onX Hunt has teamed up with Mossy Oak to provide the industry’s first Turkey Academy–a premier online resource to help turkey hunters get the most out of their time in the woods. 

Aimed at helping both new and experienced hunters sharpen their skills in the field, the 9-chapter video course is available exclusively to onX Hunt Elite members. Beginning on March 1, 2023, a new chapter will be released weekly throughout the season, covering:

  1. Turkey Terminology
  2. Patterning Your Shotgun and Safety
  3. Scouting and Sign
  4. Set-Up Tactics
  5. Turkey Sounds
  6. Hunt Scenario Breakdowns
  7. Learn the Bird
  8. Turkey Habitat and Conservation
  9. Cleaning and Processing 

“Thanks to the expertise of Mossy Oak, and some of the savviest hunters in the world, we’ve been able to combine over one hundred years of turkey hunting experience into one exclusive course,” said onX Marketing Manager, Jared Larsen. “The first few chapters are geared towards the beginner turkey hunter, just getting their feet wet. Subsequent chapters dive deep into scouting tactics and breaking down hunt scenarios.”

onX Elite members will get to learn from expert turkey hunters including Mossy Oak Founder and CEO Toxey Haas and Mossy Oak Senior VP Cuz Strickland, both of whom have both spent decades in the turkey woods learning hard earned lessons.

“From identifying tracks, scratching, and strut marks and perfecting your calls to learning how you can help improve turkey habitat and population numbers, Turkey Academy is an invaluable resource for everyone heading into the spring woods,” said Mossy Oak Director of Community Marketing, Jason Hart. “Couple that with the onX Hunt App, and you’re well on your way to getting a long beard.”

In addition to the Turkey Academy, anyone looking for more turkey hunting insights can also register for these upcoming, free onX Masterclasses:

onX Hunt, along with partner Final Rise, recently helped raise $2 million at the company’s “40X” event at the 2023 Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Minneapolis, thanks to matching funds that multiplied the organizations’ $50,000 donation by 40X.

40X refers to Pheasants Forever’s ability to match every dollar donated towards projects in Minnesota by 40X thanks to Pheasants Forever chapters and partners in conservation. onX donated $25,000 to Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, while Final Rise sold limited edition hats to raise an additional $25,000. Together, after the 40X matching, that translates to $2 million raised for access projects in Minnesota.

The 40X event saw more than 1,000 attendees from across the country come together to support onX Hunt and Pheasants Forever’s shared missions of permanently protecting critical habitat for upland wildlife as well as opening more land to public hunting. In addition to drinks, live music and giveaways, attendees were able to pin their favorite upland hunting state on a large U.S. map. Six hundred pins were placed in 40 states, and for each pin, onX Hunt donated $40 to Pheasants Forever. onX rounded up that $24,000 total to a $25,000 donation.

“It never ceases to amaze me how passionate uplanders are about the pursuit of wild birds in wild places,” said onX Wingshooting Manager Ben Brettigen. “We are incredibly thankful for the Pheasants and Quail Forever team as well as the chapters and members who put in the work creating access and habitat in those wild places. Bird hunters from all over the country came out to support and celebrate these habitat and access opportunities at the 40X event, and we’re proud to have helped forge relationships among hunters and raise funding for the Habitat Organization.”

The 40X initiative is part of onX Hunt’s commitment to protecting habitat and increasing access to public lands. In the past two years, onX has helped support over 1,000 acres of public access across Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa through Pheasants Forever’s Build a Wildlife Area program. Across the U.S., onX aims to improve access to over 150,000 acres of public lands and build or restore 150 miles of trails by the end of 2023. The Minnesota access projects benefiting from this year’s 40X event will soon be identified.

“We’re so blessed to work with partners like onX who truly ‘get it’,” said Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Chris Kalis. “Not only does onX support our non-profit organization’s infrastructure through sponsorship support, but they take it a step further and contribute directly to our habitat and access mission. With grant partnerships we have in place, the 40X event is going to result in matching those contributions by a magnitude of forty times to help us do good things for our conservation mission. Thanks to onX and every uplander who contributed at the 40X event.”

