General Information About Licensing from PotlatchDeltic
Must Obtain Own Access means that the RLU does not have legal access and you must obtain your own access to view or license the property. Meaning, you must obtain permission to access the property through an adjoining landowner on your own for the license term. We do not have any contact information for the adjoining landowners. We will need the name of the land owner who provided you access to add to your account before your request to license is approved.
Do not add properties to your account before viewing them in person. Adding a property to your account means you are officially committing to licensing it. All locations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They do not require approval for viewing, but they remain active online. This means another party can lease the property even while you are on-site inspecting it. You may view properties on foot during daylight hours, but you must wear a blaze or hunter orange hat and vest for safety. To help you find the boundaries, use the three interactive maps on our website. Simply hover over any RLU or property to view its exact Latitude and Longitude coordinates.
The property will be removed from your account and placed back on the website for lease. We do not hold properties past the payment due date. To prevent the listing from becoming available to other applicants, you must complete your payment before the deadline.
PotlatchDeltic land is not open for recreation if it is not licensed. Most PotlatchDeltic hunting properties that are licensed will be posted, but it is up to the license holder to decide if they want it posted or not.
Yes, if you pay the license fee, you are free to decide whether or not you wish to hunt.
The map available on this website should provide guidance to the location of the property. We also GPS points that identify the center point of the license tract. In addition, PotlatchDeltic generally uses colored paint to identify outside boundary lines.
The license term will be for the entire year.
  • Arkansas: beginning on May 1 and expiring the next year on April 30.
  • Mississippi: beginning on July 1 and expiring the next year on June 30.
  • Alabama: beginning on July 1 and expiring the next year on June 30.
Each license holder will be given the first right of refusal i.e. the opportunity to renew their license each year as long as the parcel remains in the hunt license and recreational program as long as they abide by the License Agreement Policies and pay their annual license fees."
  • Any size parcel can be licensed, although there is a minimum license fee to offset administrative costs.
  • PotlatchDeltic will determine the size of the tract to be licensed, depending on property boundaries, roads, streams and rivers, rights-of-way, etc. We will not break up tracts of adjacent land into many small license parcels.
  • In the southern states, we define a hunting club as more than five members who wish to hunt together and pool their money to license a piece of property. Hunt Clubs are required to be legally incorporated if you have more than one member.
Licensees have exclusive access to the land, but are encouraged to work with neighbors and others who have historically used the land for other recreational activities.
Licensees have exclusive access to the licensed tract, and do not have to allow any access to others. However, licensees will find it is in their best interest to get along with their neighbors, and are strongly encouraged to work with them to allow access for incidental activities that do not interfere with hunting.
Because growing and harvesting trees is an important part of PotlatchDeltic's natural resource business, it is necessary to harvest timber or conduct other forest management activities at any time of the year.
  • Licensee, hunting camp members and guests enter PotlatchDeltic property at their own risk. Licensee, hunting camp/club members and guests shall hold PotlatchDeltic free and harmless from any and all claims.
  • PotlatchDeltic will furnish a liability insurance policy that covers both PotlatchDeltic and the licensee.
Yes, selling land that is licensed can occur. If we determine that a tract of land will be listed for sale, the license holder will be notified of the listing and in some cases, pending sale. When the notification is of a listing, it is not a 'first right of refusal' to buy the property, but simply a notification that it will be for sale so that the license holder can pursue a purchase if interested. License holders will be notified of an impending sale of all or part of their license.

Common Questions from Licensees

  • Portable deer stands are encouraged. Freestanding stands are allowed. At any time of the year, however, it may become necessary for PotlatchDeltic to conduct activities including, but not limited to, road building, logging, site preparation, or tree planting on the licensed property. PotlatchDeltic will not be responsible for damages to temporary structures or inconveniences to licensees due to these activities.
  • No stands will be nailed or stapled to any standing timber. Stands are also not allowed within 50 yards of a private property line without written permission from the adjoining private landowner.
  • In the Southern states, Deer Stands are not allowed on Company Roads. Our policy states 'Hunting and/or shooting within 50 yards from the centerline of an improved, company-owned road is not allowed. This also includes shooting across company roads. An improved, company-owned road refers to any road that can be driven throughout most of the year. These roads may or may not have a gravel surface, but they are generally maintained for vehicle travel. This does not include timber access roads that are not being maintained.
  • In Southern states: Please check appropriate state agency baiting regulations to determine if feeding is allowed on licensed land.
Gates will be allowed only with PotlatchDeltic's permission on a case-by-case basis, and must be built to PotlatchDeltic specifications. Under no circumstances are cables, chains, or ropes to be used to restrict access. Use of cables, chains, ropes or other similar restrictions may be grounds for license cancellation.
ATVs are allowed, but only on existing roads. Building new ATV trails, abusing existing roads, or driving off roads causes erosion and damages the land, and will not be tolerated by PotlatchDeltic. ATV users should abide by the state and local laws that the tract is in with regards to the use of ATV's. Be aware that new public agency policies may affect ATV use near and adjacent to PotlatchDeltic licenses.
No commercial trees can be cut to establish shooting lanes. Licensees will be allowed to cut brush; however, this is not to open shooting lanes. If you are in doubt as to whether the plants in question are commercial trees or brush, do not cut!
  • PotlatchDeltic does not guarantee a camping spot on every license tract. Because of weather conditions and the nature of some roads, camping may not be possible on every license tract.
  • In Southern States: Camping is allowed only if a Campsite License is granted. All Campsites must be approved by PotlatchDeltic personnel prior to any camping activity. Additional fees will apply if campsite requests are approved.
