Corner crossing SCOTUS appeal

If his main motivation is the value of his land, which he thinks is negatively impacted by corner crossing, then he'll use what's left of the uncertainty to sell his land before it's confirmed that corner crossing is legal.

IMO, this is as much about pride and ego as it is money. Billionaires are used to getting their way, and don’t like being challenged by the uncleansed masses.

I’ll also reiterate the financial oxymoron in this case. If he loses again, the property “value” he claims he’s lost was never his. If he wins, he’s lost no value and therefore should not be entitled to damages based on loss of value.

A fruit cake maybe! I think I have one from 1996 still hanging around in a metal box.
The area we have for elk this year has very limited public land. If we corner crossed it would have a lot! I believe an outfitter is charging 5 figures on that BLM. He would defiantly hate us! If there is not a pin in the ground, you really dont know where the corner is. He has probably built 10' fences at these corners. It would be a major risk!!! The game warden would probably hate you also for putting him in the middle!

A Kentucky elk hunter weighing in on a district court ruling regarding corner crossing in Wyoming!? Kinda makes one chuckle a bit about the Kentuckian sour grapes.

Any update on this? @Big Fin you mentioned in elk talk they had till June 16th to file. Has that changed?Got word earlier today from Ryan Semerad that Iron Bar is looking to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court over corner crossing.
Had a lengthy discussion with Ryan and Lee Mickus about this a month ago, they think the case is solid and if the USSC hears the case they expect a favorable ruling. It was interesting and informative listening to them discuss the case in relation to how it would play out at the Supreme Court. I hope they're right, they have been so far.
Ranch owner wants U.S. Supreme Court to hear corner-crossing case - WyoFile
Fred Eshelman's legal team asked for more time to petition the nation’s high court to take up the long-contested legal matter.wyofile.com
They requested a 30 day extension, which was granted. So, it will be a while until we know.

Eshelman has until July 16 to state why the court should consider the corner-crossing conflict between public access to public land and private property rights.

I wouldn't count the corner crossing chickens before they hatch if this is going to the SCOTUS. This particular court is not trustworthy when it comes to rolling against billionaires who can pay for trips or buy and lease back an aging parent's home. And if the implication of this ruling impacts all billionaire landowners, there could be an awful to of grease on those wheels...

Especially since it won’t exactly take a genius to come up with a suspect and a motive
