Access Yes!
A hunter and angler's guide to Access Yes! Properties
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.
Nearly 1 millions acres! In 2017, Access Yes! opened 371,707 acres of private land and provided access to 549,635 acres of public land for hunters and anglers.
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.

- Ask for Written Permission
- Leave Gates As You Found Them

Best of luck and memories in your hunting and angling adventures!
