Don’t worry, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s access programs are still in place for hunting and fishing, continue to grow and are very popular. The major change is that there is a “new look” for our public access program, and it is called Access Yes. Access Yes has always been the funding mechanism for our hunting and fishing access areas known as Walk-in and Hunter Management Areas. We merged the Access Yes name with the access programs to ensure hunters and anglers understand the direct link between the Access Yes donations and Walk-in and Hunter Management Areas. Watch for the new logo (pictured here) to help identify these access areas.

Using our “public access” website,  you should research Access Yes hunting and fishing areas before you head out to hunt or fish. Hunter Management Areas require a permission slip to hunt on those lands in addition to a license for that hunt area. Each Walk-in Area is only open for a specified time period(s) and a certain hunting and/or fishing opportunity. If you are having trouble determining what is private or public land, or have questions about our Access Yes areas, contact the Cheyenne Headquarters or regional office in your area.
