by others for recreational purposes[/B][/U], regardlessof the location and nature of the recreational purposes and whether the entry or use byothers is for their own recreational purposes or is directly derived from the recreationalpurposes of other persons, or to give any warning of a dangerous condition, use,structure, or activity on such premises to persons entering for such purposes. People get hurt all the time while out hunting. Stepping in badger holes, stitches from rusty barbed wire, etc, etc. When is the last time you heard of a lawsuit in ND where a hunter sued a landowner for getting hurt on their land while hunting? In town you will get sued if you don't clean your sidewalk of ice (I know of several occasions where this happened), and I don't know of a single incident where a hunter sued, much less won, a negligence case against a landowner for rolling his ankle on a muddy creek bank.
