This farmer also had various tree stands on his property. One of these trespassing hunters, again trespassed and used this farmers tree stand, and on his way back down the treestand fell and broke his back. This trespassing hunter sued the farmer, and won.....get this, because the farmer had a ladder/steps that went to his tree stand so it was accessible. It was stated the farmer should of removed the ladder/steps and then he would of not of been held responsible.
