Back on topic. Does anyone find the directors comments interesting in this press release? Earlier statements “corner crossing is illegal and has always been”. Now for this “we need to find some solutions”. Why Christy? You said it’s illegal.
This thread has had a lot of discussion about the state legislature but the 10th circuit ruling was based on federal pre-emption and why the ruling isn’t vulnerable to a change in Wyoming state law or in my opinion Montana state law
Why? What would that solve? Definitive decision? Just like roe v wade was prior to this Supreme Court right? The reality is, and despite the Montana state officials gaslighting us(which have no influence on federal law) that a very solid legal argument was tested on a true corner cross by the...
Wonder if anyone has any knowledge/past experience with what the discount is for inaccessible land. I remember a really long time ago some inaccessible state sections being offered to the lessee at about 25% of fmv of similar accessible private lands. But I also have been told I have early...
It’s pretty simple, in Montana, ranchers, farmers, and bigger landowners are the chosen ones, anointed by god. No one else does anything or is as important. I grew up in that atmosphere as a rural MT ranch kid. Once you realize this everything else falls in place as far as understanding all...
I drew a Montana moose tag in 2001 otherwise nothing since and that’s applying for Montana Utah Wyoming Arizona Colorado Idaho Nevada and New Mexico OIL most years but I shot a 400” bull and a 200” muley on public land in Montana in the last 10 years so I have had my luck in other ways the way I...
That’s a bit of an invisible border up their in the nw corner of MT and if your looking for extreme radical partisanship that’s a great place to blend in with the locals like the fielders. I went to a party up in Libby back in my college years and I will never forget one of the locals doing a...
Yeah what they were actually attracted to was a brown stain. There’s still people in Montana that aren’t color blind and can see it for what it is but not many.
I’m not seeing how this changes a thing other than more state level intimidation. This comment is not meant to mean we shouldn’t all comment as we should let our govt officials know when they err however any pinned federal corner to federal corner is fair game UIA interpretation of the 10th...
I have always wondered about the state sections that touch a county road(clear legal access) but than corner to federal land. It seems the UIA would apply to those. Going from federal to state seems much more less clear cut to me
They are going to all end up as dog chews. I’m good with that. They are just my memories. I got two boys. I plan to write the stories down but it’s okay if the boys feed them to their dogs. Twenty years and the technology advances i see coming, I doubt anyone will even be able to relate to...
