Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game WY Corner crossing case

Rather than articles written about the issue, could you post a link to the actual briefs?
Is it available on bha?

I'll post up the motion when appropriate, I have a copy.

In the meantime...just out today:

I believe a complaint was submitted to the carbon County d.a. by G&F documenting allegations of hunter harassment by ranch employees.

That's off of my recollection from a few days ago, I'll go look up an article

Buzz, I’ve I’ve talked quite a bit of shiit to you over the years. It’s easy to be a [bleep] via the www when a guy doesn’t know folks. So here I am, apologizing for being a ass to you. After googling your name, I never realized how much work you put in trying to make things better for outdoorsman. So here I am, saying “ I appreciate ya”.. thanks for what you do.

No reason to apologize for anything, I dish it out more than I should and its only right I take some grief as well, I have it coming, no question.

As to the volunteer work I do, I feel like its an obligation I owe to the guys in the past that put themselves out there way more than I ever will. All I'm trying to do is keep what they fought so hard for.

I do appreciate your post all the same.

More about potential legislation that COULD have implications for corner crossing.

Hot button issue right now in Wyoming.

this is interesting. and this is my take from a couple of hats. from a cop standpoint i'm not filing those charges. if it is trespassing to cross airspace every drone pilot is also guilty of criminal trespass. prove harm was done by the crossing? how do we know surveys are accurate and the pins haven't been moved. 2 its just fuggin dumb. atleast here you cannot land lock land.

Be interesting to see if this bill goes forward.

Buzz has been a staunch supporter of hunters, public land access and sound game management for years.
We've had plenty of dust ups but I still respect his work for hunters, wildlife and public access.

It sure seems a bunch of "R" congressmen are against public hunting rights by sponsoring this bill. If they're not going to let the public use the public land, tax them for blocking it. That schit will change in a hurry.

If this passes Im for taxing NR hunters


Higher fees, preference point costs.. And lowering tag % for them as well.

gneral fund fo th budget is 2.8 billion. It's a rounding error to make up whatever loss in revenue comes about

It has until tomorrow to pass the house by 2/3 vote to even get to committee.

I'm doubtful it will even be voted on...but you never know. Will report back after tomorrow.

I was hoping it would not get to committee. Like you said, you never know.
Thank for the info.

In South Dakota landlocked public land can be accessed through a 66' easement on all section lines. From one extreme to the other.

In the WY case, how many acres of public is landlocked behind the corner?

Landlocked public land doesn’t do anything except for big ranchers and a few small land owners. Large parcels without legal walk-in access shouldn’t exist. The fact that you blame non resident hunters for this nonsensical situation is strange and seems somewhat paranoid. Did a non-resident kill your biggest buck, steal your girlfriend or some other awful thing that has you this wound up?

That specific spot has a about a half dozen sections that are all connected via corners. The map is posted in the brief at HT. So close to 4000 acres.

This is one of the dumbest statements that I have seen lately. NR hunters pay the lion's share of the budget, now. People like you, are what keeps roadblocks forming within the hunting community. Good grief.

If the public isn't able to access public land at a corner, where they technically haven't set foot on private land....then that land isn't public anymore.

Going one further, a law needs to be implemented quickly that prohibits and makes it criminal for a landowner/business, representative of a private landowner/business or individual who has hired the landowner/business from accessing the bordering public land that directly adjoins their property...

Basically if the public can't access the land (without setting one foot on the private property, the that private property owner/business isn't able to access the public land for their pleasure and business prosperity.

IMO this case is crazy.

As crazy as the case is , It’s really a good thing they were charged and they are fighting it. Hopefully this will set precedent and resolve this issue . This has the potential to open a huge amount of public land.

Been reading about Zeiss going Woke with plenty of post about not buying Zeiss anymore. I haven't seen a post here about not hunting in WY yet.

I don't mind going first...I've been building WY preference points for me and my son but after this crazy case have not interest in paying for preference points, high NR license and then guide fees to hunt in a state that is going to lock up public land and give to private individuals and businesses to just profit from it as if they own it.
