A new way to look at corner crossing?

[std7mag]

Ok, so I was watching YouTube and a video came up about a landlocked piece of property being surrounded by a fence.

The property owner that was fenced in sued.
Surrounding property owner had to take fence down due to a Federal law labeled "Access by Necessity".
Essential saying that no land can be landlocked. An easement for access must be provided.

I'm hoping someone with more legal experience than me can shed some light on this.

Thanks!

if you're hinting at landlocked public land....

untested legal grounds, but the UIA on it's face says I should have the right to access landlocked public land.

someday we may finally see that battle play out in court too.

I'm guessing that the biggest issue would be defining the word "necessity".

Is it necessary to go onto that land to hunt? Probably not.
Is it necessary to have an easement for access to said land, which is public land. Probably yes.
