Questions about allowing a hunter to cross my property?
Posted on 10/9/26 at 11:04 am

I had a guy knock on my door and introduce himself. He has permission from the landowner behind me to bow hunt their property and it is land locked. He was wondering if I would allow him to cross my property to access it. On the surface I have no issue with this, more the merrier when it comes to stuff like this. But I do not know this guy at all. He offered to get any document drawn up to protect me from liability, which is my only concern.
Any advice would be appreciated.

How well do you know the landowner behind you? I wouldn't be as concerned if he sticks to bow hunting, but I wouldn't want some random I didn't know crossing land if they're hunting with rifles. I might specify certain days/times you would allow access.

You're already protected from liability if he isnt compensating you for the access.
Pretty sure all 50 states have a version of this.

Be real careful, if you grant access to a land locked property it might be considered as a right of way and then you lose

Personally I don't, I do know of the family. I let one of the family member access it on foot years ago, before they had it clear cut. All of the family lives in Texas now.

How did they get the lumber out? The hunter should use the legal easement.

Exactly. Which is why I also suggested putting specific times and dates that entry is allowed. Something like Friday-Sunday during the dates of bow hunting season only.

Don’t you have to allow access?
From the closest direction available?
I’m not sure about that. I Was watching some people argue over it on YouTube a while back….

I would either just say no or consult a lawyer regarding this to draw up a locktight agreement.
I do not allow any access to my property except family as I’ve had to deal with people who start believing they have some sort of right to my property.

Put the permission in writing with a description of exactly what you're permitting him to do and a firm date when that permission expires.
He can buy liability insurance very cheaply naming you as additional insured.

My only concern would be who he brings with him. I would stipulate who has access. He may be salt if the earth but bring a teenager who then brings all his buddies.
I would be very clear what his path of ingress and egress are, times allowed, etc and exactly who is allowed. Any deviation will result in revoked privileges
