• noting that the purpose of the Model Statute is to encourage private landowners to make their land available for public recreational uses
• explaining that RSA 508:14, I, “does not clearly eliminate all common law duties of landowners toward all entrants on land” (emphasis added)
• phrase “any person” is “broad and unqualified” but should be interpreted in its statutory context
• because language of New Hampshire statute is nearly identical to that of model act, we will look to model act as well as to similar statutes from other states to interpret New Hampshire statute
• looking to similar statutes from other jurisdictions for guidance
