Arrangements granting temporary access to tracts within the state for the purpose of pursuing game are a common practice. These agreements, typically formalized through a written contract, allow individuals or groups to utilize private or sometimes public property for hunting activities during specified periods, often coinciding with hunting seasons. Payments are made to the landowner in exchange for these hunting privileges.
Such agreements provide opportunities for outdoor recreation and wildlife management, particularly in regions where public access to hunting grounds is limited. Landowners benefit through supplementary income and potential assistance with habitat management practices. Historically, these arrangements have played a role in maintaining sustainable hunting practices and fostering relationships between hunters and landowners.
