Once we are contacted by a suburban property owner concering nuisance deer on
their properties, we like to make sure that there is a legitimate concern for all
parties involved.
We will conduct an initial telephone interview for qualification purposes, this way we
can determine whether or not it is in our best interest to take the next step and
survey the property.
Some of the criteria for consideration include:
If a favorable number of the above mentioned criteria are met, we'll examine
satellite/aerial photographs of the property. These can be found at www.mapquest .
com or through Google Maps.
The next step would be an actual personal survey of the land to determine
appropriate hunting locations. Some of which could be right in the middle
of the backyard!
If everything looks good, A copy of the standard landowners permission agreement
(please download a copy by clicking here) will need to be signed and returned by
mail, fax, or email. Pick-ups can also be arranged. Mass law requires that this
document be kept by anyone hunting deer on private property.
This is a legal requirement and contains references to release of liabilities as
described in Chapter 21 Section 17C of The Massachusetts General Laws .
Any landowner permitting use of his property for recreation without charging a fee
is not liable for injuries to recreational users or their property except in cases of
willful, wanton or reckless conduct by the owner. (Chapter 21, Section 17C MGL)
