Got a response from my note. Seems he comes right out and continues to lie. It has alwasy been a grey area and never been illegal.

Thank you for reaching out to me about corner crossing. I appreciate hearing from you and value your input.
Our Montana way of life is second to none, and our rich outdoor heritage makes Montana a great place to live and raise a family. As governor, I’ve worked to protect our public lands and increase public access to more than 250,000 acres since taking office in 2021. While we cherish public access, a recent court ruling in Wyoming has caused confusion and led some to believe that so-called “corner crossing” is legal in Montana.
Despite these claims, corner crossing is not legal in Montana and remains a trespass. As such, Montanans who seek to corner cross must get permission from landowners to cross privately-owned land. This policy is not new. For years, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has stated that corner crossing remains illegal in Montana, under both Republican and Democrat administrations.
Thank you again for reaching out. Hearing from you and other Montanans helps me better serve you and better understand your perspective. I will continue to rely on your views as I lead Montana, which is my great honor. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for anything. My door is always open.
Sincerely,
Greg Gianforte
Governor
