Landowners protected by Nebraska hunting liability law
Nebraska lawmakers enacted the Model Liability Relief Law to shield landowners who allow hunting and other recreation on their property. The statute, passed in 1965, removes liability for injuries to those using the land except for willful or malicious failures to warn. Public access land under CAP is covered, and hunters must still use due care to avoid fires and damage. The piece also notes Daniel Freeman, early homesteader, buried at Home stead National Monument near Beatrice.