Every dollar donated to Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever is matched 40X in Minnesota to improve access and habitat

onX Hunt is excited to host its “40X” event at this year’s Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 17, 2023, from 9 p.m. – 12 a.m. Pheasants Forever is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and as a longtime partner, onX Hunt is marking the milestone with a 40X party at the annual Pheasant Fest. This special event will raise funds and awareness for upland hunting land access and habitat.

40X refers to Pheasants Forever’s ability to match every dollar donated  towards projects in Minnesota by 40X thanks to Pheasants Forever chapters and partners in conservation, turning a $1 donation into $40. All the proceeds go towards onX Hunt and Pheasants Forever’s shared missions of permanently protecting critical habitat for upland wildlife as well as opening up more land to public hunting.

onX Hunt’s 40X celebration is taking place immediately following Pheasant Forever’s Upland Rally. Attendees can enjoy beverages courtesy of Leinenkugels, listen to live music from local band Dam Jammers, hang out with onX and Pheasants Forever ambassadors and staff, as well as place a pin on a U.S. map, marking where they are from or their favorite state to hunt upland birds. For each pin placed on the map, onX Hunt will donate $40 to Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever, which will multiply each of those donations by 40X. That means each pin placed raises $1,600 for habitat and access.

40X event attendees will also have a chance to win over $25,000 worth of door prizes from onX Hunt partners such as Final Rise, Purina, First Lite, Federal Ammunition, Lucky Duck, SoundGear, Upland Gun Company and others.

The 40X event is part of onX’s commitment to protecting habitat and increasing access to public lands. In the past two years, onX has helped support over 1,000 acres of public access across  Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa through Pheasants Forever’s Build a Wildlife Area program. Across the U.S., onX aims to improve access to over 150,000 acres of public lands and build or restore 150 miles of trails by the end of 2023.

To join in the fun, stop by the free 40X event on February 17 from 9 p.m.-12 a.m.at the Hyatt Regency Downtown’s Lakeshore Ballroom. To learn more about onX Hunt’s conservation and land access initiatives, check out onxmaps.com/onx-access-initiatives.

onX Acquires Toprut to equip hunters with tools to help solve growing hunter opportunity challenges

onX, a pioneer in outdoor digital navigation and owner of the industry-leading GPS app, onX Hunt, has acquired Toprut, the premier draw odds and application tool. By bringing Toprut into its fold, onX Hunt becomes a year-round tool, from pre-season scouting and field use, to finding the data needed to navigate hunt applications across the west.

Toprut is a core service that helps hunters make insightful, fact-driven tag application decisions each season. Tags in the west have become increasingly difficult to draw in recent years, so in 2021, onX Hunt partnered with Toprut to offer draw application data to its onX Elite members. Through this partnership, onX Hunt analyzed western elk data from 2018-2022 and discovered that the demand for tags in the west was outpacing supply more dramatically than anticipated:

  • Resident elk applicants are up +9.28% from 2018 to 2021
  • Non-resident elk applicants are up +22.68% over the past five years
  • Total limited entry bull tags are down -2.49% from 2018 to 2021

During application season, onX Elite members can log into Toprut, successfully navigate draw odds, build an application strategy, find overlooked opportunities, and save time and frustration throughout the process. Starting this year, onX Hunt and Toprut will offer draw odds for 12 western states: Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, now including Alaska and Washington (Washington to be released soon). Plans are already underway to expand into additional states in 2023.

The addition of Toprut rounds out the full suite of onX application services, including the onX Hunt mapping app, Toprut draw odds, onX Elite partners Huntin’ Fool digital research, and HuntReminder application reminders. 

“A successful hunt all starts with finding the right tag,” said onX Hunt General Manager, Cliff Cancelosi. “As demand for tags increases and point creep makes quality units more difficult to draw, hunters need a tool to help them navigate western applications. It’s our goal at onX Hunt to empower hunters by providing services and products that save them time researching and planning, aid them in discovering access and game, and ultimately allow every hunter to hunt smarter. By bringing Toprut into the onX Hunt ecosystem, we can drive value for those users and continue to innovate as the leader in hunt tools and resources.”  

onX will continue working with Toprut’s network of contributors, its administrators, and the company’s co-founder Steve Cordle.

