You are doing research for a state law problem about the liability of hunters who enter private property when they are tracking an animal to private property landowners. Your client has sued a hunter for the death of his family dog. The bow-and-arrow hunter was tracking a deer he already shot with his bow. He tracked it from a public nature preserve to the landowner's property and then, thinking he was shooting the deer, killed the landowner's family dog.

There are two questions involved:

1) whether the land is private property, and

2) if so, whether the hunter is liable to the landowner.

How relevant are the following authorities to your analysis of this problem?

1. A newspaper article about hunting accidents on private property.

2. A statute of the state that limits the liability of hunters who enter private property when they are tracking an animal.

3. The regulations of a state agency requiring boundary markers on public property.

4. A brochure printed by the operator of the nature preserve.

5. Case law from the state's intermediate appellate courts interpreting the statutory term "animal tracking."

6. Case law from the highest court of another state that has an almost identical statute, interpreting the term "animal tracking."

7. A case from your state's appellate court that interprets the term "animal hunting" in a different statute in that same state about licensing for hunting on public land.

8. The notes of the drafters of a uniform act about liability of hunters, an act that your state has adopted.
