PINEDALE, Wyo. (AP) _ The Wyoming Game and Fish Department says
some additional elk hunting opportunities are opening up, thanks to
private landowners and the state's Access Yes program.

The hunts are available for some limited quota license holders _
but not those with general elk licenses _ in three Hunter
Management Areas near Big Piney, Daniel and Boulder.

Under the Access Yes program, private landowners enter an
agreement with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to allow access to eligible hunters.

Other states, including Idaho and Montana, have similar
programs.
