Access Note - It’s up to the hunter to know where you stand, but onX Hunt can help. We aim to provide you with key information for planning your hunt, as well as guidance on how to use that information to find places to hunt. Keep in mind that government owned properties in onX Hunt are not always accessible to the public and may be subject to special restrictions, so it’s best to check with the managing agency and to obey any signs you encounter in the field. Roads displayed on the map may include state, county, and private roads and do not connote public access. Tap on the property to find the managing agency (e.g. Bureau of Land Management, National Forest, etc) that can answer your access questions.Click here to learn how to use onX Hunt to find public and private hunting land.
