    Rancher/outfitter close public road in eastern MT

    100% not true. Most access issues are far from simple. In fact, many take years or research and a lot of lawyers. I can point you to dozens of cases that ended up with roads being proved public, only after years of research and legal battles. It’s sad they have to end that way.

    Boy I’m glad not everyone thinks like you - lots of jumping to conclusions here. I’m glad that people that have the public’s interest at heart are looking into this and will make a case for it being a public road if warranted. I’ll tell you what needs to stop if it is a private road - all...

    This right here is 100% right - talk about have your cake and eat it to. Happens everywhere. No more exclusive access to public roads.

    Rancher/outfitter close public road in eastern MT

    Ya’ll are forgetting about prescriptive use, what it is, and why it’s a thing. A gas tax road is a solid showing for the judge to grant a prescriptive use easement. Want to know one of the reasons why prescriptive use is a thing? Some view it as a takings of private property. Others view it as...

    PLWA did a good job summarizing the issue: (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6002236795a3752c3a5420f6/t/683f49342aba071c74502444/1748977993059/Key+Quarterly+Spring+2025_compressed.pdf) PLWA is also a good resource for updates on these types of issues - Alex and crew will work hard.

    Corner Crossing latest

    I don't think its immoral for a person to not allow public access to said persons property. I do believe that it is immoral to block access to said public's property. I believe corner crossing is a valid tool for the public to access public property.

    We are on the same page. What I mean by “their” is their deeded land. I’m probably the biggest advocate for public land and public land access that you’ll ever meet. Clearly defined boundaries are good for everyone involved. Clearly mark the private land and don’t restrict access to the public...

    That's what I'm saying. He'd define is property and not care what happens beyond it - including corner crossing to public land. I don't agree with your last statement. Its not immoral for a person to not allow public access to their property.

    Corner Crossing latest

    If you cross knowing that there isn't a pin, aren't you crossing knowing that you're likely trespassing? So the intent would then be to trespass? This is a great thing and a great decision, lets try not to mess it up. We should be raising money for surveyors to start setting pins! A moral...

    Should trail cams be legal?

    I was surprised to see that people are saying they are okay on private land but not public. The comments are also leaning toward that its not fair chase. Its not fair chase on public land but it is on private land? Weird.
