What’s a lease worth?

[Loyalist Dave]

BTW, when you pay for a lease, i believe that the landowner is no longer liable in case of an accident.

This depends on the lease...., and the state

Often a hunter gets a simple,very basic agreement, with the specified lease cost listed. In many states, that isn't enough to release the land owner from liability for some types of accidents.

Often too, IF the landowner has insurance on the property, that's for the land owner and "guests". When you lease the land, many states then consider that land now a "commercial property" since the landowner is now gaining money for it's use, and if the landowner does not have "commercial property insurance" then it's likely the landowner is not insured for those same accidents.

I'd gladly pay $100/year just for a place to shoot, much less hunt. Some of you country folks are spoiled...

Not worth buying for that lease price.
