What are the rules?

• Click here to review OLAP regulations.
• Hunters may legally harvest any desired game (waterfowl, deer, squirrels, etc.) with the legal means of take: 
  • Archery
  • Shotgun (no shot size larger than T shot, no slugs)
• The only exception is that elk harvest is prohibited on all OLAP.

When you arrive at the walk-in hunting area:

• All Limited Access tracts have specific parking areas (check the map).
• These parking areas have check-in boxes.
• In these check-in boxes are perforated cards.
• Fill out the card and deposit the top half into the check-in box.

Map color changes:

Please note that the colors for the walk-in area boundaries have changed. Public archery/shotgun walk-in areas are now gray rather than red. The new Limited Access tracts are yellow. Other boundary colors remain similar/unchanged.  

Map Tips

Remember to click on walk-in areas to bring up more information, including access types, dates, habitat information, specific comments/instructions, and photos. This function is available when accessing maps on a computer or via the mobile app (Explorer for ArcGIS).

Reminder: Review the maps before entering the walk-in area. Get a good feel for the property boundaries, topography, changes in land use (farming or ranching), etc.  Boundaries may consist of a change from grassland to agriculture, a mowed strip (example pictured), etc. Some walk-in areas may not have fences for OLAP boundary signs, and it's the responsibility of hunters to know their location and the walk-in area's boundaries.
