I find errors in OnX all the time. It's really good for what it does, but that shit is not survey grade.

Personally, I think if landowners want to make a case that they have been injured by someone inadvertantly straying 20 feet over a boundary line, the burden of accurately establishing and marking that boundary line, should fall on them (as well as the legal risk of inaccurately marking a boundary). If I were a western game warden, I think I would get sick of this stuff pretty quickly...

I think personal/business loss is the burden for civil liability, but criminal trespass doesn’t require it.

Correct, criminal trespass typically does not require proof of injury or loss beyond a person entering and/or remaining.

So, what data set would a landowner use to "prove" onx is off 30 yards (which is doubtful), on an unsurveyed boundary?

Also, what would a warden use, if not onx, to determine a trespass to hunt violation?

Finally, what would a prosecuter use to prosecute a hunter for trespass to hunt that is beyond a reasonable doubt?

We were stopped by a game warden in nm one time a year or two ago in some checkerboard stuff and he told us that they base their decisions on trespassing off of onx. Whether that holds up in court is another question
