The Hunter Access Enhancement Program compensates landowners 

 as follows: 



► Basic enrollment payment - available to landowners who enroll 

 land in the program, paid annually for enrollment or renewal. 



► Base impact payment - available to any landowner who enrolls 

 land in the program. Paid annually for enrollment or renewal. 

 Compensation is set at $6.00 per hunter day. A hunter day is 

 defined as one hunter who hunts on the property during a 

 calendar day. 



► Length of season impact payment - available, in addition to 

 other impact payments, to any enrol lee who places no 

 restrictions on the legal fall seasons for any species available in 

 huntable numbers. Compensation is computed at $2.00 per 

 hunter day. 



► Species/gender impact payments - available, in addition to 

 other impact payments, to any enrollee who places no 

 restrictions on gender/species available in huntable numbers. 

 Compensation is computed at $2.00 per hunter day. 



If the landowner provides access to isolated state/federal lands, with 

 no enrollment of deeded land with public hunting access, 

 compensation is computed at one-half the base impact payment rate. 

 If no restrictions are placed on season length, landowners also 

 receive one-half the length of season impact payment per hunter day 

 or a total of $4.00 per hunter. 



A maximum of $8,000 a year can be paid to a landowner. 



For the 1998 hunting season, 917 landowners enrolled 7,275,721 

 acres in the program.