“I couldn’t be more excited to partner with onX to continue growing Toprut and the tools users need,” said Cordle. “onX’s commitment to hunters and preserving the sport is the main driver behind our decision to partner. We’re just getting started, and with the power of onX behind us, we can grow quickly and continue developing products hunters truly rely on.”

Toprut draw odds is part of the onX Hunt Elite Membership. The membership includes access to application tools, hunting tactics education, and exclusive pricing on products and services handpicked by the onX Hunt team.

Easement Data in the Mountain-West Reveals Public Land Access Routes https://www.onxmaps.com/blog/easement-data-reveals-access-to-public-land Wed, 14 Sep 2022 22:27:38 +0000 https://www.onxmaps.com/?p=542966 onX now has access and right-of-way easement data that uncovers access to 648 unique parcels of land and 30,000 acres of previously-identified landlocked public.

The post Easement Data in the Mountain-West Reveals Public Land Access Routes appeared first on onX Maps.

]]>
Ever look at a map and wonder “How can I get to that piece of public land?” The answer may have, until recently, been tucked away in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or United States Forest Service (USFS) filing cabinet or may still be waiting there to be re-discovered.

Since the late 1800s, the federal government has negotiated with landowners for permanent access and right-of-way easements securing the right to travel through a property for access to public lands. Though many of these easements were made with private landowners, easements between governmental agencies also exist and will continue to protect access even if the land is transferred out of public ownership.

What exactly is an access or right-of-way easement? In the simplest terms, an easement is the legal right to use another’s property for a specific purpose. Access and right-of-way easements specifically grant the holder the right to travel through another’s property. The most common form of public right-of-way is a road or path through a parcel of land in order to access a public area. Though some government-held easements are restricted to administrative use only, many grant the general public the right to use them. There are tens of thousands of these easements filed away as part of land sales or land swaps. However, since many easements were recorded before computers existed, finding a public easement can require a lot of research for agency personnel and the public alike. Digitization efforts by the BLM and USFS are slowly making that process easier. However, there is no single, convenient location for the public to find this information, and onX aims to change that.

A Quick History of Inaccessible Public Land

Even before the pandemic that spurred an uptick in outdoor recreation across our country—and the ensuing overcrowding in many areas—there was a burgeoning interest in improving access to hard-to-reach public lands. One challenge faced by outdoor enthusiasts is limited access points to large tracts of BLM and USFS lands, making thousands of acres difficult to reach.  Though these lands are legally accessible, in many places the land is physically inaccessible to all but the most intrepid outdoor enthusiasts due to long distances, cliffs, rivers, or ravines.

Secondly, in the West a significant amount of federal and state lands cannot be accessed without getting permission from a neighboring private land owner. These areas are federally or state-owned land surrounded by private land and effectively cut off, or “landlocked” by private land. As detailed in a series of five reports published by the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and onX, most of these islands of public land arose from the homesteading days of the late 1800s and early 1900s. During this time, the federal government encouraged citizens to stake claims to become self-sustaining farmers, and granted millions of acres of non-adjoining sections of land to railroad companies and newly-established states in an effort to expand the country Westward. However, millions of acres reverted to government ownership when farmers abandoned their homesteads because they could not make a living in the arid, rugged West and when railroad companies forfeited land grants for a variety of reasons. These generally isolated and disjointed tracts of land are now managed by the BLM, USFS, and state land boards, and create a patchwork of intermixed federal, state, and private land. Though not all of these federal and state landlocked lands have access easements to reach them, there are some that do.

Checkerboard pattern of Forest Service land ownership.

BLM and USFS Rights-of-Way

As a result of the heightened interest in public access to public lands, the BLM decided to dust off some of these files and completed a pilot project in 2019 in the Montana/Dakotas District to digitize their road and trail access easements. Digitizing is the process of converting the recorded paper documents into a format that can be processed by a computer. In this case, the legally perfected easement deeds are converted into data that can be used to create an online map. This data was recently published on their website, and plans are in the works for other districts to follow suit. 

