(Photo: Outdoor Access Facebook)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Deer season has come and gone here in Texas, and I only got into a tree stand on a handful of weekends. Why? Aside from the crushing weight of deadlines and the kids\u2019 hectic schedules, I have another problem: I live in the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>As a recent transplant to Waco, I haven\u2019t built a list of friendly landowners willing to let me wander their property in search of Whitetail. And I know I\u2019m not alone when I say that a multi-thousand-dollar lease isn\u2019t in the cards right now, even if I split the bill among my hunting buddies.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, help may be on its way.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2016 by entrepreneurs and outdoorsmen Jamie Christensen and Buck Robinson, <a href=\"https:\/\/outdooraccess.com\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing? Outdoor Access Connects Sportsmen with Land Owners on a Per-Day Basis\">Outdoor Access<\/a> connects hunters looking for a trophy with landowners looking to make some extra cash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of our members are guys who live in the city and used to hunt as kids. They\u2019ve lost that,\u201d Robinson told GunsAmerica. \u201cThey don\u2019t have the connections to the landowning community. So we\u2019ve made it really easy for them to do what they want to do, pay a fair price for being able to do it, and still make it to their kid\u2019s soccer game that afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outdoor Access could be likened to a high-security Airbnb for <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-bows-schools-kids-outdoors-enthusiasts-hunters\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing? Outdoor Access Connects Sportsmen with Land Owners on a Per-Day Basis\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2151\">hunters and outdoor enthusiasts<\/a>. \u201cMembers\u201d can search land listings in their area that accommodate a variety of activities, including hunting, fishing, camping, and target shooting. Landowners charge on a per-day basis (usually between $10 and $50), so members can reserve the property for a single day or several days at a time.<\/p>\n<p>The company also recently introduced an \u201cextended rental\u201d option, which allows landowners to lease their property to one member for several weeks. This allows hunters to control pressure, and the cost-per-day is generally cheaper.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99858\" style=\"width: 566px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/OA-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing?

Since 2016, they\u2019ve grown to over 500 properties, and they expect to have well over 4,000 members by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Any landowner in the U.S can list their property on Outdoor Access, but Robinson said the vast majority of their landowners live in Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland. Building slowly to maintain a good balance between members and landowners, the company plans to expand along the eastern seaboard by 2019 and move west to the Mississippi River by 2020. Ultimately, Robinson said, they\u2019d like to grow both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Different Model<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leveraging the gig economy to serve the hunting community isn\u2019t a new idea. Robinson admitted that several other companies have tried similar business models, but they haven\u2019t been able to address the concerns of both landowners and outdoor enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>For both sides of the Outdoor Access clientele, the first potential problem is a lack of supply or demand. Too many landowners and the member pool won\u2019t be large enough to justify a property owner&#8217;s efforts. Too many members and hunters will become frustrated with the lack of options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny two-sided marketplace has a tendency to implode,\u201d Robinson told GunsAmerica. \u201cWe\u2019re growing intentionally at a speed that\u2019s sustainable and that creates a real foundation for long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-honkers-in-manitoba\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing?

While any landowner can use the tool, they\u2019ve found that this personal approach yields the best results and ensures the landowner pool doesn\u2019t grow too fast.<\/p>\n<p>Member growth seems to have followed suit. Searching through listings near my hometown in northern Virginia, I found several properties with lots of availability over the next three months. Some landowners only open their properties on the weekends and others only allow bow hunting, but every property I checked included images, a property description, and several member reviews.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99860\" style=\"width: 748px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/OA-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing?

But I don\u2019t know who they are and I\u2019m reluctant to let a stranger onto my property.\u2019 That\u2019s one of the reasons we\u2019ve instituted a background check from day one.

Landowners can control who comes onto their property, of course, but a background check also provides accountability: a member who disregards land use rules can\u2019t create a new account and continue using the service. By setting up higher barriers to entry, Outdoor Access encourages real buy-in from members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want members to feel a level of investment in protecting the platform as a whole,\u201d Robinson explained. \u201cLike, \u2018This is something I feel privileged to be a part of, and I want to be careful to protect.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99868\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/OA-3-Alexander-County-NC.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing?

There\u2019s nothing worse than waiting patiently for the buck that never appears as you listen to your lease money slowly trickle down the drain.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson says his company has addressed those concerns as well. First, he encourages prospective hunters to contact property owners and set up a scouting visit. Members can verify that a landowner\u2019s claims about water and deer habitat are legitimate before purchasing the lease. Many landowners also post images of game cameras or hunters posing with harvested game.<\/p>\n<p>The website also includes a review section where members can post their success (or lack thereof), and I found the mapping tool to be intuitive and helpful for initial scouting.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-high-pressure-hunting\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-outdoor-access\" title=\"The Future of Land Leasing?

But if you\u2019re like me\u2014lacking in both free time and expendable funds to justify that kind of commitment\u2014Robinson\u2019s model is worth a look. You might not find any properties in your state this season, but that\u2019s likely to change in a few years.<\/p>\n<p>For landowners, the ability to vary pricing based on day of the week and time of year can turn a liability into a lucrative income stream. The company\u2019s background check requirement and built-in liability insurance also give property owners peace of mind as they invite strangers to use their land.<\/p>\n<p>The hunting community is shrinking as our country becomes increasingly (sub)urbanized, but companies like Outdoor Access could start to reverse that trend. By connecting landowners to hunters in a mutually beneficial relationship, Outdoor Access is hoping to change the way we access land\u2014and the critters that live on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deer season started this weekend in Texas, and I\u2019m not in a tree stand.

Aside from the crushing weight of deadlines and the kids\u2019 hectic schedules, I have another problem: I live in the suburbs. As a recent transplant to Waco, I haven\u2019t built a list of friendly landowners willing to let me wander their property in search of Whitetail. And I know I\u2019m not alone when I say that a multi-thousand-dollar lease isn\u2019t in the cards right now, even if I split the bill among my hunting buddies.  Fortunately, help may be on its way.","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-outdoor-access\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica","article_published_time":"2019-03-04T06:41:32+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-12-22T12:54:12+00:00","og_image":[{"width":600,"height":400,"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/OA-2-14-Acres-in-Northern-Virginia-Property.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Jordan Michaels","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@gunsamerica","twitter_site":"@gunsamerica","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Jordan Michaels","Est. reading time":"8 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-outdoor-access\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-outdoor-access\/"},"author":{"name":"Jordan Michaels","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#\/schema\/person\/a21614cb8c2dd3512bbbaa26c54521ad"},"headline":"The Future of Land Leasing?
