Walk-In Area rules
A Walk-In Area is a tract of private or state land on which the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has leased certain privileges for public hunting or fishing enjoyment. Please help keep these areas open each year by respecting the landowner, following the Walk-In Area rules and donating to Access Yes when you purchase your hunting or fishing licenses.
Hunter-Landowner Assistance Program
Every year some landowners contact the Wyoming Game and Fish Department seeking a few hunters to help control wildlife populations, decrease agriculture damage, etc. Some only want a limited number of hunters or have other specific needs that will not fit into a different access opportunity. This program allows Game and Fish to list information so hunters seeking access can contact these willing landowners directly.
