Annual dues
The default across the Southeast. You get a season, an assigned area, and a group — plus work days and a rulebook. Cheapest per hunter if you hunt more than a few weekends.
Best when: You hunt the same ground all season
For hunters
Legitimate access.In writing.
Roughly seventy-two percent of the Lower 48 is privately owned, and in the whitetail heartland almost all of the quality ground is behind a gate. Getting through it honestly is a solvable problem — it just requires somebody to have written down the terms.

Four ways onto private ground
Pick the one that matches how you actually hunt.
These are not tiers of the same product. They suit genuinely different people, and the cheapest one per day is rarely the cheapest one per season.
Take a lease
$5 – $45 per acre
You and a few others hold the ground outright. Total control over pressure, plots, and who is on it — and total responsibility for the cost and the paperwork.
Best when: You want to manage the ground, not just hunt it
Book day access
~$40 – $300+ per day
Specific days on specific ground. Highest cost per day, zero commitment, and the only realistic option if you travel to hunt.
Best when: You hunt a few days, in different places
Book a guided hunt
$1,500 – $15,000+
A registered outfitter runs it. You are paying for country you could not otherwise reach, and for someone who knows it.
Best when: New species, new state, or limited time
How it works
From no permission to standing on the ground.
Verification happens once. Everything after it is about a specific landowner saying yes to a specific person on specific dates.
Verify once, $49
Network-wideIdentity, current hunting license for the state, and hunter-education certification where required. Valid across every club and property on the network — you are never re-verified per booking.
Find ground you can actually reach
By regionFilter by state, species, season, and access model. You see region, terrain, species, rules, and price — not an exact location, because that is not ours to publish.
Request or apply
Days, or a seasonA day booking is a request for specific dates. A club membership is an application the club reviews. Either way, a real person on the other side decides.
Sign before you go
GatedThe waiver and the property's access agreement are signed before access is granted. If they are not signed, access does not open — there is no path around it.
Get the details you need
On approvalExact location, parking, gate code, boundaries, stand assignment, and the specific rules for that ground and that unit — released to you once you are approved.
Close out the hunt
Same dayLog the harvest or log that you sat four hours and saw nothing. Both matter — the second one is what makes the first one mean anything.
Why verification is worth $49
It is the only reason a stranger opens their gate.
Landowners are not withholding access because they dislike hunters. They are withholding it because they cannot tell the careful ones from the rest, and one bad weekend costs more than a season of lease income.
Checked once, honoured everywhere
Identity, license, and hunter education verified at the platform. Every club and property on the network trusts the same check.
Your standing travels with you
A clean record on one property is a reason for the next landowner to say yes. That is an asset you currently have no way to carry.
Terms you can actually read
Rules, boundaries, legal-buck criteria, and what's included attached to the booking itself — not a verbal briefing you half-remember at 5am.
Where access opens
Region by region, and we will tell you which.
Colorado first, with a named beta cohort. Then the Southeast lease belt through 2027, on the calendar clubs actually sign leases on.
What it costs
Access pricing, without the vagueness.
Published 2026 market figures for the states we are opening in. What you pay goes to the club, landowner, or outfitter — HunterPass charges hunters nothing beyond the one-time $49 verification.
| Access model | Typical cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Dove day access | From ~$40 per gun | The cheapest paid hunting there is, and most people's first |
| Whitetail day access | ~$300 per day | Often a two-day minimum; ~$1,000 for two days with lodging |
| Club membership | Your share of the lease | A season, an assigned area, and work-day obligations |
| Seasonal lease | $5 – $45 per acre | The whole tract, and the whole responsibility |
| Semi-guided whitetail | $1,500 – $3,000 | Ground, stands, and local knowledge without a guide beside you |
| Guided hog, Texas | $350 – $900 per day | Frequently nocturnal with thermal equipment provided |
| Guided elk | $5,000 – $12,000 | Drop camp at the bottom, trophy limited-draw at the top |
Hunter questions
Straight answers
Why can't I just book a hunt today?
Because right now there is ground on a handful of properties, not a marketplace. Taking your money for access we cannot actually deliver is not a trade we are willing to make. Access opens region by region — Colorado first, target launch 1 November 2026, with a small group of named clubs, then the Southeast through 2027 — and you will hear from us when yours is genuinely live rather than a month before.
What does the $49 verification actually cover?
A one-time check of your identity, a background check, your hunting license for the state, and your hunter-education certification where the state requires it. It is valid across every club and property on the network — you are not re-verified per booking. The fee is what it is because a real background check costs real money, and a landowner saying yes to someone they have never met is buying exactly that.
Is joining a club cheaper than leasing myself?
Almost always, per hunter. The lease cost is split, the improvements already exist, and someone else is doing the administration. Leasing yourself buys control — over who hunts, how hard, and what gets planted — and costs the full lease plus every improvement you want to make.
How much does access actually cost?
It ranges enormously. Day access for dove starts around $40 a gun. Whitetail day access commonly runs about $300 a day with a two-day minimum. A club membership is your share of a lease running roughly $5 to $45 an acre depending on the state. Guided hunts run $1,500 for a semi-guided whitetail up to $15,000 and beyond for a trophy limited-draw elk hunt.
Will I know exactly where I'm hunting before I book?
You will know the region, the terrain, the species, the rules, and what's included. You will not get the exact location, gate code, or access directions until the landowner approves your specific request — that is a promise we made to them, and it is the reason they are willing to be on the platform at all.
What if I've never hunted private land before?
Then the rules being in writing works in your favor rather than against it. Every booking carries the property's specific rules, the legal-buck criteria for the unit, the boundaries, the access route, and what to do if something goes wrong. The people who get this wrong are usually the ones who assumed they already knew.
