Not sure what state you are in and what the laws may be where you live. There are a few things to keep in mind.
1 - In many states if you let someone hunt at no charge or agreement you are not liable if they get hurt. You may be protected by state laws.
2 - When a lease is agreed upon and money changes hands you can be held liable in case of someone getting hurt on your land. If you write a lease insert a clause that the leasee releases you from all responsibilty for injuries while on your property (probably best to get a lawyer on this one)
3 - In the lease agreement or written permission for hunting without lease or money exchanging hands give them the rights to run off and/or report trespassers
4 - Always write in an exception for yourself and family members to hunt so that other party understands that the hunting rights are not exclusive. Also specify what the hunters are allowed to hunt unless you agree to year round hunting rights.
5 - Write in land owner cancel clause. Should the hunters be unsafe or damage property you have the right to terminate the contract with a pro-rated return of funds after damages are paid for from lease money. Be specific about gates left open, driving where they are not supposed to, ATV use, etc with an option that states and other factors not listed.
6 - ALWAYS write in that NO trees are to be cut without you permission. Limbs that block shooting lanes me be trimmed if you are so inclined to allow that. And NO driving of any motorized vehicle on tillable land. All vehicles, ATV's etc are to be limited to existing roads, drives, tractor passages. NO NEW roads or trails are to be opened up. Allow ATV only for the retrieval of harvested animals only if you want to allow it.
7 - Hunting stands and blinds maybe put up but may not interfere with any farm operations. You choice as to how long before hunting season that they can be put and how long after that they must be taken down. (We leave ours up year around with the owners permission, but he hunts with us too so he get to use stand of his choice)
8 - No trash allowed. All items carried in must be carried out including cig and cigar butts (I am smoker and I carry mine out as I respect the land)
9 - Camping if you allow it camp may be setup 1 week prior to and taken out 1 week after hunting season. Campfires must be kept small and contained in a rock or steel ring. All wood must be provided by campers and/or only dead limbs or trees already on ground maybe cut up and used for firewood. Any damage caused by fire that gets out of control is the responsibility of the hunters.
10 - Animal carcass disposal must be either buried at least 4 feet deep or disposed of off property (Your call on that one)
