Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

[Deez Nutz]

Sooo,…. Can we corner cross? …or no?

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 . . .

Like a game of whack a mole but with turds instead of mole's. Good luck we will keep trying to support you guys who are fighting for us.

i will put the first 100 dollars to your defense fund.

I’ve got a spot that I would like to corner cross but if I did, it would be very evident and I would be willing to bet that the land owners would be making a call to the authorities/trying to sabotage my hunt. Trying to gauge weather it would be worth it or not based on how the authorities would respond to the complaint.

Can we prove the funds are coming from our tax dollars?
Being used to fund litigation that is OPPOSING the will/best interest of those from whom the money came?
Class action??

I mean, if someone took money from “investors” for an insidious/fictional purpose…….

Whoever made the decision to get expensive seperate/private legal counsel needs to be let go.

FWP mission statement:

"Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, through its employees and citizen commission and board, provides for the stewardship of the fish, wildlife, parks, and recreational resources of Montana, while contributing to the quality of life for present and future generations."

This action and the steps taken to get here is strong departure from that mission statement.
