DNR - Hunter Access Program (HAP)

The Hunting Access Program (HAP), is a financial opportunity for landowners willing to open their land for public hunting opportunity. The DNR leases private lands from landowners who give licensed hunters access to their property, generally on a first-come, first-served basis. ​

The DNR website has more Hunting Access Program information.

Landowners - Earn money by allowing hunting access

HAP offers a chance to increase and diversify your property income, while helping to manage wildlife on your land such as controlling deer damage or nuisance wildlife. It's a way to allow limited access on your land, and it's flexible - you may choose to allow all hunting, youth and apprentice hunting only, small game only, deer only, elk only, turkey only, or a combination of these (options vary by region).
As a HAP landowner, you are also eligible to apply for funds for wildlife habitat improvement projects. These projects help promote quality hunting experiences while improving wildlife and habitat management on your property. Funding varies by region, contact the HAP Coordinator for more information.
Find out more information on the Michigan DNR HAP website.

Hunters - Find local private land to hunt

While there are currently no private landowners participating in HAP in Washtenaw County, there are some in surrounding regions. Check the DNR List of HAP Properties to find publicly accessible private hunting land in our region. 

2020 DNR Hunting Digest (PDF) - ​Rules apply from August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021.
