Thread: Hunting on farm's heaith and saftey

My experience is that mostly Farmers don't understand their legal obligations to recreational users so accordingly over react. Not that a belt and braces approach is unwise.

Unfortunately its being used as a reason to shut up farms.

Basically the farmer (and his staff) have an obligation to warn you about any unusual hazards that you would not usually associate with that sort of farming enterprise.

They do not have to warn about natural hazards.
