General Access Tips
- 1. Always verify land ownership boundaries with a GPS app before hunting.
- 2. BLM and USFS land is generally open to hunting unless posted otherwise.
- 3. State trust land rules vary by state — some require permits, others allow walk-on access.
- 4. Walk-In Access areas change annually — download current maps each season.
- 5. Landlocked public land (surrounded by private) may still be legally accessible — research corner-crossing laws in your state.
