[mark270wsm]

the land occupires act protects the land owner from hunting accidents... I even have a letter from the ofah saying the same thing... the insurance is 2 party ...

Not exactly.

Yes, exactly. The landowner should not leave an open well or boards with nails laying around as an example.

Nothing to do with hunting.

Well I got my home owners insurance company to write me up something on their letterhead saying how much liability insurance I have ( 2 million) and in quotes ........Covers Hunting Too.....
Plus I added the 5 million secondary insurance with my trappers license information as well, hopefully that will be enough for him.
I emailed him the info, hopefully I hear good news soon

Thanks for the update. In essence, if you have a homeowners policy it covers your hunting activities as well. No need to purchase anything else unless it is free. Wise to check your policy and the dollar limit provided. The 2 million looks pretty good.

I hope you get the permission, you have done your due diligence and shown you are a responsible guy.

Well I met up with the new owner at the farm today, he agreed to let me hunt on his property, couple of small conditions.
I will need to email him and in the email, I have to state that I will need to write, he wont be held liable if something goes wrong and that I will text him before I come out. Hopefully the text thing gets drops once he gets to know me a bit more.
He has a locked gate in place now and says he will give me a key (fingers crossed).
Seems like a nice guy. We talked for about 25 minutes, even wants me to setup some targets so he can shoot my .223 one day. Hopefully this is a start of a new friendship.
Keeping you in the loop

Got the key
Got the landowner and his son to meet me at the farm to do some target shooting this afternoon. I brought along the .22 and .223. I also brought some explosive targets, they thought it was one of the coolest things they have ever done. The dad is a pretty good shot, the son, not so much ...... I told him next time I will bring along the .270.
After we finished shooting, we talked a bit more, just before I left, he handed me the key and said, I have made him very happy.
