Access Yes

[Yell Co AR Hunter]

Who all donates to this? If so and you don't mind what amount ?
I try to give $20.00 and also $5.00 to search and rescue.

 

[PlainsHunter]

I usually donate $20-$30 per year to access yes. I don't donate to the search and rescue.

$100 every year, fantastic program.

$100 every year, fantastic program.

Same here, my wife and I each donate at least $100/year and have since 2000.

The Wyoming Chapter of BHA is also an annual donor.

 

[PlainsHunter]

It's a great program. I've hunted walk in areas, and an HMA and all had antelope and deer on them.

I donate every time I apply for a license. On the years that I don't apply I don't donate just because I don't remember to do it. I have hunted lots of walk in areas and am very appreciative for the opportunity.

 

[RICMIC]

I donate when I apply. Have hunted in the access areas, but so far haven't needed the Search & Rescue. I have a snowmobile bud who was airlifted off a mt. in Montana last year, and as we all know, S@$! Happens.

Great program for sure!

I give a couple bucks for every license purchase.

never hunted an access yes. I figure my taxes support S&R

Again, great program I do donate every year, but honestly need to do more. I have seen the search and rescue teams in action and i DEFINITELY donate to that every year. I watched them work through the night once looking for a lost hunter, who unknown to his friends had early on set dementia, they found him cold and miserable, but alive.

I usually do because I really like hunting the walk in areas. But for some reason it didn’t take when I applied in the left over draw. So I will double it up next year. I throw $5 at the search and rescue too

Many of the Search & Rescue are volunteers who have to take time away from their jobs and families to look for lost souls. The ambulance/helicopters do get their big payday, but that doesn't generally come out of S&R funds.
I have never shot an animal on access yes areas, but drive through big blocks of it in the area where I antelope hunt. By having the permit in my pocket, I don't have to worry about the GPS location.

Access Yes is a great program, I donate when I purchase a tag. As a nonresident hunter I donate to Search and Rescue...not that I expect to need but on the off chance I do I can tell them to fly my butt out first because those buddies there with me didn't donate to the cause.

Just did $20 when I bought my points. I mostly hunt the walk in areas and I appreciate getting to do it

The beauty of it is that it opens more every year. The hardest part to manage though is the guys who don't respect the land and ruin opportunities for others.

Well it looks like we’re hunting nothing this year. Laying in the hotel in Rapid City and just realized I left my son and i’s tags laying in the kitchen counter. Guess I can call the game and fish in the morning and see if there’s anything they can do to help or it’s going to be a long u turn

Stop at any local sporting good's store in Wyoming, pay $3 for a duplicate license, go hunt!
Minor road bump, have a great hunt!
