“We spend a ton of time every year hunting and hiking on our public lands, and the government lands layers in the Hunt App help us quickly identify which type we’re on. Whether it’s BLM, state, forest service, WMAs, etc, there’s different regulations for each, so it’s critical to know exactly where you stand.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bureau of Land Management land?

BLM land is managed by the Department of the Interior (DOI) and is found from Alaska to Florida. Representing 12% of the U.S. landmass, BLM land encompasses 245 million acres of public lands for the American people. Recreational activities such as hunting, hiking, backpacking, fishing, and more abound on BLM lands, as do industries such as oil, gas, and mineral extraction. BLM’s grazing program helps support healthy grasslands, and some BLM-managed lands even function as outdoor laboratories where students learn about natural history.

Can I hunt on BLM Land?

BLM land is open to hunting unless otherwise specified, but you must have legal access to it—you are not guaranteed access through private lands to reach BLM land. BLM land shows in yellow in the onX Hunt App, so it’s easy to locate during your e-scouting. Check with your local BLM office every year before hunting, and take note of rule changes, fire restrictions, and road closures.

Can you camp on Bureau of Land Management land?

Yes, BLM lands are generally open for camping, whether you’re pulling an RV or looking for primitive camping experiences. After using the Hunt App to find a piece of BLM land you’re interested in, call the relevant BLM field office to confirm details before your trip.
