Sportsman's Guide to Access Yes!

Access Yes Sign

Last year, the Access Yes! Program opened up 431,803 acres of private land and 470,165 acres of public land for sportsmen.

As of December 14, 2011, 95 Access Yes! Lease Agreements are currently active opening 403,165 private acres and 387,545 public acres.


What is Access Yes!?

Access Yes! is a program designed to improve sportsmen's access to private land or through private land to public land by compensating willing landowners who provide access. Ultimately, the goal is to provide access to 1,000,000+ acres of private land along with access through private land to thousands more acres of public land.


Success through Partnerships!

National Shooting Sports Foundation Logo The Hunting Heritage Partnership Logo

The National Shooting Sports Foundation through the Hunting Heritage Partnerships Grant Program has partnered with the IDFG Access Yes! Program to obtain and secure access for sportsmen through private property to public ground.

Thank you to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Private Landowners and the support of the Sportsmen of Idaho.


How to Use This Guide:

Man at a gate with a dog
  • Pick a property from the list below or select an area from the map.
  • Review the 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 sportsmen of today and tomorrow.

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