The last time I checked on this (in WI), part of the case is "why was the 
person there ?"   I think it might matter if the person was a friend 
visiting- hiking- hunting, an employee working in your orchard, a customer 
there on business, or a trespasser.   But I agree w/ the insurance advice.

anything - best to make a good faith effort to minimize risk - -
