Well aware of that.
Excellent!!!
I think that with egos involved it will be appealed. But I’ve been wrong before
I agree w/ you about the ego.
Clarification: The decisions of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals are binding on the states of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. Decisions of the 10th Circuit Court CAN be cited as precedent in other courts but are nonbinding outside it's jurisdiction. Decisions from outside jurisdictions hold less weight obviously than the court holding jurisdiction for the area but you can still cite case law and decisions of other courts.
Sure could have used this when I was hunting CO every year, and NM years before then. There were a number of honey holes I couldn't reach without crossing a corner. All I could do was watch from afar. Crossing one corner I know near a county road in SE NM would have made over 8k acres of BLM available to the public. And there were so many examples of that in that area.

Disappointed ranchers ponder potential 'conditions' on newfound access to public lands.
There was a case in CO awhile back regarding a hunter that was charged with trespass because he was technically on private but was walking along a fence on the boundary between public and private. The case was eventually tossed out because this fence actually crossed back and forth due to rocky terrain where sometimes the fence was struck in the ground on public and sometimes on private. The argument was basically that the hunter was simply following the intent of the fence as a boundary marker (the fence posts literally had public land and no trespassing markers on them) and therefore wasn't actually trespassing.
When this all started, I predicted that corner pins will start disappearing overnight once they lose in court. Now we shall see what happens. It might be fun to put some trail cameras on corner pins to see who comes in the dark of night with crowbars.
