Nearly 1 million acres! In 2019, Access Yes! opened 328,066 acres of private land and provided access to 525,115 acres of public land for hunters and anglers.
Access Yes!
Access Yes! is a program designed to improve access to private land or through private land to public land by compensating willing landowners who provide access.
How to Use This Guide
Pick a property from the list or map to view landowner's access requirements.
Carefully check:
- whether access is limited or unlimited (i.e. 5 hunters/day, unlimited, etc.)
- is landowner contact required
- when is access available (i.e. Aug. 1 - Dec. 31)
- what types of hunting or fishing opportunities are allowed
- what special restrictions exist (i.e. no fires or camping, travel only on existing roads, etc.)
- what special notes are included
Please act responsibly and respect private property. Your attention to landowner's requirements will help ensure a successful Access Yes! program for the hunters and anglers of today and tomorrow.

Access Yes! Know the rules of use before heading into the field
Every year, thousands of hunters and anglers take advantage of Idaho’s Access Yes! program allowing them access to hunt and fish on privately owned land. But landowners do have the right, and ability to place exceptions or limits on what activities can occur when hunters and anglers access their private property.
