Sections 19 & 46 seem to be the deciding parts ?????.

It specifically says Farmers are not responsible - stop freaking out and keep going hunting. If a hunter is in your shed and it collapses, then the farmer will likely be liable. Also, if a hunter gets himself run over by a log because you didn't tell him a hauler was operating in the area and hes an absolute idiot, then you are probably liable. Under normal conditions, your pretty safe.
