Landowner hunting-access programs in California.

California's current SHARE page actively invites private owners and managers to submit an enrollment form, but it does not publish a uniform owner payment rate, minimum acreage, or contract term.

Official terms and funding can change. Confirm eligibility, current enrollment status, agreement language, and the enrolled access boundary with the responsible agency.

Compare the terms before contacting the agency.

A published rate is not guaranteed income, and a listed minimum does not guarantee acceptance. Funding, property fit, agency selection, and the signed agreement control.

Private alternative · No program enrollment required

Share broad California property interest first.

Agency enrollment and private selected-date access are separate choices. This short form records private interest without asking you to invent dates, pricing, acreage, or parcel details.

  • ✓ State and broad county or area
  • ✓ Relationship to the hunting rights
  • ✓ Optional handoff to a full property draft

This form does not enroll land in an agency program, create a listing, publish a property, or grant hunting access.
