    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    I’m impressed that he’s actually an active member in the forum, and ill be even more impressed if he actually listens to the opposing view, seriously considers it, and has the gumption to admit when wrong. Being against public access to public land because there are poachers and trespassers out...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    That's an odd bar to set. Of all the court decisions in the country every year, SCOTUS reviews less than 100. If you apply that logic to other laws, you basically don't believe in 99.99% of them. You rebel you.

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    Here's the thing - we are not for asking corner crossing to be legal. We are saying its never been a trespass. Therefore, any ranch with checkerboard is and always has always been subject to "corner crossing potential". If you purchased it thinking that wasn't the case and paid more for it, you...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    I think much of the contention surrounding this issue comes from a misunderstanding of how government works. I thought we've moved past this. We aren’t talking about the legislature changing the law; we’re talking about a court interpreting and clarifying existing law. If a court determines that...

    MT Lawsuit over change in land exchange policy

    You’re right on the money. We didn’t get the opportunity to review or fully understand the changes before they were implemented, and they are big changes. It seems like it might put some weight into access for parcels, the problem is that the state doesn’t think “corner locked” parcels are...

    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.

    Rancher/outfitter close public road in eastern MT

    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...

    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...

    Rancher/outfitter close public road in eastern MT

    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.

    Corner Crossing latest

    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...

    Corner Crossing latest

    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.
