Found the MT thread after posting, see @Elky Welky 's link for much more discussion.

It shows you, “see if this is being discussed already” when you go to start a thread….

I strongly debated between posting in the public land issues or Montana issues forum when I posted earlier. I think elkduds might have made the better call. Either way, big day and it's good to share with everyone.

BHA does indeed remind me sometimes, no matter how much I whine about some things they do, why I still pay my membership dues every year.

Where’s OnX at on this? They have more money than Elon. They better step up and put their money where their mouth is.

I checked in the Public Lands thread before posting this. It was not mentioned there. Did not think to check deeper, considering the news had national interest and impact and is routinely discussed in Public Lands. Your point is duly noted.

Reading the corner crossing dilemma over on Rockslide seems it has been decided by our governor and not the courts. SCOTUS declined to hear the case and upheld the 9th district courts decision. Yet, there may be more. It’s a shame that public land is not open to all. We pay a fee to hunt state lands but the corner crossing issue leaves a sour taste in our hearts. So, I will read more and await for someone entity to resolve this issue.
There are wardens that want nothing to do with this. But, have been told to issue a ticket for trespassing in the corner crossing dilemma. We shall see what comes next. MTG

Just one thing to add- 10th circuit found CC was legal in Wyoming. MT is in the 9th, so it is undecided law here.

My thoughts are that this is a clever and nefarious administration we are dealing with, and they wouldn’t have pushed this issue in MT if they didn’t have something up their sleeves. I’m highly suspicious of the happenings right now, and don’t trust them to play fair.
