Outline

The Indiana Hunting Permission form serves as a crucial document for individuals seeking to engage in hunting or related activities on privately owned land. This form is rooted in Indiana law, specifically IC 14-22-10-1, which mandates that no person may hunt on private property without the explicit consent of the landowner or tenant. It underscores the importance of securing permission to ensure that both hunters and landowners are protected under the law. The form also addresses the concept of agritourism, as outlined in IC 34-31-9, which recognizes hunting and fishing as natural resource-based activities that can be offered to participants. A significant aspect of this form is the acknowledgment of inherent risks associated with agritourism activities, which include potential injuries related to the land, equipment, and animals involved. Participants must understand that by signing the form, they assume these risks, thereby releasing the landowner from liability for injuries or death resulting from such activities. Additionally, the form includes sections for essential information, such as the names and signatures of both the participant and the landowner, as well as details about permitted activities and any specific restrictions. This comprehensive approach not only facilitates responsible hunting practices but also fosters a mutual understanding between hunters and landowners regarding safety and liability.

Under IC 34‐31‐9, you are not liable for the injury or death of someone participating in natural resource‐ based activities on your property if the death or injury results from the inherent risks of such activity. Inherent risks include risks of injury inherent to land, equipment, and animals as well as the potential for the participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to their injury or death, or for other participants to act in a manner that may cause their injury or death.
