We have a big change this year.  YPG is now offering a $10 Adult Small Game/Scouting permit.  If you do not have a Deer or Bighorn tag and only want to hunt small game or assist in scouting a hunt you do not have to purchase the $35 Hunting Assess Pass.  If you do have big game tags, then the Adult $35 Hunting Access Pass covers you for your Deer or Sheep hunt as well as small game and scouting.
