Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

I checked in on this case today and see it got moved to federal court a few weeks ago. To our legal people, does this add any significance?
FWP is using our hunter dollars to pay for extremely expensive private attorneys—when FWP already has their own in-house counsel. And yes, those attorneys have attempted to remove it to federal court. It’s abundantly clear that on this issue FWP is no longer acting in the interest of the majority of Montanans.

But we have amended the complaint and refiled to clear up that issue, and expect it to remain in state court.

I’m not going to discuss all of our discussions with our attorneys for obvious reasons. But speaking outside of those conversations and from personal experience with litigation, I believe there will be lots of frivolous, piddling motions and maneuvers by FWP’s hired guns to try and drain the war chest and drag this thing on as long as possible.

We appreciate your efforts!
 
Common sense would dictate to one that if a ranch has a corner “hoppable section” that holds elk, and “corner hopping” is now legal, ranch loses value. Like I’d care if they did lose inflated value?? WTF? I’m in business of buying ranches, not fantasizing about govt or groups buying land for me to access. I hope it cheapens land to ag prices, so I have a chance( now that is a fantasy).
Common sense would then also dictate there would be examples of these corner-properties losing value in the 10th circuit states after the ruling . . .