Likewise, the USFS has been working on digitizing its easements including rights-of-way throughout their regions over the last several years. In February of 2020, a group of onX geospatial analysts had the opportunity to meet with local Forest Service personnel in Region 1 who are tasked with this effort, to learn about the complexities of this work. The process of combing through historical documents and deeds, deciphering the notes, legally verifying the records, and then digitizing the data in the correct location can be difficult and time consuming. It may take hours to days to accurately digitize one easement. The time required from start to finish depends on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the records that are available, and how well the information recorded decades ago matches the current on-the-ground realities of today.

Example of an easement record on file with the Forest Service.

With limited resources available, the process of digitizing all easements recorded by federal land management agencies could take decades. However, this timeline may be greatly decreased thanks to recently-passed legislation. The Modernizing Access to Our Public Land Act, also known as the MAPLand Act, requires federal easement records, along with other land and water access data, to be made available to the public in a digital format within three years. Funding for this effort will be provided to the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Army to accomplish this task.

onX and Rights-of-Way

onX now has the means to display this digitized data in our Apps with the online publication of the verified access easements by the BLM Montana/Dakotas District Office and rights-of-way easement data available from the USFS. This data is especially useful for finding new access opportunities in remote public lands. To date, onX has incorporated USFS data for Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming, in addition to the BLM data from the Montana/Dakotas District Office, but coverage will continue to expand as additional data is sourced and curated. 

The BLM is very excited to see public lands access data for Montana incorporated into the onX Hunt App. onX continues to be a strong BLM partner and advocate for public land access, and adding this data puts new information at the fingertips of an increasing number of hunters and recreationists. We’re looking forward to providing the same information to even more Western states in the coming years!

Adam Carr, Public Access Project Manager,
BLM Montana/Dakotas District

This initial set of data has yielded some surprising results. Over 648 unique tracts of public lands have been determined to have additional access points. This includes more than 30,261 acres of public land that we previously identified as landlocked, as they had no digitized public route for access available when we conducted our analysis. Now that these easements have been transferred from the drawers of the filing cabinets to the digital world, we are able to produce a more comprehensive landlocked dataset. As additional data is published we will continue to refine our results.

Using Rights-of-Ways When Hunting and Exploring

If you open your onX Hunt App to begin scouting your next outdoor adventure, and you see an access easement or right-of-way that will get you to where you want to go, there are a few points to keep in mind.

  • Since the establishment of these easements range from this year to over a hundred years ago, the trail or road they are based on may be barely visible or even non-existent. There are cases where an easement was established for future plans to develop a road or trail that never came into fruition. In other places, the route may have seen very little use over decades and therefore is no longer evident on the land. Therefore, don’t assume that all “road” rights-of-way or access easements are passable using a vehicle, or that you will find a clearly marked or maintained trail on a “trail” right-of-way or access easement.
  • Secondly, some of these easements may not have been used by the public for decades; effectively forgotten by the public and landowners alike. Furthermore, private land ownership may have changed hands, possibly many times since the easement was recorded. Current landowners may not know about these easements and may be surprised by members of the public crossing their property. If a route is obscured, posted, or gated, don’t assume that the landowner is knowingly blocking a public right-of-way. Instead, if you come across a gate or sign, ask the landowner for permission to use the easement or contact the agency that holds the legal record to address the situation.
  • Finally, remember that these easements are only for allowing passage across a piece of private property to access public lands. They are not for hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, or recreation. So, keep moving and respect the private property rights as you would on any other piece of private property. 

To avoid clutter and confusion on the map, we chose only to display easements that cross private property and provide access to public lands. There are also some easements shown that cross privately-owned lands open to the public, for example lands owned by The Nature Conservancy or a timber company. In these instances, you should check with the organization or company regarding their land access regulations and policies before venturing off the easement. 

Be sure to stay on the established access or right-of-way easement when crossing private property.

What Comes Next

We are excited to highlight these access easements and rights-of-way in the Mountain-West, and we will keep adding to our inventory as more data becomes available from the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service. Stay tuned as we reveal more public access routes in the coming years!
